Hello--

I just got a new job that will be starting in a few weeks and I am looking for an apartment for myself and my dog and cat somewhere around Detroit Lakes, Park Rapids, Fergus Falls, or in that area. I need to be moved in by August 15th so I can be ready to start working by August 18th. It's been challenging trying to find a place from far away. I'm in Madison, Wisconsin right now. I would love suggestions on ways to find a find a place and resources, as well as available places. Thanks!

It's an organizing job that can based where I am. I'll be doing community organizing work throughout the state, but largely in northern and central Minnesota.

Should be able to find listings in DL area. Check Craigslist Fargo area looking for DL. A straight out search should also be done, they're out there - just have to look.

Fergus Falls and DL will have the most listings but Park Rapids would be my choice given those options. With Park Rapids you'll need to get lucky in finding a decent listing.

Perham and NY Mills could be considered also as they're inside that triangle.

Why would you suggest Park Rapids over Detroit Lakes or Fergus Falls?

Thanks for suggesting Perham and NY Mills. I don't know anything about them. What can you tell me?

Detroit Lakes is one of my favorite outstate MN towns.

I was looking in greater detail at Fergus Falls recently, do you know the town fairly well? A good job opportunity came up there, and not too familiar with that region of the state. I'm more familiar with NE Minnesota, and northern Wisconsin. I do see that Fergus Falls is on the eastern edge of the Prairies, but near a much larger lakes region, and does receive more outsiders which has to make it one of the better off rural counties economically compared to a number of others.
