Cost of living is very affordable, winters are too cold, if I could change one thing it would be the amount of road work in the summers, every summer it seems like no matter which road I go down it will be detoured because of road crews trying to patch holes from winter. Downtown is nice and is a very artsy place if you like that sort of thing. The restaurants around town are very good as well, some of my favorite things in Fargo are the west acres mall and Marcus theaters. Gas prices could be worse so not much to complain about there, and to kill time I always find myself roaming the aisles of Mills fleet farm or the local Menards as there is always something new to me there. The town is a very dog friendly town and I feel very comfortable taking my pooch on a daily walk around my nice neighborhood. Since living here my family hasn’t been the victims of any property crime or violence and the schools are very student orientated. Should you visit Fargo? I think so, But bring a jacket!
Fargo is a very underwhelming place, however there are enough things to keep you busy. These things consist of shoveling more than a foot of snow out of your driveway so you can get to school or work in the morning. If your biceps don't have a good pump by then, you can exhaust them more by shoveling your car out of a snowbank so you're not too late to your destination. In all seriousness there is a really nice downtown in North Fargo and many improvements in the Fargo Parks. South Fargo continues to develop with more home expansion, however housing continues to be unaffordable to the regular working class. Many white and conservative influenced places are safe, however the most diverse and poverty-stuck areas have less than acceptable crime rates. Public schools in both the Fargo and West Fargo district are very populated, as new staff has to get taken on every year to keep up with the growing students, while also creating much more teaching opportunities.
Fargo is full of friendly people, has many entertainment options, and so many restaurants! Fargo is a great city for people of all ages - families, college students, young adults and older adults.
