North Fargo Neighborhoods

These neighborhoods are desirable for their tree-lined streets; not found in Fargo-Moorhead’s sprawling developments. The mature trees reach across the road creating a beautiful canopy high above the pavement. Take a drive through one of these neighborhoods and you’ll not only admire the beautiful trees but also the stunning and unique architecture. In fact, we have a few homes listed for sale in these neighborhoods right now…check them out by clicking here.
