Pretty good video but that damn music in back ground is to loud you can't hear half of what your saying. There are alot of people who have hearing issues hearing over back ground noise thank you.
I lived in Williston for about 7 years let me tell you it blew. Everyone exploits the fact that you work in the oil field yes we were making a good living but good grief the prices at some of these places were outrageous and as far as welcoming depends on where you went and who you knew
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?
Does the K K Korner bar still exist?
Not a safe place for women unfortunately. If you're a young woman or have daughters, think twice before you choose to relocate to Minot. A lot of slumlords too. Plus sex offenders who manage to find a way to stay off the Registered Sex Offenders List. NOT something to be proud of, ehhhhhhh?
Looks like a wasteland with crackheads
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.
I have lived in fargo my whole life and I don’t know anyone who likes fargo this much
Looks like a great city at first: VERY low crime rate, lower than average housing prices, average income, low unemployment rate, not too big yet not to small... The statistics look fantastic, but is life there as good as it looks on paper?
Winters can be brutally cold and long. Wealthier residents often have a second home or rent one in Arizona during this time.
@@LivinginNorthDakota Well, weather is relative. Some people can't stand heat and others can't stand cold. Is there something else?
@@DioTheGreatOne I'm thinking I should do video titled "10 Reasons Minot, ND SUCKS!"
Dude...your editing jerks are too distracting for enjoyable viewing...
No one in there right mind lives in dickinson.
Many people really enjoy what Dickinson and other parts of the state have to offer… but not all areas are right for everyone! Some people prefer living on the beach in Southern California or fishing in the Pacific Northwest or the warm dry desert of Phoenix. I’ll be doing another series of videos soon called “10 Reasons You’ll HATE xxx City”
Williston sucks, sorry im partial city kid and a man of color, it needs a Main Event or Dave & Busters.
Both of these are great! Typically however these kinds of businesses need a population base of 200-500k people. Williston sits just above 30k people. Williston will need to grow 7x over before we will see anything on this scale.
red lobster is closed
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.
Glad you got to visit! Where in Europe do you call home?
@@LivinginNorthDakota I'm 50/50 Swedish/Norwegian, live in Norway, my parents ND/MN and NJ/NYC.
Whatever you do, don't get fooled into working for Simplot. That place is a freaking joke. Same thing with Philadelphia Macaroni Co.
Is there an international airport "in" Fargo? Thank you. I enjoyed this video; it's very informative. Thank you🙏
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.
Love these kinds of stories. THIS is why people move to North Dakota. It’s not the weather!!
19:50 don’t go down this downhill on a scooter or bike without very good brakes had to get a root canal because of it
This guy is trying sell something so he can make money.
Hi Nancy! What do you do to make money? Our team helps people find/purchase (or sell) primarily residential homes. And yes - as a small business we do charge for our professional services just like anyone else would charge their employer for their time (paycheck) or a store selling goods. We hope this video helped you learn more about Grand Forks. There are also videos that show a bit about Fargo, Bismarck, Dickinson, Watford City, Willison & Minot. If you're planning to move to (or from ) any of these areas - reach out to us if you need a Realtor to assist you with the purchase or sale of a home!
lol you didn't tell them about what the temps can get down here in winter.
Figured that goes without saying... Cold winters in North Dakota shouldn't come as a surprise! Two words for anyone thinking about moving to North Dakota... REMOTE START. Being able to start and warm up the car from the house in winter is wonderful.
Love this video, We are considering a transfer here. Are there any updates that can be made to this video? Do you know anything about the Homeschooling community?
Reach out to us to talk! usemotion.com/meet/david-vanassche/meeting
Love your videos, we are currently looking at a couple of places in Langdon.
Great! If you don't already have a Realtor helping you, reach out to us. usemotion.com/meet/david-vanassche/meeting
if you move to North Dakota, you might as well be a dead fish at the bottom of the Missouri River.
North Dakota isn't for the weak! If you know anyone wanting to leave, we have buyers looking in every part of the state. We can help you (or your friends/family) sell their home!
There is a reason why less than 800,000 people live in ND. The winters are far to brutal..
Minnesota has 5.7 million and is right there with North Dakota temps. The state is actually growing and has a ton of opportunities for many people.
i was born here its fucking boring
If you’d like help selling your home and moving away - reach out to us.
North Dakota Bismarck y Mandan 2 ciudades contaminadas la gente lo que hace es trabajar y meterse droga por que no tienen donde despejar la mente Todas las semanas muchos jóvenes presos por tener porcentajes de alcohol altos y a los verdaderos criminales los paroles no le hacen ni sus revisiones como son! Fui víctima de este estado y mi experiencia en 8 años No fue la mejor Por el racismo y la discriminación hacia el latino o cual quier idioma que sea ESPAÑOL, en todos lados que hablas español te miran raro o mal La Gente me a llegado a decir move I don’t know were you come from! Like that is idiot I don't know where you're from either 😂, pero esa son las cosas que pasan en ND cuando eres latino y si escribí español pa que traduzcan ya q yo no necesito traducir!
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.
Dickinson sucks. All of the oilfield companies here are backstabbing, lying cheating asshole companies. I have story for days from the shit hole companies here.
Rent $600-$700 rent in Minot, ND.
where?
Winters too brutal, I recommend Rapid City if you wanna move to a Dakota
Rapid City is awesome!
I’m from Dickinson, it’s not the same place as it used to be. With all the people moving here there’s no sense of community anymore. You can literally feel the tension between races. It’s not a good thing. It’s bringing in a lot of crime, drugs and just ruining our once great town. It’s all about greed and money. Disappointed but not surprised. I said what I said 🗣️
It’s going down hill fast, crime is getting bad and housing is outrageous. I moved here in 2020, back then you could go to Walmart leave your car running unlocked and not even think twice about it. Not anymore! The schools are horrible, roads are in shambles. We have horrible leadership. Diversity is ruining this town. The darker it gets the worse crime gets. Drugs are flooding into town. I’m just about over it! I moved here to get away from this crap. Time to packed it up and go!
It never was the place ot used to be. The people that grew up here don't like people moving in. They are all close minded assholes that the only thing they know are rotting teeth, chewing tobacco, trucks, farms and killing shit. Most people that live here that are natives have never seen the outside of their own four walls of their house
I live here in Dickinson!!! Best city ever
Dickinson fucking sucks. Most backstabbing, corrupt assholes especially work wise I have ever met. Dickinson sucks. You probably fit right in then if you think it's great
FYI this guys a realtor. Try to view this how you view Chinese controlled media but grand forks style. Propaganda - someone who enjoys grand forks as a college town
Every place in America has pros and cons! What are the top 5 pros and cons you see for Grand Forks? I’ll make a video about it.
@@LivinginNorthDakota You forgot to show the city's crown jewel; the large Masonic Lodge by the courthouse and across the street from the police station.That's a huge con considering what they stand for!
You forgot to mention that some of the communities you have shown us have HOA's, and a lot of the boom construction has relatively poor quality compared to older homes. The house I bought was built in 1952 and is solid as a rock. Williston is a great place to live, really hard to find anything better.
HOAs tend to keep property values higher for the long run by fording owners to maintain their properties to a certain minimum level. Unless it’s a super high end custom home - nearly all new construction in America is governed by HOAs.
Just bought our house in williston will be here til hubby retires
I sold everything in California and moved to Williston nd one of the best choices I made in my life I moved with the whole family 💕 everybody's pretty friendly not that much stuff to do just fish hunt or go to the shooting range healthcare and education aren't the best but still okay only bad part is the winter ☃️☃️☃️☃️ pretty extreme weather weather gets to the negative numbers
Very interesting, informative, and beautiful video. Keep going.
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.
North Dakota is full go home. Williston is trash.
Williston has a saying… it sucks so bad that every time you try to leave - it sucks you back in. Many people have a love hate relationship with Williston!
North Dakota is horrible. Keep in mind, that the guy making this video, is a salesperson trying to make money off you.
It’s amazing how drastically different the comments here are about loving or hating Nodak. Anyone who hates it - we have clients who want to buy your home. Reach out to us so we can help you leave. Many other people love what you don’t want.
@@LivinginNorthDakotaLived here my whole life. We love our hometown.
I find it so cool to see a place that not everyone knows about and I’m very familiar with on my for you page
Originally from Colorado. Born and raised moved to Vegas when I was 17. Lived in the dust bowl for 8 years. My step father and my mom got stationed here in Minot. Thinking why would I ever wanna move to North Dakota. My wife and I came and visited them in the dead of winter. Long story short. My entire family now lives in Minot ND as we are going into our second year of residency. I am proud to call this place home. There’s nowhere else I’ve been that’s like it here. The people are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. The weather is beautiful (yes even winter) fishing hunting outdoors. What more could anyone ask for! 👌
Love this. Don’t hesitate to call or text us if youre thinking you want to buy a home here (or maybe you did already?). Our team is here to help.
should have shown Altru hospital
Born and Raised in Bismarck love the video man you forgot hillside n double ditch tho haha all good check it out
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
Fargo is the fastest growing area of North Dakota... but it's not for everyone. If you're looking to leave - we can help you sell your home in Fargo AND find you an agent in whatever area you want to move to. Reach out to us.
I’ve lived in ND 41 years what he doesn’t show is the winter time, bring extra clothes, but small town’s friendly people, great schools, used to be inexpensive cost of living
Home of Economy is a great place to stock up on winter work gear. I tend to wear underarmor winter pants and shirts as a base layer most all winter.
Small town, friendly people? ONLY if you are part of the gossiping, elitist group that has family roots here since the 1800's. "Outsiders" will not be welcomed. There are WAY more men here because of the oil, so rig pigs are assaulting women at high rates. Meth, violent crime, and prostitution is rampant.....thanks oil field!
Hey, I live here
Awesome! Reach out to us if you, your friends, family or colleagues are looking to move. We've got a team that can help!
So your plan is to funnel in as much people as possible? Thanks for ruining what used to be paradise.
Moved here from jamaica, going to a university nearby. Leaving soon nothing much going on tbh.
Move to minot, Bismark, or Fargo.
I live in Fargo, visit Bismarck often, commute thru Minot, I’d rather live in Watford
Lived in Minot the past 12 years, and I'll give you fair warning. The school system sucks and so does Trinity Hospital. We drive Bismarck to go to Sanford (for everything).
Medical care is especially stretched in rural America. Doctors and nurses who are in demand in bigger cities tend to move toward those areas over Minot, Williston and Dickinson. I think most would agree that if you need specialist care on a regular basis you’re better off living in Bismarck or Fargo. I mentioned this extensively in the tour of Williston video.
@@rahrens9689 "the school system sucks". Well you get what you pay for. Our overwhelming conservative legislators consistently cut education funding from the budget. They also consistently refuse to raise pay rates for teachers causing competent, motivated teaching talent to seek better wages elsewhere.
I agree I think only conservatives would enjoy living in North Dakota.
Hush we dont exist
🤣
Here folks, is an example of the Unwelcomeing you will get here, from the family groups that have been here since the 1800's.
@@riviclaye615most of the locals left during the oil boom, late 2000s. Sold their houses for $300,000+ and started new lives elsewhere.
@@riviclaye615 Nope I actually just moved in this 2024 march from a 3rd world country. It's a really nice place with nice people so it sucked to hear that crime rates shot up when the oil boom happened. It was nice to see children playing outside so it would suck if crime rates shot up because of bad people moving in.
@@cityleaguechronicles2523 I have a hard time believing "most", but here on the western side of the state, the only people moving in are methheads, and a lot of the locals stay, after marrying their 3rd cousin.
