17 story-and-a-half homes for sale in Moorhead, MN — priced from $105,000 to $569,900, median $185,000 (about $121/sqft, median 1,646 sqft). Part of 197 story-and-a-half homes across the Fargo-Moorhead area. Updated 10/13/2026, 6:31 AM CDT from NorthstarMLS. The charm is upstairs — but so is the homework. 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 Moorhead, MN — Story-and-a-half homes — 1.5-story, Cape Cod, or bungalow styles — are among Moorhead's most affordable and characterful single-family homes, with the bonus of Minnesota residency and the Moorhead Area Public Schools. A full main floor pairs with a partial upper level under a dormered roof, mostly across the city's established, tree-lined neighborhoods.

Why Buy Story-and-a-Half Home in Moorhead, MN?

Story-and-a-half homes are one of the most affordable single-family options in Moorhead, and they carry the character of the city's older, established neighborhoods. The layout — a full main floor plus a partial upper level tucked under a sloped, dormered roof — often includes a main-floor bedroom, with additional bedrooms or a bonus room upstairs.

Most of Moorhead's story-and-a-half inventory sits in the established neighborhoods near Concordia College, MSUM, and the older central and south sections of the city. These are classic Cape Cod and bungalow homes — hardwood floors, built-ins, mature lots — that appeal to first-time buyers, renovators, and anyone who wants Minnesota residency without a premium price.

Value is the draw. Moorhead story-and-a-half homes commonly run from around $150,000 to the high $300s, with the median near $240,000 — among the most affordable single-family homes in the metro. Buyers stay minutes from Fargo employment via US-10 and I-94 while keeping Minnesota schools and a quieter pace.

A couple of practical notes: the upstairs sloped ceilings (knee walls) make cozy bedrooms but reduce usable floor area, so measure for larger furniture. Many of these homes are older — factor in the age of the roof, windows, and mechanicals, and we'll help you read the inspection.
