Hi my husband just got offered a job in Fargo and we will be moving there in June I was wondering if anyone could tell me about good areas to livewith good schools and if there are any summer activities for kids and that type of stuff.
All of the Fargo Schools are quite good, but some elementary school attendance areas are perceived as beeing somewhat better than others--probably due to socioeconomic factors (Longfellow on the north side of town, Clara Barton/Hawthorne in the historic central area, and the Lincoln, Bennett, and Kennedy elementary schools as you go farther south and into the new developments). The Fargo Public Library always has a summer reading program w/ special events and reading incentives for kids. The Fargo Park District has a full listing sports and rec programs, as well as special events in the larger parks. The Red River Zoo also typically has a full summer schedule of programs and activities.
The Fargo YMCA fmymca also has summer day camps I have sent my son the past two summers and he has had a good time. He also plays baseball with the Fargo park district. I also sent you a direct message.
I really like the South Fargo area around 32nd Ave. They have nice parks and there are some really nice schools around where we live. I also like the Osgood area as well as Eagle run which I think is is part of West Fargo? The North Area is alittle more closer built together than I like, but there is a section (I can't recall its specific name) that is Very Nice. excellent looking homes etc. I just prefer the southern area of Fargo personally. I would however avoid the Green Fields as far as housing. built way too close together with a vary narrow street.
As for activities there appear to be a variety of things, I think checking some of the community websites will provide more info. Right now we usually travel a bit with our daughters and the youngest hasn't needed much activities for her at her age, but there are things to do for sure.

I too moved out here from the Utah area nine months ago. I agree with others the South side of town is a good place to find good public elementary schools with housing in a area that will have good re-sell value. I personally hope to only be here for another 3 years and than will high tail it out of here. The Weather in N.D. is like a lady with P.M.S. you never know whether it is winter,spring or fall from one day to the next. Good luck!

The weather can be a little crazy at times, but in general, when its supposed to be hot, it usually is, when its not, it isn't.
