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! 👌

Agree with your comment about "most" retailers are in Minot. I wish we had a Cosco or a Sam's Club. There are several grocery options too, other than Target. You drove by the recently closed Trinity downtown hospital. They have moved out to the south side of town to a beautiful new campus. Also, we have a great YMCA. Most folks that move here love the outdoor opportunities, including great hunting and fishing. The school system is great. The school system is less likely to indoctrinate your children with woke ideology.
the baseball field is called Corbet field was home to a pro baseball team called the Mallards. Decades ago people used to be able to drive through Roosevelt park. I was born in Minot but live in east coast canada
It’s a great community. Winter does suck though! Do you need help finding a home to purchase before you arrive? We work with Active Service and Veteran clients all the time who take advantage of their VA mortgage benefits. Grab a time to chat on my calendar: calendly.com/david-vanassche-calendar/home-purchase-meeting
You know, you hear a lot of bitching about being sent here but many have chosen to retire here at the end of their AF career. I would rather live here than near Davis-Monthan, Luke or the bases in New Mexico and Texas. Second choice would be Spokane but all of those are way too congested and expensive for my taste. Everything I need (stress NEED) is right here or within a few hours drive. It's easier to drive half way across the state in three hours than it is to cross metro Phoenix in the same amount of time. Less stressful too.
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’m a propane delivery driver from Memphis, Tennessee. Considering moving up to Minot to work for the oil company for significantly more money. Is there many options for renting a house? Seems like a decent place to move, especially for a career changing opportunity. My mom worries about me being isolated. Would love to get some feedback
It’s honestly easier to buy a home for most people. The state of North Dakota backs the local lenders with a 1/2 % down loan program making it very easy for anyone with living wage (or above) employment to buy a home here. Call/text us to discuss this option. 701-253-1872.
It's true! Nothing too "special" but when you're moving to a new city (or state) it's nice to know what's there. If you're moving to North Dakota (or Minot) and looking for help buying a home, Call/Text: 701-253-1872 or if you'd like to start with a mortgage loan application (if you need one) - go here: mtgpro.co/dr/c/81i1t
What’s stopping you? Most of our clients that find us on TH-cam are moving to North Dakota from other states (or Canada). If we can help you with your home search/purchase - our team is waiting for your call.
hi, i just moved here and have a quick question. I noticed that a lot of vehicles are very rusted on the bottom... what do i do to prevent that from happening to my car? someone said to paint the bottom of the car, doesn't sound right.
Wash it regularly! Find a car wash near you that’s open and make sure it has an undercarriage wash to clean off the road salt and sand they spread in winter. And if you’re renting now and decide you’d like to buy a home reach out to us so we can help!
Hi Gary - Are you in Fountain Hills AZ? In short - it’s a lot better than the Phoenix metro right now.

@@LivinginNorthDakota I thought only the finest went there! 😎 Liked your Williston video in particular. My wife might contact you later. Try to make more videos in the Bakken area if you can (Tioga, etc.). With a Republican administration, things might change, right? God bless… 🙏🏻 Carry on the good work. & you might include lots/land/farmland in your videos, to make them more comprehensive ones, ND-wise. Take care.
You might in your Republican thinking ask why and how the Bank of North Dakota came to be and why ND has so many Socialist Institutions. Or read about the Non-partisan League. Oh, and this: without the cash-flow from the Federal government ND would be a failed state. ND Is nothing but a Welfare Queen. Republican Queens. Sorry @@issenvan1050 ND Republicans are not what they say and think they are. ND is a financial JOKE
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?
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.
From Google: Minot came into existence in 1886, after the Great Northern Railway laid track through the area. A tent town sprang up overnight, as if by "magic", giving Minot its first nickname, the Magic City; in the next five months, the population increased to over 5,000, further bolstering the nickname.
@@brianedwardson8551 Moved to Minot Three weeks ago and I can say it been the best decision I ever made everyone is so friendly and helpful and some one like me who loves the cold the winter has been perfect for me, plus Minot is alot cheaper then 99% of City living in my experience. And I came from the deep south.

Winters can be brutally cold and long. Wealthier residents often have a second home or rent one in Arizona during this time.
