Based on what I hear about in what's going on in Williston acccording to my cousin, the best town to comfortably live in would be the one farthest from the oil fields. I guess the best town is Fairmount.
Based on towns I've visited, the nicest larger town would be Bismarck.

I like Fargo, but I don't like where it is.  The Red River Valley is geographically about as boring as it gets.
What does Grand Forks have to offer other than the university and insanely cold winters.
I had fun working in Minot, Williston, and Dickinson 30+ years ago, but I was young and didn't need much to be satisfied back then. With the oil boom going on I wouldn't move there... yet.
If I had to live in ND, I would check out Bismarck.
The rest of the towns are too small for me. |

I like Fargo...but always appreciate Grand Forks more when I come home from a visit to Fargo. Fargo is getting too big city for me, traffic is terrible. Grand Forks is just right. We have everything here, and still have a slower pace, almost small town feel. We don;t have mountains but I think for scenery you can't beat the northern most portions of North Dakota, at least on the eastern half. But, for me there is something so serene driving the rural roads especially late summer, the fields of sunflowers and grains are very soothing aesthetically to me. Likewise the Badlands in the western half are so beautiful, nothing like it anywhere.

I moved to ND in 2010. I travel to all corners of the state regularly; no doubt that of all the cities I've been to, Bismarck is the best in the state. If I could live in the country or a small town, I would head out of the Bismarck area, maybe Bottineau, but as for a city, Bismarck hands down.
