Downtown Bismarck Home for Rent

Although Downtown Bismarck is the geographical core of North Dakota’s capital, it’s not the only busy commercial center in the city. “In Bismarck, it’s not hard to get anywhere,” says Ann Andre, a broker associate at eXp Realty who’s sold homes all over the city. “It’s not like living in a bigger metropolitan area where you live in a specific area and shop in the specific area.” And yet, downtown still asserts itself as a retail epicenter. People living in any part of the city can reach its restaurants, boutique shops and event venues in less than 15 minutes. Even locals from Mandan, the next big city across the Missouri River, drive no more than 20 minutes to explore the neighborhood and attend annual events. Pedestrian-friendly streets and a major highway are near homes, popular parks and Kirkwood Mall, another regional shopping destination. Residential areas are mostly around the edges of the neighborhood. The community primarily has apartments, condominiums from the late 1900s and single-family homes from the early 1900s. Bungalows, American Foursquares and ranch-style homes have small grassy yards, short driveways and sidewalk access. Complexes have minimal green space but
