10 Reasons Nobody Is Moving To North Dakota in 2023

10 Reasons Nobody Is Moving To North Dakota even though it has affordable real estate. That's right, buying a home in North Dakota is a doable thing but people still choose not to move to North Dakota.

Can you pick out North Dakota on a map with no text? Did you know only 37% of Americans can? What is odd about that is 44% of Canadians can. It’s not even in their country. Look at a United States map, I promise it is a US state.
But, they think it is ok to have potato chips that taste like catchup, so, they are all kinds of screwed up.
Today we are looking at the results of a survey we did where we listed 30 reasons why North Dakota isn’t a good place to live. These 30 reasons were reasons people most often gave when asked why they don’t like living in North Dakota.

Do you need a local Realtor for the area you want to move to?

North Dakotans are more than happy about the criticism. It keeps people out. Seriously.

[GeluNumber]

Quick correction: Sioux Falls is in South Dakota, not North Dakota.

I moved here from Houston a couple of years ago. Best decision I have ever made. People are so friendly and that is what I love most about North Dakota.

As someone who has lived here for all of my 63 years all I can say is like many things in life you make the best out of your situation. I grew up on a small farm then went to a 2 year trade school and worked 2 jobs for my entire career of 40+ years. Traveled to and from work just about 1.5 hours each way for nearly 28 years. Yeah I had to go out of the way to find a wife, a beautiful Hispanic gal. Married 22+ years now. I have no plans on moving even though like you said winters can be long and cold. Just have to have some hobbies and a good shop to go work in. I would have a hard time living anywhere else. I HATE the big cities.

I was raised in North Dakota, and the stuff listed is what we called “normal, ” though I don’t remember any notable bugs. After college I was commissioned in the Marine Corps and left - that’s when I saw real bugs. Anyway, this could have been titled “10 Things That Keep the Riffraff Outta Nord Dakota.”

[davidhanson]

Thanks for the hit piece. Anything to keep others out is a plus. We need more people like you.

As a North Dakotan, the reason Canadians are so familiar with us is because we are right across the border. So every holiday they get (they have TONS of holidays in Canada) they hop across the border to shop and eat. I always knew when it was a Canadian holiday when I worked at Texas Roadhouse, because the place would be packed full of Canadians.

Have you heard the story about the first settlers in North Dakota? They were coming through and it got really cold and windy. The leader of the group told everyone when it warms up and the wind quits blowing that they would keep going. Well needless to say they never left!! 😂😂😂

I literally just bicycled home from work from Fargo, North Dakota, across the Red River of the North to my home in Moorhead, Minnesota. 20 minute bike ride. 1 in the morning, about 2 degrees Fahrenheit, 15 mph wind. Two scarves, one around my throat, one covering my mouth. Long johns. Two layers of socks. High-quality winter coat. My ski goggles protected my eyes from the cold and freezing wind, but eventually got so fogged up, I had to pull them aside. Just got out of a warm shower and went on-line.
Love love love love love it. Couldn't imagine living anywhere else. maybe Sweden. Or Finland.

A retired Army Col once told be a story about when he was assigned to the ND reserves (or NG, I forget which) a new commanding general was coming in by train during Winter and the Col drove to meet him at the station. The general got off the train (there was the typical ND blizzard going on) and ask if this weather was normal. He said, yes, pretty much. The general got back on the train and was never seen again.

I lived in ND for many years, but I never saw the bugs that this video spoke about. The people of ND are super friendly, family oriented, and, love their state/country very much. One learns to adapt to the cold waters. Summers can be hot, but they are short. The biggest sports event is the class B basketball tournament when it seems that most of the people from all the small towns gather to cheer on their favorite high school basketball team. The hardest thing to get use to is the long distances between cities, especially if one must travel from a small town to better medical facilities in a larger city in ND. There are in my opinion far worst places to live than in North Dakota.

I am a "refugee" from California. I moved here about 12 years ago and have two "anchor children." Ironically, the area of California I moved from is a lot like the area of North Dakota I moved to. Primarily ag and recreation. I love North Dakota because it is very family oriented. And admitedly, mostly inhabited by conservative minded people. I tell people all the time, don't go down the same road as other liberal states. Hold on to the values that make this state great!

[deancwebster]

I've lived in ND for 21 years and compared to the eastern states the summers here are NOT HUMID and with the long days, summers are spectacular.

I live in Virginia and worked in a factory with an older lady from North Dakota. When we had our blizzard of ‘96 she rolled on down to work only to be surprised that the plant had shut down due to the snow! 😂

[truncinesaulsberry]

As a African American Women I love North Dakota been here for years.

[bulsibacininiko]

My wife and I move from Louisiana to North Dakota and we love it. You get used to the weather after a few winters. We live in Grand Forks and love it. The bugs are not bad at all and we love the wild life. Had a deer in our yard about a month ago, rabbits everywhere, squirrels and beautiful birds, were in heaven. Also, love to take the grandkids sledding.

Both my parents are from Grafton ND. 40 below zero and crazy wind. It’s a test of human will.

[kurthedgecock]

I lived in North Dakota for 4 years. I really enjoyed this video. I'm from Texas so the bugs didn't bother me. I really liked the fact they don't have roaches. The summer was wonderful compared to Texas. I really enjoyed living there.

I’m a lifelong North Dakota resident. People don’t realize how varied my state is in climate and geography. Briggs is pretty accurate with a lot of his statements. Winters can be brutally cold and summers can be brutally hot. Despite these conditions I don’t see myself living anywhere else. Most of my friends and family are here. I have built a successful life for myself here as an archaeologist and rancher. I know my life will continue to get better if I remain here and focus on my goals.

I live in Canada near the North Dakota border. We frequently visit the State before COVID. Fargo and Grand Forks are nice, cool small cities. Hospitality is friendly and there are many good cuisine choices. Definitely going back next summer.
