Bi-Level Homes for Sale 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.
