Are there any monasteries in North American where a community of Buddhist nuns live?

Yes. Aranya Bodhi Hermitage is one. Mahapajapati Monastery is another. In addition, Sravasti Abbey, while not specifically for women, has a number of ordained nuns as well.

The last two are not women-specific, but Po Lam is a nunnery since I last checked. Mahayana tradition.

buddha.net has a kind of world-wide search map type thing if you want to give that a look-ee-loo.
