North Dakota is truly the state of wide open spaces and
wildlife. With a small population base, North Dakota real estate
is extremely affordable.
North Dakota
Made famous, or perhaps infamous, by the Fargo movie, North
Dakota is the state for you if you're looking to get away from
everything. The state seems to have far more animals than
humans, which has also lead to the lowest crime rate of any
state in the country. While the state is irrefutably cold during
the winter, it can be very nice during the rest of the year.
During said period, outdoor activities are plentiful,
particularly considering large sections of the state have been
designate refuges for such animals as the bison and the big horn
sheep. Admittedly, North Dakota is not for everyone, but it is
hardly the end of the world as some portray it.
Fargo
What? You were expecting me to start with another town? Made
famous in the movie carrying its name, Fargo is a sleepy, little
town. A comfortable downtown area is surrounded by neighborhoods
populated with friendly people. The pace of life is definitely
of the laid back variety. You will not find the rat race or rush
hour traffic here. On the other hand, you can raise your family
without the risks of bigger cities.
Grand Forks
Home to the University of North Dakota, Grand Forks is a quaint
little town with a definite new feel. The town was devastated
during a freak flood in 1997, but has seen significant
redevelopment efforts reinvigorate it. The town has tree-lined
streets and neighborhoods of white picket fenced homes.
Unfortunately, the economy is rumored to be less than stellar,
so make sure you investigate before relocating.
North Dakota Real Estate
North Dakota Real Estate is very inexpensive. A single-family
home is going to run you between $130,000 and $200,000 depending
on the location. With cold winters and such low prices, it is a
surprise that North Dakota real estate appreciated at a hearty
nine percent in 2005.
