Best areas to explore in Yankton?

Hi all, Military spouse here. Poverty rate is 5.6%, which is pretty low. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. What would you do? Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value cultural scene, you'll love it. The cost of living is genuinely pretty good and I've found it was the best decision I ever made. My neighborhood (Greenfield) is affordable and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from New York, be prepared for the culture shock. cost of living is completely different here. And Chain restaurants dominate.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
