Benefits of Living in North Dakota

When you leave New York and move to a new home in North Dakota, you’ll soon realize you’re in a foreign environment that bears no resemblance to your prior residence. North Dakota is sparsely populated, and its few cities are several miles apart from each other. Metropolitan areas are nonexistent in North Dakota, and the largest city teeters above 100,000 residents, but you won’t have to worry about heavy crime, loud traffic or high taxes. In recent years, the state has experienced a surge of people flocking to work in the natural gas and oil industries, and it has become famous for low unemployment. You can examine all the benefits that await you in the Peace Garden State in the following passages.

In North Dakota

Open Landscape Abounds

Because of tall buildings, light pollution, and towering tree lines, some cities are not ideal for viewing the sky or stars. Even in North Dakota’s cities, you get a sense that everything around you is larger than life, and the sky looks breathtaking. It might take you some time to get used to the open landscape, but you’ll quickly realize that you made the right choice to move to North Dakota.

You'll Find

Lower Costs and Safe Cities

Although New York’s smaller towns and rural areas experience lower crime rates than the metropolitan areas, New York’s state crime levels are much higher than those in North Dakota. ND cities and towns are some of the safest in the country, and they’re also much cheaper. If you’re used to paying a bundle for a small apartment or cramped house, you’ll be thrilled that you can buy a larger property at a reasonable price.

The money you spent on transportation, housing, groceries and taxes in New York will go much further in North Dakota. North Dakota ranks well below the national average for living costs, and many residents from other high tax states are making the same decision as you.

Prepare for a Cold Winter

It can get chilly in New York, but its coldest days don’t compare to the frigid winter in North Dakota. The state has not reached -60°F since 1936, but its winters consistently produce sub-zero temperatures. If your cold-weather gear is lacking, you should increase your supplies before you experience January in the chilly state. The temperature fluctuates wildly in the summer, but the state reached its highest reading of 121°F the same year (1936) it reached the lowest.

Ice Anglers Are Welcome

The frozen winter landscape provides a sturdy foundation for skating, hockey, sledding and ice fishing. There are a few states in the continental US with ice fishing, but North Dakota’s landscape is made for it. Drilling into the ice and dropping a line is much different from the type of angling you’re used to in New York, but it’s a unique activity that often yields delicious fish. You can catch Bluegill, Yellow Perch, White Bass and Walleye, and you won’t have trouble finding ice to cool them down.

The Art of the West

Are you fond of art and natural history? North Dakota has several museums and galleries exhibiting photography, Native American artifacts, sculptors, paintings and dinosaur skeletons.

Jobs Are Booming

Agriculture remains North Dakota’s most prominent industry with over 90% of the state’s land devoted to farming. It produces more pinto and navy beans than any other state, and it’s also known for canola, flaxseed and honey. In the last twenty years, the state has expanded its oil, gas and mining operations to become competitive with other oil and mineral-rich regions.

The surge in its energy sector has created new boomtowns and opened up more opportunities for engineers, laborers and skilled technicians. If you’re searching for a new profession in your new town, you shouldn’t have too much trouble, thanks to the healthy job market.

A Beekeeper’s Paradise

North Dakota is the country’s top honey producer, and the land is ideal for amateur beekeepers to set up shop. After the winter thaw, the state’s land becomes a haven for pollinating plants and healthy bees. Stop by a local stand selling honey, and you’ll discover how fresh honey should taste.

The Land That Toughened Teddy

Teddy Roosevelt took a trip to the badlands of North Dakota to escape the stress of the East, and when he returned home, he was a Rough Rider. The isolated, rugged Badlands that the 26^th president hiked through now bears the name Theodore Roosevelt National Park. The extreme temperatures, rough terrain and sparse water sources are challenging for hikers and tourists, but the park continues to be a popular attraction. If you plan a visit, be sure to pack emergency supplies and plenty of water.

Enjoy

Hiking and Biking Adventures

North Dakota has several state and national parks for hiking, rafting, and mountain biking for outdoor enthusiasts. In addition to Theodore Roosevelt National Park, you can travel to Mandan to hit the trails on horseback in Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park, take a canoe in Lake Metigoshe State Park or ride a bike through the west’s largest grassland area at Little Missouri National Grasslands. Unlike other states, North Dakota permits you to ride horses on many of its trails.

Transitioning to the North Dakota way of life may take a little while, but you can rely on White Glove Moving to protect your valuable property on the way to your new home.
