Newer homes and a family-friendly atmosphere in Deer Creek

Deer Creek is a newer, primarily residential suburb in southern Fargo, offering a mix of properties built from the early 2010s up until recently. Living here gives you easy access to Fargo's major highways and puts you just minutes from shopping and dining. The neighborhood is centered around a park and an elementary school, both within walking distance of homes — a big plus for families.

Architectural styles, neighborhood layout and density

You'll see lots of ranch-style and bi-level houses packed along the streets, plus a few twin homes and townhouses mixed in. "A lot of people think the lots are pretty small," says Realtor Kaden Monsebroten of Prime Realty, who has been in the industry since 2017. "On the west side of the neighborhood, you see some bigger lots, cul-de-sacs with larger properties, square footage-wise." Some back up to the Sheyenne River, which has a very private feeling, with trees on both sides of the water. Modern farmhouse and Craftsman styles are common in the area. Homes range anywhere from the low $300,000s to the high $600,000s. The median sale price is about $370,000; more than in Osgood, a neighboring community, where it's around $350,000.

A modern neighborhood designed for an active lifestyle

People who love being active are drawn to Deer Creek. "I see a lot of residents out running and using the walking paths, especially during the summer," Monsebroten says, adding that newcomers are often families or simply anyone seeking a modern, clean neighborhood.

Parks, trails and other outdoor recreation

Deer Creek Park is the go-to spot for outdoor fun. When the weather's nice, you'll see people shooting hoops, walking the trails, kicking the ball around and letting their kids loose on the playground. Other popular spots for outdoor recreation within 10 miles:

  • Osgood Golf Course, a nine-hole course that's open to the public
  • Lindenwood Park, a large multiuse park on the Red River with picnic shelters, a campground, bike and kayak rentals and more
  • Pocket parks with playgrounds in the surrounding area, like Rocking Horse Park
  • Trails for hiking, mountain biking and skiing, including the Iwen Park Trails
  • The Sheyenne River, where Monsebroten says people go fishing

Where to shop and grab a bite near Deer Creek and beyond

While Deer Creek is primarily residential, you'll find a few spots for errands along 52nd Avenue, including a gas station and an auto shop. "There are also two gyms right there: a CrossFit gym and Edge Fitness," Monsebroten says. Within a 20-minute drive, you'll have even more options, including Aldi, Walmart, West Acres Mall for big-name stores, and Downtown Fargo for unique shops and diverse eats. Still, Monsebroten says most people head over to nearby Osgood, where you'll find:

  • Several cafes, including Froth Coffeehouse and Sandy's Donuts and Coffee Shop
  • Restaurants serving everything from Chinese to Mexican and classic Americana fare — a favorite being SouthTown Pourhouse
  • Retailers such as Dollar Tree and Hornbacher's for groceries

Commuting from Deer Creek to other areas
