About Crooks

Crooks sits about ten minutes northwest of Sioux Falls, offering an easy commute for anyone looking for a quiet small-town atmosphere close to city amenities. With roughly 1,400 residents, it has a relaxed, close-knit feel with peaceful residential streets and wide-open South Dakota skies. The town was originally called New Hope, a name that still carries on at New Hope Park, where youth ball games and weekend gatherings bring folks together all summer long.

Families love having Tri-Valley Elementary right in town, giving kids a true neighborhood school experience. Between the community center, local parks, and active recreation leagues, there are plenty of everyday spots to get outside and chat with neighbors. For anyone relocating to the Sioux Falls area who wants a friendly, slower-paced hometown, Crooks is well worth a look.
