New Underwood blends prairie calm with practical convenience, about a 20-minute drive from Rapid City and just west of Box Elder and Pennington County services. Commuters appreciate quick access along the I‑90 corridor, while travelers can be at Rapid City Regional Airport in short order via the user-friendly terminals at Rapid City Regional Airport. Families connected to nearby Ellsworth Air Force Base also find the location appealing, with an easy route to on-base amenities and employment.
Education sits at the heart of town life. Small class sizes in the local schools foster strong teacher-student relationships, and Friday-night games feel like a community reunion. Housing ranges from tidy in-town homes to acreage properties on the edge of open country, offering room for gardens, workshops, and stargazing.
Weekends tend to wander outdoors. New Underwood puts you between two icons: the otherworldly butte-and-badland vistas of Badlands National Park to the east and the ponderosa pines and lakes of the Black Hills National Forest to the west. Farmers markets, youth sports, and county events add a steady rhythm, while Rapid City’s museums, healthcare, and dining expand your options without sacrificing small-town ease.
