Bismarck-Mandan North Dakota
The Bismarck-Mandan community combines the best of rural and urban living. Bismarck-Mandan is home to over 94,000 people, with 55,532 in Bismarck, and 16,718 residents in Mandan. These two communities are so close to one another that they are really considered one community.

If you live here, you already know that new residents are in for a treat! With so much to see and do, the term “bored” will never pass your lips! Why not come and relive 1875 at Fort Abraham Lincoln, where history comes to life? Visit the home of General George and Libbie Custer at Cavalry Square, and hear how they lived.

The hill above Fort Abraham Lincoln provides great views of the Missouri Valley with blockhouses standing guard over the fort. The On-a-Slant Indian Village has replicas of rebuilt Mandan earth lodges on the site of an ancient village. Visit the Museum that houses the nation’s best display on the Mandan Indians, exhibits on Lewis & Clark and General Custer artifacts.

Cruise the fabulous Missouri River aboard the Lewis and Clark, a 150-passenger riverboat. This all-weather paddle wheeler docks at the Port of Bismarck, North River Road, Excursion cruises, dinner cruises, moonlight cruises, pizza cruises, and family cruises are all available for your enjoyment. If you prefer to be in the water, rather than on it, look no further than the Super Slide Amusement Park, which provides quality family entertainment with a 150 ft. super slide, Ferris wheel, go carts, bumper cars, mini golf, batting cage, and more.

Just as Lewis and Clark explored the Bismarck-Mandan region 200 years ago, today explorers search for new experiences in the Missouri River Valley and the adjacent prairies, wetlands, and woods. Although the Missouri River System is renowned for its walleye fishery, 19 of North Dakota's 23 game fish species are found in the Missouri. Some of the best natural areas of the relatively unaltered habitat left on the Missouri River System are just upstream and downstream from Bismarck-Mandan. This habitat is home to abundant upland and big game. Pheasant, grouse, Hungarian partridge, dove, white-tailed deer, and many other non-game species of birds and animals are available for picture taking, observing and hunting.

With all these activities, homes are the cherry on the top. Instead of the steep prices one would expect for an area so rich in history, and in such a central location, homes instead are extremely reasonably priced. With an outlay of $100,000 one can buy a beautiful 1,800 square foot, three bedroom home; for just $120,000 one can purchase a four bedroom home.

With so much natural beauty, with lovely homes, and seasonal changes, Mandan has so much to offer new and established residents alike. Why not drop in and stay awhile? You’ll find yourself a lifelong resident before you know it!
