    I like the attentiveness to the comments, i just found out about north dakota today, everywhere in america i would be scared because of the crime rate, so i would always look for apartments at high places so crime would be at ground floor nowhere near me, but for once when looking for places in north dakota i feel safe no matter where. It will be my first time in america, i was born american but never had the chance to move there, i dont have much education but im hoping to grow. The rent when i was looking for apartments were like around 500 dollars a month which was crazy but i also found that the minimum wage is 7 dollars an hour so it makes sense. But im curious as to how easy it is to find jobs, like thats the only issue because a small state with few people means few jobs aswell i feel like, but i could be wrong. I want to work at minimum wage until i get higher education, any advise if i were to move here.

      This is mostly accurate. Most people move to Williston for the $$$. EVERYONE, regardless of what industry you are actually in, is in the oil and gas business. That said - is there anywhere in America where good paying jobs can be found that cost of living isn’t also high?

    I moved to Fargo for a job and was there for just under two years. I am now living in California. Fargo is a cross betweeen the Twilight Zone and purgatory. The people were just weird...kinda off. What I discovered about the place, was the people born and raised in the area did not like newcomers. They looked at you as an "intruder, " and I was told as much. I found old-fashioned attitudes, and a dislike of anyone who was not straight and white. I also did not like the ultra-conservative attitudes. It is 100% Trump, and you do have a lot of radical right-wingers. Everyone drives a pickup truck and looks like they are on meth or live in a trailer park. The cost of living is not that low, and jobs pay dirt. I was never so glad to get out of Fargo. Just wasn't my cup of tea.

      Yes there is an “international airport” (code FAR) but there are no regularly scheduled commercial flights internationally. Any international flights would be private/charter aircraft. Most (all?) international flights would be through a connection in Chicago, Minneapolis or Denver. Reach out to us if we can help you learn more about the area and connect with a Realtor with our team that can help you with finding the right home.

    Lots of opportunities in North Dakota. We came into Grand Forks 15 years ago with a household income of $36k, this year, we are leaving with a household income over $400k. My wife and I both achieved advanced degrees, me in engineering, her in nursing. We have been trying to leave for 5 years, but kept getting sucked back in with good opportunities. Good problem to have. Now, we are headed out of state. If you need some new opportunities, keep your eyes open. There are great opportunities in North Dakota. You just have to be able to survive the harsh winters.

    Ok, so this dude apparently sells real estate. Here's the reality, he's shown you some of the nicer areas of Bismarck but none of the MANY trailer courts. I encourage you to do two things, really look into what winters are like in North Dakota. Hint: they are brutally, brutally cold and long and the daylight periods are extremely short, so, you're going to be going to work in the dark and driving home in the dark. Visit the area IN THE WINTER. Those drone shots with water and boats and ringed with homes are private property. I've lived in North Dakota for most of my life and in Bismarck for almost 30 years and I honestly love it but I've had the unique perspective to be able to tell you that the majority of people that come here seeking the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow wind up seriously, seriously disappointed and wind up leaving after a short period of time. Here's some advice you can really use, (1): go onto Zillow and look at the real estate that's for sale and/or has sold, it is very expensive here (2) search for "flooding in Bismarck" and/or "flooding in North Dakota and (3) "blizzard in Bismarck" or "North Dakota blizzard". There is definitely a reason that there are only 790,000 people living in the 70,700 square miles that are North Dakota.

    The problem with North Dakota is the right to work law. My wife was forced out of her job 11 days after our two year old son was diagnosed with cancer. The Williston Basin School District HR Judith B is the one who did it. School District didn't want the insurance hit. Disgusting! Also there is no BBB in North Dakota. There is a wells fargo atm but no bank branch. There is no Chase bank branch. The local government is super corrupt. Example, the mayor bought land from the city then sold it back to the city to build a school. A plus is no gangs, no traffic, new airport. We bought back in 2015 and our value has doubled.
