Real. Good. People
You won’t find better people than the ones who call northeast North Dakota home. We’re a mix of professionals, skilled workers, first generation immigrants, and multi-generational farm families and everything in between.
We value our small-town lifestyle where there is a willingness to help others and deep community pride. Whether it’s lending a helping hand, keeping an eye out for each other’s kids or a quick hello at the grocery store or a wave as we meet on the road, the spirit of connection and support defines our tight-knit communities.
“Being from Minneapolis, MN, I have loved transitioning to small-town life. Rural living is safe, peaceful and everyone has your back when you really need them. You can see all of the stars in the wide-open night sky, and you can’t beat the outdoor recreation. I love the beautiful fall colors in the Pembina Gorge and ice fishing in the wintertime!”
