One thing i noticed here is that rabbits and squirrels are not afraid of humans. And one squirrel actually approached me with arms stretched out, seemingly asking for food. That immediately gave me an idea how good of people here are.

I just moved back to Fargo and I definitely missed it was gone for a year and there’s no place like it

I moved to Fargo from Arkansas 6 years ago… it was definitely a huge culture shock and change but I absolutely love it… I live in West Fargo

I have lived in fargo my whole life and I don’t know anyone who likes fargo this much

Born and raised here. I will never leave!

I live here but is the quiet city and is the one which control teens and youth behavior in better way

I came here in about 1990 to get a master's degree and never left. I've had no troubles finding good jobs in my field. Wages aren't as good as on the coasts but the low cost of living more than makes up for that. Fargo isn't for everyone. If it's strengths match what you want in life it's sure worth a look though. And yes, the winters are cold. It's not really that big a deal. Appropriate cold weather clothing and a car with auto start so you can let it warm up a bit go a long way to taking the sting out of winter.

I've lived in the FM area for 30 years now and I think your wrong about housing being affordable. Your paying an average of 350-400k for a 10-20 year old home. If you want new construction it's upwards of 550k+. That is not affordable. If your renting...say...a three bedroom apartment be prepared to pay $1500+ a month for a modern apartments and 1200+ for older buildings. Don't move here thinking it's cheap, because it's not...at all.. I'd say if your a family of 5 you'll need $70,000-$100,000 income to live comfortably.

I love Fargo! I studied at NDSU in 2019/2020 and it was a wonderful part of my life! Miss you Fargo ♥ Regardings from Brazil

I’d move to Fargo ND. Born and raised in California so it’ll always be home but California agenda is no joke. Also time to experience another state, another way of life. Fargo is on my list.

Make sure you consider the political environment you want to live in when moving to the area. Moorhead, the Minnesota side, is in a state that is more liberal, including protecting abortion in the state constitution. While Fargo itself is relatively liberal, the state itself is not. If you have a trans kid, for example, you'll need to live on the Minnesota side for them to get health care related to that. There's a significant political difference depending on which side of the river you're on, so if that is important to you, definitely research before moving.

Looks amazing. So clean and maintained. I am in Austin and cannot imagine life now without violence, homeless camps and pan handlers on every corner.

Very conservative state👍

Been here for almost 10 years and there is nothing to do. Whatever this guy shows is absolutely nothing about this Fargo and everything he shows is in west Fargo, not Fargo itself since it’s a dying place.

It isnt midwest nice. To clicky. If you didnt grow up here you aren't accepted into the in crowd. If you move go further west- by alot.

I'm from Greece and I'll move to fargo for 2 years for work, i hope it's a nice place

Looking at ND because it’s one of the last places that feel like America.

ive lived in Fargo for 40 years

If I came to this place, I would be a guy who is from Texas, the hot place in America, so cold places aren't really an issue for me.

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.

My opinion: I like Fargo, it's a cool town. It's the one real state in ND; politically, it's a blueish oasis in this reddest of red states.

Streets are clean..I don't see any Electrical Posts...think electric cables are Buried...

Moved back to Bismarck from Phoenix Az because family here. Love it here. Much like Fargo.

Thanks for the tour, we are new here in fargo,ND we just arrived sept.6. Nice informations you give to ask. We will visit soon the places that you showed to us. We need to adjust first to the cold weather here. Its too cold for us bcos we came from the philippines. Thanks again.🎉

Fargo is getting to big and to many oblivous people when it comes to driving. Wahpeton, ND is better. BTW Essentia is the hometown hospital. Sanford just got there in 2010 or 2011. Essentia has been there as long as I can remember. Essentia used to be Dakota clinic.

I live in ND and love Fargo!! I had cancer and doctored there and It was top notch 😊 everything is so clean because you can’t be homeless here 🤷🏼‍♀️ we do have 9 months of winter but I was in Mississippi one summer and I’d much rather have a snow storm than a hurricane or that heat and humidity 😅

Yeah if you can handle frozen it’s you place

I think it really depends on why youre thinking of moving to Fargo, what exactly youre looking for and where youre originating from. Not a visually attractive place; It's not picturesque at all. Instead, I moved to western Minnesota a year ago, so Im only maybe 45 minutes away from stateline-which is Fargo/Moorhead. I head over every week as there are more options for shopping than you'll ever need. Also, very good health care facilities and top tier doctors. ND def has the tax advantages compared to MN.

I live in Georgia, smackdab in Hapeville next to the Airport and Atlanta. My uncle stays in Havana, ND. I'm thinking of relocating up to Fargo as a 2nd choice..

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.

Congratulations, thank you for the información. Later I will email at you.

yep, moving here next week for the second time. Im not a fan of winter but its so safe, clean and affordable!! And Im coming from Phoenix..lol

Fargo beautiful city to raise family 👪 ❤️ 💖 ♥️

pls make another video on winter. lol

if you move to North Dakota, you might as well be a dead fish at the bottom of the Missouri River.

i love Fargo, North Dakota.. from Winnipeg!

Great video! Thanks!!

Going to North Dakota next year thanks!!!!

What about the job market there?

Cold ? It gets - 45 bellow zero hahahahaha this guy will be frozen

Winters too brutal, I recommend Rapid City if you wanna move to a Dakota

Build a bike/walking trail along the river between Fargo and grand forks

The most expensive area to buy a home in most neighborhoods in my area are the nice older neighborhoods

Is there an international airport "in" Fargo? Thank you. I enjoyed this video; it's very informative. Thank you🙏

what is the average salary level for professions such as loader, plumber, electrician and what is the cost of housing if you rent?

Living in Grand Forks f0r 20 years and gp Fargo to shop.

He is only recording to sell houses. Be realistic, Fargo is a big village, nothing to do, winters are long and too cold. Mall is too small… everything else is nothing

❤

What about north lakes?

For those thinking about Fargo, consider its reality is a function of its past. Fargo, Grand Forks & Wahpeton, ND are really just Western outposts of Minnesota. And thus the rest is: Oh, North Dakota & South Dakota ought never to have been States in the Union. They had been grouped land-wise with most of Eastern Montana and in honor of the tribes living there, the "Dakota" Sioux, named Dakota. However, Post Civil War Republicans sought more U.S. Senate seat votes as the South slowly was being readmitted to the Union. Thus, divide by 3 and you get, well, "6 Senators." Neither SD or ND would have survived financially without the historically massive subsides provided by the Federal government, a government both, politically, claim to hate, AKA MAGA-ville. And why is the Federal money (gift) forthcoming? It's those senate seats of old. Well, while they claim to "hate it" but only after the checks are delivered by the U.S. Gov't's USPS. [But here note: the checks go to the few, not the many. To get the federal check you must "own or control the land." If you do not you get trickle-down]. Most all of SD's & ND's economic activity happens within 75 miles of the Minnesota borders. All of their small towns died economically by the 1960's, when most of WWII's cash-flow had been spent. Even its regional towns/cities of 8,000 or less are passing rapidly into history. It is Abe Lincoln and his Homestead Act of 1862 that's to blame. Dry land Farming West of the 98th can be sustained only with masses subsides. [The 98th is 50-miles West of Fargo]. Think the dust-bowel and FDR and the 1930's. The USDA told Lincoln in 1861 not to do it, but Lincoln was a Northern Whig, i.e., today they'd be called "Socialists." He believed in using the government to build the nation's infrastructure - remember the railroads being built West into a wilderness? Completed in 1869 and totally broke by 1875. Well, thank you Mr. Lincoln. America even today has not come to fully to accept that 2/3's of the nation is a dry or semi-dry desert or high plains desert. Slice down from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada to Dallas, Texas and you have basically tracked the 98th. West of that line to the Pacific Ocean it is, well, dry - very dry. All the dams and canals build by the U.S. Government were done to make a desert bloom and the senate seat votes (re-read the above) delivered the cash. Oh, Lincoln would have loved it. What I find most interesting about the area West of the 98th is the people their think their world was built by "Individual enterprise & effort." It was not. Life there was and is but a function of Washington D.C. policy or politics. Remember the rule: if you break it you own it. The USA Gov't. broke the Great Plains (once know as the Great American Desert - here think Oregon Trail and wagon trains) & the tribes and, YES, Now She Owns it and it is costly.

Love ND/MN and yeah Fargo, my dads fam are from the area, nicest ppl ever ever. Was in Fargo 4 weeks ago, on my way back home to Europe, can't believe I'm still in Europe.

Love this. Looking to move to Fargo very soon with my company!

I tried to ask this question by sending it to the email address listed above, but it bounced back as "undeliverable". As such, I'm going to try asking it here in the comments: My son and I are considering moving to Fargo (among other places) and I have a very important question that doesn't appear to be addressed by any of the videos I've seen. My son suffers from asthma and pollen allergies and is prone to chronic sinus infections. We currently live in central PA along the Susquehanna River - which is notorious for its bad air quality for people with asthma/allergies. This is the primary reason why we are looking to relocate. We were in Fargo briefly a few years ago when taking a midwest road trip in the Summer of 2022 and we fell in love with much of it. However - how is the area for people who suffer from seasonal allergies and asthmatics? I figure that with the long winters, that means a shorter "hay fever season", but once spring does bloom along the prairie there, how bad is the pollen count and how do people who suffer from hay fever usually fare? Also, how is the air quality in general for asthmatics? When we were the a few years ago, much of the midwest was suffering from smoke in the atmosphere from the huge wildfires that were raging along the west coast that summer - so we didn't take that as indicative of what a normal summer would be like in those areas. Barring things like wild fires, etc, how is the air quality for asthmatics in Fargo? Any insight you could provide would be appreciated. Thanks.

Yeah thanks Sandford

I’m moving 2025

Are wages in North Dakota higher or lower than the US average?

Fargo sucks, move somewhere else.

So I plan on moving in 97 days, what kind of jobs are there?

Thinking about moving here after fellowship. Will visit the hospital from NY in a few weeks... My only concern is the landscape. Are there many lakes around? I'm accustomed to the hills in Northern Ca, biking, trails, water, Ocean... looks very flat. Also, I left Ca just before Covid and I recall the smoke being unbearable. Is it smoky there in the Summer?

look how close those houses are, you have no privacy or yards even.also this is a giant advertising video for his company XD

Born in ND, spent my Uni days in Fargo which was a step up from Minot but 👎🏼 for my adult years no reason to stay. Youth isn’t tolerated well, then when visiting as an adult no respect from so called adults a generation above mine rude AF and I live in the Bronx now but the rudeness was something I had forgotten. If you do run in to friendly people they’re probably from Minnesota. I haven’t been gone that long but there’s nothing I would want to move back for and my friends there agree with me they’re just stuck due to work or fam. If you are of color do not drive after 10pm you will be pulled over by cops trying to make a quota. Twice I was pulled over in the same night: for signaling too soon, and the second my stop at a stop sign was “iffy” as the cop told me in other words hoping I was drinking. I told one I do not drink he responded that wasn’t my question I said how much have you had to drink 🤷🏼‍♂️ when one doesn’t drink they have not had anything. And no I didn’t get arrested nor a ticket which told me each stop was opportunistic

May You make a video about Carington Nd someday?

A lot less chirping smoke detectors up there thats for sure

Fargo or williston?

Hey whats the job situation there ?
