Dog-friendly places in Bismarck?
Alright, I'm retired and Median household income is $77,608, which feels about average for the area. Am I overthinking this?

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a project manager who relocated here from Nashville about 10 years ago. The main reasons were weather and cost of living.
Pros I've experienced:
- Good schools in most areas
- Good healthcare facilities
- Diverse dining options
Cons that are real:
- Winters are long and cold
- Homeless population growing downtown
Financially, we've found it hit or miss compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are reasonable, gas is decent.
Socially, I have mixed feelings honestly. Feel free to reach out with questions..

Weather-wise, the summers are average and winters are manageable. You get used to it after the first year.
