Homes for Sale in Highland Addition — Moorhead, MN

One of Moorhead's oldest neighborhoods — front-porch character homes within walking distance of Concordia College

Highland Addition is one of Moorhead's oldest platted neighborhoods, laid out on the Minnesota side of the Red River near Concordia College. This is where you find genuinely historic houses — most built between the 1890s and the 1950s — with front porches, a mature tree canopy, and the vintage character that newer subdivisions can't replicate. In the MLS you'll often see it shortened to "Highland Add," but it's the same close-in, walkable Moorhead neighborhood.

Expect character-rich single-family homes, generally four to six bedrooms and roughly 1,400 to 2,300 square feet — older houses with the front porches and detailing that came standard a century ago. A few of the larger homes near the colleges have been split into fourplexes or used as rentals over the years, so you'll see some older multi-family in the mix too. Prices usually run from around $200,000 into the low $300,000s, depending on size and updates.

Highland Addition suits buyers who want vintage character and a walkable location over new construction on the edge of town. You're within walking distance of Concordia College and downtown Moorhead, close to the Red River trail corridor, and a five-minute drive from Fargo across the river. Homes here are served by Moorhead Area Public Schools and sit in Clay County, ZIP 56560. There are no vacant lots left, so buying here means buying an existing home.

Highland Addition FAQ

Is Highland Addition new construction?

No. Highland Addition is one of Moorhead's oldest neighborhoods, and almost every home was built between the 1890s and the 1950s. There are no vacant lots left to build on, so buyers here are purchasing existing character homes rather than new construction. If you want new builds, Moorhead's south side has more of that inventory.

How much do homes in Highland Addition cost?

Most houses fall in the four- to six-bedroom range at roughly 1,400 to 2,300 square feet. Because these are older homes, the amount of updating varies a lot from one property to the next — that's the biggest driver of price.
