Northport Homes for Rent

Northport in Fargo offers a unique blend of suburban tranquility and urban convenience. Located just east of Hector International Airport and a mile northwest of North Dakota State University (NDSU), this established neighborhood is known for its quiet, small-town feel despite its proximity to bustling areas. The community is buffered by Yunker Farm Park, a 20-acre green space with garden plots and a dog park, providing a serene environment for residents. Homes here are predominantly ramblers and split-levels from the 1950s and 60s, featuring low-sloping roofs and mature trees. The neighborhood is family-friendly, with children often walking to highly rated schools like Longfellow Elementary, Ben Franklin Middle School, and North High School. Northport's central location means residents are never far from essential amenities. Hornbacher’s grocery store and Burggraf’s Ace Hardware are within walking distance, while dining options like Red Pepper Fargo and The Shack on Broadway offer local flavors. The neighborhood is also well-connected by quiet side streets and sidewalks, making it bikeable and walkable, with MATBUS routes 11 and 13 providing public transit options. Major roads like Broadway and University Drive offer direct routes to downtown Fargo, just 2 miles away, and Interstate 94. Despite its proximity to the airport, noise levels are manageable, and the area is safer than the national average. The Fargodome, located nearby, hosts a variety of events, from NDSU Bison games to concerts and festivals like Happy Harry’s RibFest. The Fargo AirSho, featuring performances by the U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels, is another local highlight. With its mix of suburban charm and urban amenities, Northport provides a balanced lifestyle for its residents.
