    Clean well-kept active affordable community

    I live here and appreciate the clean, well-kept facility and pleasant grounds - spacious apartments with large windows, excellent closet space, in-unit kitchen and washer/dryer. Ample common areas include a large activity room, chapel, dining area, garden and outdoor seating; outings, bingo, concerts, music program, mahjong and birthday parties keep the community active. Staff are friendly and responsive 24/7 (maintenance usually within a day), pets allowed, and month-to-month/income-based pricing makes it an affordable, good-value option.

    Summary of reviews

    Sunnycrest Retirement Village functions primarily as an independent-living community composed of multiple buildings, including recently constructed units. Apartment sizes and layouts are generally described as spacious, with large windows, ample closet space, and many units equipped with convenient in-unit appliances such as washers/dryers and microwaves. The community is pet-friendly and offers income-based pricing and month-to-month lease options, which several reviewers characterized as good value for the cost.

    Staff and management are frequently described in positive terms. Maintenance responsiveness and timely repairs are repeatedly noted, and front-line staff are characterized as friendly and helpful, with some locations offering 24/7 coverage. Management appears attentive to building upkeep and grounds maintenance; outdoor areas, multiple courtyards, and gardening opportunities are consistently highlighted as pleasant aspects of the campus.

    Dining and food service are mixed strengths and limitations. The property supports delivered meal options and in some cases a midday meal service, and there is a sizable dining area. However, meal-service continuity is variable: many residents rely on external delivered-meal programs and catering menus rather than a full in-house dining program. Menu variety and availability outside of delivered meals appear limited for some residents, and several reviewers described limited appeal of the catering-style menu.

    Activity offerings provide basic social engagement but show room for expansion. Regular events include bingo, concerts, church services, birthday gatherings, mahjong, puzzles, and occasional outings to shopping and grocery stores. There are dedicated activity and exercise rooms and organized transportation for errands. At the same time, reviewers indicated a lack of broader enrichment programming (for example, painting classes or lecture series) and described social life as often centered around meals and similar formats. Some residents have formed self-directed groups (for example, veterans’ groups), which helps fill gaps in programming.

    Facility logistics present practical concerns for prospective residents. Parking and garage access can require lengthy walks from units, and trash and garage areas are not always near apartments. Construction activity has generated intermittent noise and disruption in some parts of the campus. Fitness amenities and outdoor recreational areas are relatively small compared with the overall campus size, which may limit activity options for more active residents.

    In short, Sunnycrest offers a well-kept, community-oriented independent-living environment with a strong maintenance and staff presence, value-oriented pricing, and useful transportation and social amenities. Prospective residents should weigh the trade-offs between apartment features and campus logistics, the independent-living expectations for household tasks, and the current scope of on-site dining and enrichment programming when evaluating fit for their lifestyle and needs.

The campus has several buildings, including a new tower with various apartments, and there are 103 street-level apartments along with 180 multi-story units that you can reach by elevator. The apartments come as one-bedroom or two-bedroom options, and they have modern appliances like refrigerators, microwaves, dishwashers, and washer-dryer sets, which helps people feel comfortable and at home. There's no large investment, endowment, or entrance fee required to move in, and the security deposit is small and refundable after checking for damage, plus you can rent on a month-to-month basis for more flexibility.

    Sunnycrest has both market rate and HUD-subsidized apartments, serving people at all income levels, and even accepts Sioux Falls Housing Choice Vouchers. Residents make use of private apartments, as well as attached or unattached garages, ground patios, six community decks, and thirteen neighborhood lounges. Outside, you'll find multiple courtyards and adjoining parks, making the place peaceful and giving people room to walk, sit, and enjoy the outdoors.

    People appreciate the friendly and helpful staff, who respond promptly to maintenance requests, usually within 24 hours, and there's management and support always available for residents and their families. A strong sense of community shapes daily life here, with activities like mahjong, puzzles, bowling, church services, group outings to theaters, museums, cultural spots, dining, and local parks.

    Physical and mental well-being is important, and there are activity rooms with exercise equipment, regular birthday celebrations, and chapel services for all Christian denominations.

Residents can join in social, educational, and entertaining programs through the "Crestline Newsletter" or through news and announcements, and there's a campus map for easier navigation.

    Faith-based and Christian values shape the community atmosphere, but residents come from all backgrounds, and there is a policy of non-discrimination, following Fair Housing Law. The onsite care covers independent seniors wanting autonomy, those needing some help with daily activities, and people needing memory care or skilled nursing, offering tailored support when needed. Awards for best meals, activities, and friendliness show that residents and their families recognize what's done well here, but folks also find that it's just a welcoming, down-to-earth place. With maintenance-free homes, social activities for making friends, and a focus on positive attitudes, Sunnycrest Retirement Village provides a practical environment for enjoying retirement in Sioux Falls.
