City of Horace<\/p>\n<p>About Jamestown the web site says:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For those looking to go big in a little town, 15,427 population Jamestown is a great option. Arguably one of this city\u2019s biggest attractions is a seriously big buffalo, a massive statue claiming to be the largest buffalo in the world. The place even goes by the nickname The Buffalo City because of this recently refurbished landmark. For those looking for a more active draw, there\u2019s also a massive disc golf course and a civic center that hosts special events and concerts regularly.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the fun stuff, Jamestown has a lot to offer people just looking to have a good life. The quality of life is ranked No 4 on our list, and the weather is tied with first place Lisbon for No. 3. There are plenty of amenities to visit, and the median home price is $96,300, making this an inexpensive place but a great value. Students will also be happy to find that the student-teacher ratio is a very personal 11 to 1, which ranks No. 5 for that criterion.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>More at the Movoto web site:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/top-ten\/best-places-in-north-dakota\/\">http:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/top-ten\/best-places-in-north-dakota\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Real estate research blog Movoto, Monday released a ranking of the top places in North Dakota using their Big Deal Score\u00a0ranking system.
