Types of homes, the vibe, and prices you’ll find across Trollwood

You'll see a range of single-family houses in Trollwood, including ranch-style homes, two-story properties and spacious custom builds. Condos, some townhouses, and apartments and manufactured homes round out the choices. A lot of the neighborhood runs along the Red River, so [some] properties have really nice river lots," says Kaden Monsebroten, a Realtor since 2017, who works with Prime Realty. Trollwood's greener upper end follows the river's natural curves. In the lower half, residential pockets are separated by apartment complexes and the Fargo Regional Water Reclamation Facility. Monsebroten also notes that the west side is closer to the airport. Single-family homes tend to range from the high $200,000s to the high $600,000s. Most condos and townhouses have sold from the mid-$90,000s to the mid-$200,000s.

Local schools and school choice

When it comes to public education, Longfellow Elementary School and North High School are both highly rated. They are part of Fargo Public Schools, which allows for student intradistrict transfers through a petition process.

What locals do for recreation

Trollwood Park covers about 28 acres and is a go-to spot for getting outside. It has two playgrounds, a network of walking and biking trails, and a popular 18-hole disc golf course. North Broadway Park adds another playground and a picnic shelter. It's common to see people there kicking a soccer ball around, shooting hoops or relaxing in the shade.

Amenities within easy reach, from local dining to nearby shopping

Trollwood and North Fargo are, overall, very residential. The best-known spot to eat here is The Shack on Broadway, known for its caramel rolls and all-day breakfasts. When it comes to major shopping, there isn't any on the north side. "You need to go to South Fargo, downtown or out to West Acres," says Donna Heck, the concierge strategist for the Fargo-Moorhead-West Fargo Chamber of Commerce. These are some highlights:

  • The West Acres mall area, within 10 miles, has chains like Loft and Aerie.
  • Downtown Fargo, 5 miles away, has independent retailers and restaurants, including Revolver for vintage clothes, Vinyl Taco and Fargo Brewing Co.
  • Northport Shopping Center, just outside the community, has Hornbacher's for groceries.

Commuting to key areas of Fargo and Moorhead

Getting around the northern side of the city is usually a breeze. As Heck says, "The north side is much quieter from a traffic perspective." You can also catch the MATBUS from Trollwood — there are some stops along 32nd Avenue North.

By car, there are many key destinations within 20 minutes:

  • Hector International Airport for domestic flights
  • North Dakota State University for higher education and employment
  • Sanford Medical Center and Essentia Health, major hospitals that also serve leading area employers in Fargo
  • Cultural attractions like the Plains Art Museum and the Fargo Air Museum
  • Entertainment venues like the Fargodome, hosting major concerts and sporting events, and the Fargo Theatre, an Art Deco landmark
Two close bridges also connect residents to the Moorhead area, where locals frequently travel for work, school and entertainment.
