A plain, one-bedroom apartment in Williston, N.D., rents for $2,100 a month. For this price, you could rent a one-bedroom apartment in New York City.

Williston is not New York City. There are 30,000 residents and one department store. The nearest city is two hours away.


Went through there this past summer. It is crazy. RV parked where there is no water or sever. Stayed in a town 100 miles away in Montana and there were workers driving it everyday to work. Almost sold my 5th wheel. Should have. We have friends with a start up business there and hubby would be hired right off. However money is not everything eh?
