Fargo is primarily a car-dependent city, although neighborhoods closer to the downtown area are slightly more walkable and bikeable than others. For public transportation in the city, there is MATBUS, which is operated by the Fargo-Moorhead Metro Area Transit Authority. The buses primarily service college students and connect Fargo, Moorhead, the universities, and the surrounding suburbs. For further travel options, there are many Greyhound bus routes, as Fargo is considered the regional transportation hub between Duluth, Minneapolis, and the rest of the upper Midwest.
Fargo offers several health care providers for seniors wanting to be proactive about their health or for seniors seeking treatment for chronic conditions. The area has several hospitals, including Essentia Health Fargo, Sanford Medical Center, and Prairie St. John’s.
Fargo is a charming city filled with plenty of Midwestern and old Scandinavian charm. The city is an excellent place to retire, as it offers more cultural opportunities than most rural Midwest cities. The city has three different universities, which help in providing year-round entertainment in the form of arts and cultural events, including plenty of shows and performances put on by the schools. The Fargo-Moorhead Opera and the Fargo-Moorhead Orchestra also perform regularly. For outdoor recreation, the city maintains several public parks, and there are six golf courses, including the Fargo Country Club and the Prairiewood Golfcourse. Many locals enjoy spending time outdoors pursuing popular area pastimes like snowmobiling, duck hunting, cross-country skiing, and most of all, ice fishing!
