Eastridge Acres
Fifty two parcels on Eastridge Road between Piedmont and Black Hawk, mostly around an acre, with a few that run to seven.
- Typical Lot
- About 1.07 acres at the median in county parcel records, with the middle half near 0.9 to 2.2 acres and several parcels around seven acres.
Facts checked August 2026
Eastridge Road climbs the east side of the valley and the houses came in over decades rather than all at once. You can read that from the truck: rooflines and yard fences that clearly did not arrive in the same year.
An acre is the working number
By county parcel records, the median parcel is right around 1.07 acres and the middle half runs about 0.9 to 2.2 acres. That is enough for a garden, a shop and parking for a trailer without buying a haying operation.
The exceptions are worth chasing. LaRue Road and Eastridge Hill Drive carry parcels near seven acres, and one bare parcel measures over nine. Those are different properties in the same plat, and they price differently.
Eight blocks, five roads and no uniformity
The plat spreads across eight blocks and touches Eastridge Road, Eastridge Hill Drive, LaRue Road, Truman Road and Cedar Lane. Homes vary by era and by upkeep, which is normal for a plat that filled in slowly and is the reason an inspection here earns its fee.
Forty five of the 52 parcels carry a house. Five are bare and two are exempt parcels rather than lots you could build on.
What has to be verified
No subdivision wide water or wastewater arrangement appears in the public record, and this is exactly the kind of mixed age plat where borrowing an answer from the neighbor is a mistake. Ask for the well log or service agreement and the onsite wastewater permit for the specific parcel.
On an older acreage lot, also ask when the drainfield was last located and whether the driveway has been widened enough for a fire truck to turn around.

Where it is
The large pin marks the approximate center of Eastridge Acres. The smaller pins are the Ellsworth Air Force Base main gate, downtown Rapid City, Monument Health Rapid City Hospital and Rapid City Regional Airport. Approximate locations only, not a boundary or a survey.
What homes cost here
Meade County does not publish sale prices, so there is no verified range here. With homes spanning several build eras and parcels from under an acre to over seven, I comp by age, condition and usable ground rather than by the plat name.

Private well
If the home is on a well, ask for the well log, test flow rate and water quality, and find out the age of the pump and pressure tank before you remove inspection.
Read the full guideSeptic system
Homes here span build eras, so the age of the onsite system varies as much as the age of the roof. Get the permit, the last pumping date and the drainfield location before you plan any outbuilding.
Read the full guideWho maintains the road
Find out whether the last stretch to the house is a county road, a road district, a shared easement or your own responsibility, and get the answer in writing. Ask what the district assesses and what that assessment covers.
Snow removal on this street
Ask which priority tier the street is on, or whether anybody plows it at all. On a grade or a cul de sac it changes how you get out on the third morning of a storm, so ask a neighbor rather than the seller.
Radon
The Black Hills sit on granite and radon levels here run high, so test during the inspection period and price mitigation into your offer if the number comes back elevated.
Read the full guideHail and roof age
Hail season here runs from late May through August, so ask for the roof age, the last claim history and any impact-resistant rating before you write.
Wildfire risk and insurance
Get an insurance quote before your inspection deadline, because a pine-heavy lot can change the premium and, in some cases, the carrier's willingness to write it at all.
Read the full guideProperty taxes
Look up the actual assessed value and the current levy for the parcel instead of trusting the listing figure, which is often a year or more behind.
Read the full guideCovenants and HOA documents
Read the covenants before you write, especially on outbuildings, RV and trailer parking, fencing, rentals and exterior materials.
Which school this address feeds
A district line can run through a single subdivision, so confirm the assignment for the specific address with the district office rather than the plat or the listing. Boundaries also change between years.
Schools
Confirm the assigned district and building for the exact parcel before you rely on it.
Verify current boundaries with the district for any specific address.
I provide objective school information consistently and do not personally rate or recommend schools. Attendance boundaries can cross city and county lines, and the district's current assignment for the exact address controls. Verify directly with the district before making a school-driven decision.
