Facts checked August 2026
Aurora, Orion, Aquila. Constellation street names on the west edge of Spearfish, which is a nice touch on a subdivision whose real selling point is far more practical: this is one of the lower cost ways to own a new house inside city limits in Spearfish. The floor plans run small on purpose, roughly 840 to 1,400 square feet, two and three bedrooms. That size has been the hardest thing to find anywhere in the northern Hills, and it is the reason people who cannot get comfortable with a $450,000 payment end up out here. What you should expect from the street itself is honesty about the stage it is in. Sixteenth acre lots, young trees or none, and graded pads next door waiting on the next phase. City water, city sewer and city plowing come with the address, and I-90 gets you to Rapid City in about three quarters of an hour.
Read the base price like a builder wrote it
Hills View publishes base pricing from $253,344 as of May 2026. At that number you get Formica counters, chrome hardware, a crawl space and a two car garage. Granite or quartz, upgraded finishes, a third garage bay and a basement of any kind are all extra, and a basement is the upgrade that moves the total most in this climate.
So get the current features sheet in hand before you compare that base price against a resale down the road. The house at base price is a real house, and it is not the house in the model.
The incentives published here are also smaller than the same builder publishes at their other communities. Ask what is available on a specific plan and a specific lot instead of reading an incentive as a signal about the market.
Living on a street that is still being built
Hills View took over as developer in February 2025 and building has not stopped since, so plan on trailers, mud in spring and a dumpster somewhere in view for a few more years. That is the cost of the price. It also means the lot behind you may still be a decision somebody else has not made yet.
Ask which phase a house sits in and what is platted behind it, then look at where the grading sends water on a lot cut in the last two seasons. On new construction in Spearfish those two questions are worth more than a punch list.

- Lots are 0.16 acres and nearly identical, small by northern Hills standards.
- Lawrence County has platted 82 of the builder's 178 planned homesites, so expect building around you for years.
- Spearfish does not publish a plow priority map, so ask how the street clears.

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.
Property 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 guideWildfire 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 guideWhat the base price leaves out
Get the builder's included list in writing and compare it to the model you walked. Landscaping, sod, fencing, a finished basement, appliances and window coverings are the usual gaps, and they add up fast.
What is still to be built nearby
Ask the city or county what is platted on the ground next to you and how many phases are left. A view over open dirt is a construction site first and something else later, so find out which lots are already sold.

How far along it is
49 of the 82 parcels in Sky Ridge carried a house as of the 2023 cutoff, leaving 33 without one.
- Platted Parcels
- 82
- Parcels With A House
- 49 (60%)
- Bare Lots
- 33
A bare lot is a lot with no house on it. It is not a listing. Most are owned by somebody who is not selling.
The City of Spearfish holds 27 parcels and Sky Ridge Development LLC holds 19, so more than half the plat is still in city and developer hands. What gets built next comes from them, on their timing, not from resale listings.
Lawrence County parcel records, 2023 cutoff. Ask me for anything more current.
The parcel counts on this page come from Lawrence County records, and the newest build year anywhere in that dataset is 2023. Hills View Homes reported 51 homes finished and 4 more under construction as of February 2025, and the Black Hills Pioneer reported 30 more completed during 2025. So the real number of finished homes here is higher than the 49 the county record shows. Treat the count as a floor and ask me for a current one. The two numbers on this page are both correct and they measure different things: 178 is what the builder plans to build in total, and 82 is what Lawrence County has platted so far. The gap between them is the part of Sky Ridge that does not exist yet.
Common questions about Sky Ridge
Is there an HOA, and what does it cost?
Hills View Homes does not publish HOA information for Sky Ridge, so treat it as unanswered rather than as no. Dues and what they cover can move a monthly payment by a hundred dollars or more, and the recorded covenants for the plat are the place that settles it. Request the recorded covenants for the plat and the current dues in writing from the builder.
How many homes are built at Sky Ridge?
More than the county record shows. Lawrence County counts 49 homes across 82 parcels, but that data has a 2023 cutoff. Hills View Homes reported 51 complete and 4 under construction as of February 2025, and the Black Hills Pioneer reported 30 more finished during 2025. Treat any published count as a floor and ask me for a current one.
How big is the Sky Ridge development?
The builder publishes 178 homesites. Lawrence County shows 82 parcels platted so far, so a large share of it is still ahead of you.
How big are the lots at Sky Ridge?
0.16 acres, about 7,000 square feet, and almost identical across the plat at 0.16 to 0.17 acres.
Is Sky Ridge inside Spearfish city limits?
Yes, all 82 parcels, in Spearfish School District 40-2.
What to check before you write an offer
On any address you are serious about, buyer due diligence should include the school assignment from the district, the water quality report from the utility that serves it, and the assessed value and levy from the county. Here are the sources for each one.
The sources, by category
Schools
Confirm the assigned school for a specific address with the district, because boundaries change and they change more often than people expect. Spearfish School District 40-2 · School and district profiles on GreatSchools · Preschools and private schools in the Black Hills
Drinking water
Every public water system publishes an annual water quality report. Read the one for the system that serves the address you are considering, not the one for the town next door. Rapid City water quality reports · City of Box Elder Water Division · City of Spearfish water · EPA drinking water lookup
Property taxes and assessed value
Lawrence County Equalization · Pennington County Equalization · Meade County Equalization
The county record, the plat and the recorded covenants are the three documents to read on any address here. I do not rate schools and I do not characterize neighborhoods as safe or unsafe. Those readings are yours to make from the sources above.

The interesting comparison here is a base price plus the upgrades you will not skip against a fifteen year old resale on the north side. Start from the payment you are comfortable with and run both.
