The town has sufficient housing but could use a bit more developments. Jobs are somewhat scarce in the community, however, opportunities are available via commuting. Education and academics are average, but the district is near the Dickinson State University.

Some of the best areas in Dickinson North Dakota surround the West River Community Center. This area has a lot of dining, shopping, and other cultural activities for the family. Other areas that stand out are the Biesiot Activities Center and the Ukrainian Cultural Institute. The weather here is adequate for North Dakota. Summers are nice, and winters aren’t too frigid. Overall, it's a nice area that you can enjoy as an individual or as a family. Read Less
