We are here to help...well, at least a little.
We've compiled a reference list below with their respective contact and links. Each company works individually - there is no real "master" website with ALL the rentals available in the area. (unlike home sales, where we have a central "multiple listing service" database with all the homes listed for sale) You will need to contact each company directly to see the home or apartment listed on their site.
At the Emond Team, our focus is selling residential real estate and we personally don't have any rentals. However - we do have a working knowledge of the industry and would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Classified Ads are also a good place to check for those individual Landlords:
Rapid City Journal: http://rapidcityjournal.com/ads/housing/rent/
And you can't forget Craigslist! https://rapidcity.craigslist.org/d/housing/search/hhh
(Be aware of scammers on Craigslist. Scammers are known to copy pictures and info from sale listings and create rental listings. Do not wire money. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.)
Antelope Ridge Subdivision:
Old Base housing just outside of Ellsworth Air Force Base. Online application and services.

What you will find out very quickly is the amount you pay for a rental could get you into a decent home - if you can get preapproved. There are a few programs out there to help you with downpayments and repairing any credit issues you may have. Ask us for our local lenders we trust and have worked with to start your process!
Pets can also be a struggle. Few landlords and apartments will allow pets in their rentals, and will require deposits and potential increase in rent if they do allow. I've had some animal lovers that went looking for rentals, only to buy a home so they could provide a better place for their pets and family.
The rental market has been crazy the past few years. You may need to act quickly if you see a place that you love.
Should you rent or buy? What are the pros and cons of each?
We know buying isn't for everyone. We can help you make the best choice for you. We'd love to sit down over coffee with you and talk about your options...no pressure or sales. A conversation to help.
Whatever you decide, love where you live! :)
