A compact community surrounded by amenities

A small neighborhood on the edge of Fargo and West Fargo, Burlington sits at an advantageous spot. It’s located right along Interstate 94 and is adjacent to one of the most concentrated retail and commercial centers in all of western Fargo, in addition to being just across the highway from Sanford Medical Center, a major job provider for the region. “I thought when I moved here many years ago, that there weren’t many amenities, just because we didn’t have that much growth. In the last few years, the growth has brought a lot more,” says Poonam Budhiraja and Aruna Hagen, Realtors with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Advantage One. The neighborhood was developed at the back end of the growth, with the amenities creating separation between the traditional West Fargo communities and the newer subdivisions, like Burlington.

Limited supply for buying, but plenty of rental options

Homes comprise only a small slice of the Burlington neighborhood – over half of the space is devoted to apartments – making it primarily a rental community. Fewer than 50 homes exist in the neighborhood, making it fairly exclusive for those looking to own. Built from 2005 through 2011, these bi-level and ranch-style houses feature modern traditional exteriors clad in durable vinyl siding with stone accents. Inside, upscale features include serving islands and tray ceilings, along with modern stainless appliances and extra attic space for storage. Large over-sized garages range from large two- and four-stall options and feature floor drains for dealing with North Dakota winters. Most homes here sit on lots smaller than a quarter acre and have privacy fencing. Twin homes generally sell for $300,000 to $375,000, while freestanding single-family properties range from $600,000 to $725,000.

West Fargo schools value arts and athletics

Students in Burlington may start at Eastwood Elementary School, which earns a B-minus from Niche, before moving up to Cheney Middle School, which scores a B. West Fargo High School, also earning a B from Niche, is known for its sports teams. In 2018, the school also won the state championship for One Act Plays. Parents seeking a private school option for their children may turn to nearby Trinity Elementary School, part of the St. John Paul II Catholic Schools. Sacred Heart Middle School and Shanley High School, which share a campus in the Bennett neighborhood, are the secondary options within the diocese schools.

Convenient highways put Downtown within a reasonable drive

A thorough network of sidewalks and wide streets means that some residents may be able to walk or bike to amenities or school. There is also some public transit, with MATBUS Route 24 crossing the top end of the neighborhood. Still, most residents are car-dependent, making use of those massive garages. Interstate 94 and nearby Interstate 29 help make travel across Fargo simple, with Downtown being a 7-mile drive that usually takes 15 minutes. Hector International Airport, offering regular flights, is 8 miles away. Positioned just off I-29, it can usually be reached within 10 to 15 minutes.

Sanford Med stands tall on the horizon

Just across I-94 and visible from the properties of most residents, Sanford Medical Center is one of the newest and largest medical centers in the region. Sanford is the largest employer in the Fargo area and the Medical Center is home to many of those jobs. For neighborhood residents, a protected walking and biking path means they don’t need a car to commute – the Center is only a mile or so from most residences. It also provides 24-hour emergency care to the community, which can mean late-night AirMed flyovers. Sanford’s ambulance service is located within Burlington, meaning wailing sirens are common throughout the day.

A pocket park with a touching tribute

Burlington Commons is a small pocket park with walking trails and a basketball half-court. It’s also home to one of the most heartfelt ponds in the area – The Caroline Ruby Vetter Duck Pond. A local child who fought leukodystrophy, had a love of ducks and her story of creating her own “Duck Pond” in her bedroom inspired the community to dedicate the pond to her memory. Locals can sit on benches overlooking the pond and catch a glimpse of the waterfowl as they splash around. A half-mile walk north, Maplewood Park and Activity Center offers a larger play area along with a rink where locals get together for pick-up games on rollerblades in the summer or ice skates in the winter.

Suburban shopping hub just moments away

Just to the east of the neighborhood, dining and shopping options can be found all along 45th Street. Chains and franchise restaurants are well represented, but a handful of quirky local spots offer up American pub and grille fare too. This includes locales like Space Aliens Grill and Bar, featuring a theme that’s out of this world. Another is the Fargo location of Wild Bill’s Sports Saloon, a western-themed sports bar and grille. Porter Creek Hardwood Grill brings the California and Mediterranean fusion of Napa Valley – along with the wine selection – to Fargo, in a contemporary setting. To the west, Blarney Stone Pub does Irish Pub favorites in a modern atmosphere. Meats by John and Wayne, a local butcher shop, is a minute’s drive away, while The Home Depot, Scheels, Walmart, and other stores to pick up home necessities can be found along 45th Street.

West Fargo Events provides opportunities for all ages across the community

West Fargo Events is heavily involved in producing events throughout the region. “We hold over 220 events each calendar year, from hockey tournaments and camps to concerts like Joan Jett,” says Mike Amundson, Executive Director of West Fargo Events. While most of these take place at The Lights event center, he says that there are bingo games, family fun nights, movie nights and more that they run at smaller venues throughout the area. Residents will often drive up to the heart of town – “Most of the fairs happen a little further away in West Fargo, only a 5 or 10-minute drive,” says Budhiraja, speaking of festivities like the Red River Valley Fair, the Big Iron Farm Show and West Fest that take place on or near the main drag of West Fargo.
