Fargo is a great place for families, but there is nothing to do here! As a kid who grew up in a bigger city, Fargo is very boring. It is a flat land, with no activities or attractions. There is wonderful opportunity here, and i definitely see this place growing into more of what I was hopping it would be within the next decade. Personally, I never want to live here again because there isn't much to do here. Most people, not from the midwest, don't even know this place exists. Personally, I'm not a fan of that. Fargo has a small town feel, with bigger city opportunities.
My experience here in Fargo is an amazing one. It’s a good environment for kids and to be honest, it has like everything I’ve ever wanted since I was a kid.
I like Fargo, it appeals to me because it offers high-quality health care, schooling, and entertainment, as well as a revitalized downtown, making it a logical and safe option for relocating a family or a company. However, it is the culture that motivates people to continue. I live in a nice community where people smile, wave, and are always willing to support one another. I also like Fargo because no matter how tempting the day is, I always get to meet people who makes me smile, it’s like I said, “I live in a nice community...”

It's certainly the best place in North Dakota, although that doesn't say much. It's a nice place for families too, although like any city it depends on where you live. Housing costs are going up relative to the quality of the location, so if you're intending to move here I'd double-check the prices compared to other locations. Downtown can be a bit scary for an unadventurous person like me but if you stick to the right streets and go during the day, it's a great place to explore with a variety of local businesses and restaurants. The West Acres Mall is a great place to shop that's taking covid seriously, and the city overall has been taking it seriously too, especially compared to the rest of the state. Overall, Fargo has a great balance of smallish-town feel and big city fun.
