Job providers driving neighborhood growth in South Fargo

On Friday nights across the fall, the lights of the Sheyenne Football Stadium can be seen and the marching band can be heard from homes across the Brandt Crossing neighborhood. For some residents, all three levels of schooling, along with childcare, coffee shops and mixed retail shops are within a five-minute walk, making it one of the most desirable communities in the area for home buyers focused on convenience. “There’s a dog park, a gym… there’s a lot of growth happening there,” says Poonam Budhiraja and Aruna Hagen, Realtors with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Advantage One. That growth also includes jobs, they point out – “We have Microsoft that moved here, Amazon opened their center here, so a lot of new business have opened up.” It’s not just tech but also healthcare jobs driving the growth of Brandt Crossing, as the neighborhood is only a mile from Sanford Medical Center, the largest medical center in the state.

Convenient amenities drive housing prices

While homes in Brandt Crossing fit in with nearby subdivisions, featuring similar vinyl-sided modern traditional designs, they garner a bit more on the market due to the increased convenience of the neighborhood. Sitting on lots that are no bigger than a quarter acre, most feature flat lawns and young landscaping, with white privacy fencing tracing along property lines. Stone exterior accents are typical, while modern interiors often feature wood and stone accents and wood-grain flooring. While there are a handful of twin homes and ramblers, most are 2-story free-standing single-family units with two- or three-stall garages – many residents enjoy the extra space for cold-weather tools and toys. Twin homes often go for between $250,000 and $325,000, while 3-bedroom single-family homes sell for $275,000 up to $440,000. Those with four or more bedrooms – almost always featuring that third garage stall – sell for prices starting at $325,000 and reaching up to $625,000. Overall, the cost of homes is generally $50,000 to $60,000 above the metro average. There are also an above-average number of apartments in this neighborhood, offering a lower entry point for those who want to live there but might not be ready for owning a home.

Highly walkable, with fast access to key Interstates

Not only are the schools easily accessible by walking or biking, but retail and dining are also nearby for pedestrians. Public transit is limited, so most residents in the neighborhood continue to be car-dependent for the bigger errands. Heading into Downtown Fargo is a 7-mile trip that usually takes around 15 minutes, helped out by easy access to Interstates 94 and 29. Hector International Airport is 8 miles away but also reachable in around 15 minutes, thanks to its location just off I-29.

Medical center drives the market forward

Sanford Medical Center, one of the largest medical centers in the region, provides 24-hour emergency care and towers on the horizon a mile north. “A lot of smaller town patients and people come to the medical center here, and Sanford brings a lot of jobs to the city,” says Budhiraja. Opened in 2017, it’s one of the tallest buildings in the city. The Adult Trauma Center and Pediatric Trauma Center are some of the most advanced in the region, making Sanford the key trauma service provide through the eastern sides of North and South Dakota and much of western Minnesota

Friday nights and The Lights

Friday night football at Sheyenne brings families out, but it’s not the only game in town. Residents in Brandt’s Crossing have plenty of opportunities, from events at The Lights, which is only a mile west of the neighborhood, to watching the Fargo Force of the USHL at Scheels Arena, which is only a half mile for some residents. Mike Amundson, Executive Director at West Fargo Events, points to the annual Pro Bull Riding Event as one of his favorites. For cultural events, West Fest in West Fargo is a big draw, while Red River Valley Fair is the biggest party in town, drawing in hundreds of thousands of attendees over three weekends in late June and early July.
