Centennial is a growing Fargo suburb known for its tree-lined streets and convenience to major employers, including Microsoft. The neighborhood has a wide range of homes mostly built from the 1990s to the 2020s, including luxury options. Families appreciate the suburban perks — including top-rated schools and parks within walking distance — as well as having easy access to the 52nd Avenue South's shopping and dining corridor.
Single-family homes with multi-car garages are the norm. You'll see a mix of larger luxury residences, spacious ranch-style properties and custom builds. Features like arched doorways and craftsman beams give the area character. Winters can be long, but roomy backyards invite summer fun — from jumping on the trampoline to gardening. Some of the higher-end homes have in-ground pools. Greenbelts wind throughout the community, and some properties back right up to them. Prices start in the mid-$300,000s and go into the high $700,000s, with the largest options ranging from the low $800,000s to over $1.3 million.
Centennial gets its name from Centennial Elementary School, which is in the neighborhood. The community falls under the Fargo Public Schools district, which offers an in-district petition process for school choice. Students may progress to Discovery Middle School and Davies High School, both highly rated.
One of the things people love about Centennial is its secluded feeling. "The only reason you'd drive in there was if you were delivering a pizza or you lived there," says Arlin Fisher, a Realtor with Park Co. Realtors with nine years of industry experience. Fisher used to live in Centennial. This feeling is only enhanced by the mature tree canopy throughout the area. "This neighborhood was built in about the 1990s, so that gives us [over] 30 years now worth of tree growth," he says. Most own their homes, creating a stable network of neighbors. The community stays active year-round thanks to local parks, trails and sidewalks.
It's easy to find a family-friendly green space. "You're close to a lot of residential parks, which is great for the kids," Fisher says. Centennial Park is behind the elementary school with swings, playgrounds and places to play sports. During the winter, you'll find people ice skating here. Other parks include Oak Creek Park, a low-key picnic spot, and Fox Run Park, a favorite for disc golf. Paved trails run through the area's green spaces and greenbelts, and sidewalks tie everything together. Centennial also has some fun indoor recreation:
Centennial's location makes getting around Fargo quick and convenient, thanks to its proximity to Interstates 29 and 94. Whether you're running errands or heading to work or play, most destinations are just a short drive away. Key places you can get to in under 15 to 20 minutes:
Dining options cluster around 52nd Avenue South and nearby roads closer to the bottom end of the neighborhood. At Timber Creek Retail Center, you could work out, get your hair or nails done, grab lunch at Five Guys or a sweet treat from Jen's Bakery, a popular local spot. Other nearby spots include Dairy Queen and Frank's Lounge, one of Fargo's many bar and grills. Cash Wise Foods and Aldi are a few of your closest grocery options. The West Acres mall area is around 10 minutes away for national brands such as Aerie and Loft. Or you could head downtown for more options.
