Shindler, SD

Just southeast of Sioux Falls along Highway 11, Shindler offers the breathing room of the South Dakota countryside right on the edge of town. It is an easy eight-mile drive from the heart of the city and only a short trip from the Big Sioux River along the Iowa border. For anyone moving to the area, this corner of Lincoln County combines wide-open prairie views with quick, straightforward access to city jobs, schools, and shopping.

Shindler started out in the late 1800s as a small railroad stop named after homesteader Charles Shindler, featuring a grain elevator, depot, and community hall. The trains and old storefronts have moved on, and the area has settled into a quiet residential pocket. Today, newcomers look to Shindler for larger properties, scenic views, and a relaxed neighborhood feel, all with the convenience of Sioux Falls right next door.
