Suburban living in Maple Valley

Maple Valley is a peaceful suburb known for its newer homes and strong sense of community. The schools here have a strong reputation, and the area has really grown in step with the rest of South Fargo, where there's more available land than in the rest of the city. You've got pocket parks and a central green space to enjoy when the weather's warm, plus lots of shopping and dining nearby all year.

Types of homes and what they cost

You'll find everything from New Traditional homes to sleek contemporary construction to eclectic custom builds in Maple Valley. Subdivisions here offer something for a range of preferences, lifestyles and budgets. Prairie Grove and Maple Valley feature modest single-family options. Prairie Farms is known for its larger, half-acre lots and custom, upscale properties. Silverleaf falls somewhere in between, with a mix of mid- to upper-tier homes. In some of the luxury dwellings, you'll spot touches like fitness rooms, heated floors for chilly Fargo winters and oversized garages.

For the most part, larger properties and newer custom builds with luxury features sell from the high $600,000s to over $1.5 million. Relatively modest traditional properties that skew older have fetched from the high $200,000s to the high $400,000s. You'll also find some condos and townhouses, with most ranging in the high $200,000s.

A welcoming neighborhood atmosphere

The median build year in Maple Valley is 2012, so while there are newer homes, the neighborhood still has enough history to have a real sense of community. "It's a comfortable area," says Realtor Erik Wall, who has been in the industry for over 20 years and is the team owner at Wall Street Realty Team. "It's hard to find an area around Fargo-Moorhead that isn't family-friendly, and I've lived in bigger cities, too. It's very community-oriented and helpful."

The quality of public education in Maple Valley

Students attend Fargo Public Schools. Both Discovery Middle School and Fargo Davies High School are highly rated, and the high school really stands out with the local community. “That is one of the more desirable public schools in the Fargo–West Fargo area,” Wall says.

What the commute into downtown Fargo is like

Interstate 29 is just west of Maple Valley, making getting around the Fargo area simple. "Nearly all of the area's jobs are located in either Fargo or Moorhead, so in general, most drives are less than 15 minutes," Wall says. Downtown Fargo's cultural attractions and jobs are roughly 7 miles away.

Where to shop, eat and grab groceries around Fargo

When it comes to shopping and dining, Wall mentions that just about anywhere in Fargo is within easy reach. Within the neighborhood itself, there are a few fast-food spots and the local favorite, Frank's Lounge. “It’s likely one of the most recognizable places in the area," Wall says. “It's a bar and restaurant with a great atmosphere that is perfect for a get-together with friends or a date night.” For groceries, Cash Wise Foods is one of the closest options, though Aldi and Walmart aren’t far. West Acres is a go-to mall for national chains such as Aerie and Loft.

The menu at Frank's Lounge features a variety of comfort foods, including burgers and beer.

Parks, trails and a sports center give residents room to unwind

There are neighborhood pocket parks, such as Prairie Farms Park and Silverleaf Park, with playgrounds. In the heart of the community, there’s a more sprawling green space. “It's pretty long, and there are walking trails going through the middle of it,” says Kaden Monsebroten, a Realtor since 2017 with Prime Realty.

Other spots for recreation within a mile of the neighborhood include:

  • Legacy Park, with a full-sized basketball court
  • Fargo Parks Sports Center, with indoor pickleball courts, a turf field, a walking track and more for year-round sports
