Bi-Level Homes in Fargo, ND — Bi-level homes — also called split-entry or split-foyer — are one of Fargo's most affordable paths into single-family homeownership. The half-flight entry leads up to the main living area and down to a partially above-grade lower level with real windows, giving you two equal floors of usable space. Fargo's bi-level inventory is concentrated in established 1980s and 1990s neighborhoods, many updated and move-in ready.

Why Buy Bi-Level Home in Fargo, ND?

Bi-levels are among the best values in the Fargo single-family market. The split-entry design stacks two roughly equal levels around a mid-level landing, which keeps the building footprint — and therefore the price — lower than a comparable two-story or rambler. For first-time buyers, a Fargo bi-level often delivers more square footage and a yard for a price closer to a townhome or condo.

The defining feature is the lower level. Because it sits partially above grade, the lower level gets natural light from full-size windows — so it lives like true above-ground space rather than a dark basement. Families use it for additional bedrooms, a home office, or a recreation room with clear separation from the main-floor living area.

Fargo's bi-level stock is concentrated in established neighborhoods built in the 1980s and 1990s — north Fargo, the area around Oak Grove, and pockets of south and central Fargo near established parks and schools. Many have been updated over the years with modern kitchens, new flooring, and finished lower levels, making them move-in ready at an attractive entry price.

Price expectations: Fargo bi-levels typically run from the high $200s for homes needing updates to the high $400s for larger or fully renovated properties. The median bi-level price sits near $365,000 — well below the city's two-story and rambler medians, which is exactly why they're a first-time-buyer favorite.

Neighborhoods in Fargo

Fargo's bi-level homes cluster in established 1980s-1990s neighborhoods — north Fargo near Oak Grove, and pockets of south and central Fargo near established parks and schools, on mature, tree-lined lots. These areas offer proximity to schools and an affordable entry point into single-family ownership. Verify school assignment by address.

South Fargo holds most of the new construction and master-planned growth — Osgood (built around the Osgood golf course), Prairie Farms, Rose Creek (in the Davies High zone), Rocking Horse Farm, Timber Creek, Eagle Pointe, and Valley View Estates. Established south-side neighborhoods like Prairiewood, Southview Villages, and Country Club Acres offer more approachable prices, while The Pines at the District brings walkable, mixed-use living. North Fargo, along the Red River, holds the city’s historic character — grand homes in Oak Grove, the Edgewood golf-course area, and the Downtown and Island Park core — plus established school neighborhoods like Horace Mann, Roosevelt/NDSU, and Washington.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do bi-level homes cost in Fargo, ND?

Fargo bi-levels typically range from the high $200s for homes needing updates to the high $400s for larger or fully renovated properties. The median bi-level price sits near $365,000 — well below Fargo's two-story and rambler medians, making bi-levels one of the most affordable single-family options in the city.

What is a bi-level home?

A bi-level (also called split-entry or split-foyer) home is entered at a mid-level landing, with a half-flight of stairs up to the main living area and down to the lower level. Both levels are roughly the same size, effectively doubling usable space compared to a single-story footprint.

What's the difference between a bi-level and a split-level?

A bi-level has two equal levels split by one half-flight of stairs at the front entry. A split-level has three or more staggered levels connected by multiple half-flights. If you're searching for tri-level or quad-level homes, see our split-level homes page.

Are Fargo bi-levels good for first-time buyers?

Yes — bi-levels are a Fargo first-time-buyer favorite. They deliver more square footage and a yard than a comparable condo or townhome at a similar or lower price, and the partially above-grade lower level adds genuinely usable living space rather than a dark basement.

Is the lower level of a bi-level a basement?

Not exactly. A bi-level's lower level is partially above grade with full-size windows, so it gets natural light and lives more like above-ground space than a traditional basement. Many Fargo bi-levels have finished lower levels with additional bedrooms, family rooms, or a home office.
