A Unique Town User Rating 4 rating By Anonymous ( Apr 26, 2018) Moorhead is a beautiful little city in Minnesota that I feel privileged to live in.

The community is kind, and living in Moorhead, it isn't all that hard to find a decent paying career. With my first child due to arrive later this year, having a stable source of income really matters.

Moorhead has it all; fine arts, good food, kind people, and even a few ghosts. Read Less
