A Unique Town 4 rating By Anonymous ( Apr 26, 2018) Moorhead is a beautiful little city in Minnesota that I feel privileged to live in. The town is all for creating natural beauty and being kind to the environment. There are special programs set up in the city to ensure that citizens, too, catch the eco-friendly bug. You can even ...Read More get spacial tax deductions for building a new home.

The community is kind, and living in Moorhead, it isn't all that hard to find a decent paying career. With my first child due to arrive later this year, having a stable source of income really matters.

The best areas to spend your time in the city are probably our museums. When I first moved here, I didn't realize the rich history of the town. My favorite is the Rourke Art Museum, though I also really love visiting the Comstock House, our very own haunted house that makes me shiver every time I go. Moorhead has it all; fine arts, good food, kind people, and even a few ghosts. Read Less
