Hi,
My family and I will be moving to Grand Forks from St. Paul this August, I'll be starting work towards my Ph.D. at UND. My wife and I have a toddler and we're planning to buy a house rather than live in campus housing.
While I'm familiar with most commercial areas of Grand Forks and the campus (I grew up near GF), I really don't know much about residential neighborhoods and thought I might solicit information from some of you.
We're looking for a house in a quiet neighborhood, ideally with a lot of families and not a lot of rental housing. We're looking pretty much exclusively at single-family homes as opposed to townhouses, condos, or duplexes. I'd like to be able to walk to class but it's not a big deal.
Any recommendations or tips? We're going up to GF tomorrow morning for my wife's job interview and getting a feel for the city a bit, so if you post information today it would be really helpful for us. Thanks!
