About New Underwood

Sitting on the rolling high plains about twenty minutes east of Rapid City, New Underwood offers quiet, small-town living with an easy commute to regional jobs and services. Home to around 600 residents, the town sits right along Interstate 90 and Highway 14. That location gives locals plenty of open prairie space and views toward the Black Hills while keeping shopping, healthcare, and dining close at hand.
