My family is moving to Bismarck at the end of the month. I have never been and have been trying to do some research on the area of our new apartment. I think its considered downtown Boismarck near the kirkwood mall. Is itdangerous thereor any other part of Bismarck. What are your likes and dislikes of the city? Is the bus system reliable?
There aren't any real "hoods" in Bismarck, although some of the areas around the mall are a little rough; welfare blocks/apts, thug wannabes walking around, some less than desirable trailer parks, etc...
Depending on where you are moving from, it may be unlikely that you will perceive any parts of Bis as dangerous. I would go anywhere, any time of day, but of course, use common sense. The crime is nothing like in a big city. It's all relative though, so maybe let us know where you're moving from and we can provide some stats on crime comparisons.
Already planning to actually... probably have to wait 90 days though to be a resident.
