Located about 120 miles north of Bismarck, Burlington is another charming rural town that North Dakota is known for. Perfect for renters looking for a slower pace of life, Burlington features affordable ranch-style and mid-rise apartments for rent. Surrounded by farmland, open pastures, and riverfront parks, Burlington is predominately residential, giving a pastoral feel. Burlington has a small commercial center, but to access more amenities, most residents travel to nearby towns, especially Minot, located only 15 minutes away. Minot houses a vibrant downtown district, a zoo, movie theaters, museums, and more. Burlington residents have plenty of amenities to choose from nearby. If you’re looking for a good weekend trip, the state capital is a two-hour drive away, made easy by U.S. Highway 83.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
