Steve Van Buskirk, CEO and owner of Van Buskirk Companies, emphasizes the uniqueness of Mapleton Highlands. “We’re out of executive neighborhoods in Sioux Falls.

The neighborhood’s design boasts curving streets and elevated vistas, offering residents sweeping views of the golf course and surrounding valleys. Lot prices range from approximately $195,000 to $500,000, catering to astute homeowners seeking custom-built residences.
