Pine Lakes Addition, SD

Pine Lakes Addition is a tiny Minnehaha County CDP east of Sioux Falls, the kind of place that can disappear into the metro map if you are not looking for the name. It covers about 0.18 square miles, all land, and its identity is mostly residential rather than a separate town center. The community sits in the Split Rock Township area, with Sioux Falls providing the larger region's jobs, shopping, schools, and services. The contrast is the point: a very small named place in the county's open eastern edge, close enough to the city to share its orbit but still listed on its own.

With a 2020 population of 306, Pine Lakes Addition is more about a defined neighborhood footprint than civic landmarks. There is no courthouse square or main street to summarize; the useful local read is its scale, location, and relationship to Sioux Falls. Minnehaha County's rural roads and agricultural land begin around the developed edge, while the city is the obvious reference point for directions. Pine Lakes Addition is one of those South Dakota CDPs whose whole story is in the map: a small residential pocket, a county boundary, and a nearby city growing around it.
