Grand Forks is growing and is the place to be!!!!! -
6/13/2008I absolutely love Grand Forks. I attended UND for several years, and decided to stay here with my husband professionally. We both love our jobs and are really enjoying all that Grand Forks has to offer. If you love hockey - Division I - this is the place to be as well! The university has wonderful sporting events as well as the high schools and middle schools. Education is the best too!!! The schools are at the top of the charts.
The crime rate is low. It's a great place to raise kids. Just recently Grand Forks has a beautiful greenway that has about 26 miles long of bike/running paths going in and out of ND and MN. We also have entertainment centers such as the Ralph Engelstad Arena, the Alerus, CanadInn Splash Park, two outdoor swimming pools, two splash parks outdoor, and great parks.
The summers are hot, the falls are mild, winters are cold, and the springtime is wet and rainy/sunny. We LOVE THE SNOW, so the outdoor activities here and in Minnesota are easy to commute to.

BEST EDUCATION FOR KIDS -
6/13/2008I am very fond of the Grand Forks educational opportunities that my children have received!!! The elementary schools have top-notch teachers, the middle schools are advanced in their technology usages, as well as the two high schools. If your children like to be involved in sports, dance, outdoor life, and LOVE hockey, this would be the place to bring them! There are several things to do and they just opened up the second outdoor swimming pool! (No to mention the one other pool and they have a few splash parks that are outside.)
Great community, summers are ideal, falls are beautiful, winters are cold (they're not as bad as people say they are - just get good gear for it), and the springs are wet and sunny. I am proud to say that I live in this town as a young family.

Apartment Living -
6/13/2008My husband and I have lived in Grand Forks for about 7 years and are very happy here! The apartments that we live in feel like we're in a large city. (High ceilings, open living space, big bathrooms, etc. When you consider just the two of us plus the living quarters, the cost is WONDERFUL per month. We only pay about 550 a month and that's including the parking space that is outside our apartment.
Grand Forks is very good to us.
