Country West has custom homes and longtime neighbors near the highway
On the far northwest side of Bismarck, Country West offers a tranquil escape from the more populated parts of the city. The neighborhood's leafy subdivisions, expansive homes and low crime attract long-term residents who want strong community ties. "People just don't sell their houses there," says Austin Muth, co-founding Realtor of Genesis Realty. "People live their whole lives in those homes, so most of them already know each other." Yet even though neighbors are tight-knit, the community still welcomes change. "My cousin was able to buy a home there, and when he moved in, the neighbors threw a block party so they could all get to know him," Muth says. Additionally, new construction opens more opportunities for people to enjoy the neighborhood's peaceful atmosphere while remaining near commercial centers, major roads and schools. The neighborhood's CAP Index Crime Score is 1 out of 10, significantly lower than the national score of 4.

Contemporary subdivisions join older homes on leafy streets
Custom homes from the 1970s and 1980s give Country West its character. "It has a very old-school vibe," Muth says. "They just don't make homes like those anymore. Even high-end houses in other parts of the city just aren't made the same." Architectural features differentiate ranch-style homes, split-level houses and estate-like properties on spacious lots. Mature trees bring shade, privacy and natural beauty to the community's long, winding roads and rolling hills. Older homes rarely go on the market, so listed properties aren't available for long. "My wife and I actually bid on a house over there, and it immediately had 11 other bids," Muth says. Further into the neighborhood, subdivisions built within the past decade have more availability. Architecture is more homogeneous and contemporary, but lots remain spacious, and trees still dot front yards. Older homes typically cost between $320,000 and $680,000, while new construction ranges between $500,000 and $900,000. Some estates can cost up to $1.4 million.
