25 story-and-a-half homes for sale in Fargo, ND — priced from $145,000 to $799,000, median $240,000 (about $143/sqft, median 1,878 sqft).

Dormers, sloped ceilings, older insulation, and unusual room dimensions can make the upper level very different from the square footage on paper.

Story-and-a-Half Homes in Fargo, ND — Story-and-a-half homes — 1.5-story, Cape Cod, or bungalow styles — are among Fargo's most charming and affordable single-family homes. A full main floor pairs with a partial upper level under a dormered roof, and most are found in Fargo's established, tree-lined neighborhoods near Oak Grove, NDSU, and the older core of the city.

Why Buy Story-and-a-Half Home in Fargo, ND?

Story-and-a-half homes are often the most affordable way into single-family ownership in Fargo, and they come with character you won't find in newer construction. The layout — a full main floor plus a partial upper level tucked under a sloped, dormered roof — frequently includes a main-floor bedroom, with additional bedrooms or a bonus room upstairs.

Fargo's story-and-a-half inventory concentrates in the city's established neighborhoods: north Fargo near Oak Grove and NDSU, and the older central and south-central areas. These are classic Cape Cod and bungalow homes, many with hardwood floors, built-in cabinetry, arched doorways, and mature lots — the kind of charm that draws first-time buyers, renovators, and anyone who prefers character over cookie-cutter.

Value is the headline. Fargo story-and-a-half homes commonly run from the $180,000s to around $300,000, with the median near $260,000 — typically below the city's rambler, two-story, and bi-level medians. That makes them a strong entry point for first-time buyers and a popular target for buyers who want to add value through updates.

A couple of practical notes: the upstairs sloped ceilings (knee walls) create cozy bedrooms but reduce usable floor area, so measure if you have specific furniture in mind. Many of these homes are older, so factor in the age of the roof, windows, and mechanicals — we can help you read the inspection and budget accordingly.

Neighborhoods in Fargo

Fargo's story-and-a-half homes are concentrated in established neighborhoods — north Fargo around Oak Grove and NDSU, and the older central and south-central parts of the city — on mature, tree-lined lots close to parks and schools. These are among the most affordable and character-rich single-family homes in Fargo. 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.

Are Fargo story-and-a-half homes good for first-time buyers?

Often, yes. They're frequently the most affordable single-family homes in Fargo, they offer real character (hardwood floors, built-ins), and many have a main-floor bedroom. Because many are older, factor in the age of the roof, windows, and mechanicals — we'll help you read the inspection.

Do story-and-a-half homes have main-floor bedrooms?
