Story-and-a-Half Homes in West Fargo, ND — In West Fargo, story-and-a-half homes are mostly the modern, high-end version of the style — newer custom builds centered on a vaulted, light-filled great room open to an upper loft or bedroom level. Built into the city's growth corridors and backed by the well-regarded West Fargo Public Schools, they're a standout for move-up buyers, though inventory is limited and rotates.

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

Story-and-a-half in West Fargo usually means something different than the older Cape Cods in central Fargo or Moorhead. Because West Fargo has grown so fast, most of its 1.5-story homes are newer custom builds — designed around a dramatic vaulted great room open to a second-floor loft or bedroom level, typically with a main-floor primary suite below.

That layout pairs the wow factor of soaring ceilings with the practicality of main-floor living, and you get it inside the well-regarded West Fargo Public Schools (West Fargo and Sheyenne high schools) with quick access to the Veterans Boulevard corridor and Fargo employment. A handful of older, more affordable story-and-a-half homes also turn up in the established parts of the city near 13th Avenue.

Pricing reflects the newer, larger custom stock: most West Fargo story-and-a-half homes run from the high $600s to near $1 million, while the occasional older home lists for much less. It's a premium, character-forward alternative to the city's more common two-story and rambler new construction.

Inventory is the catch. West Fargo has far more two-story and rambler construction than story-and-a-half, so the vaulted 1.5-story homes are relatively scarce and move quickly when they list. A saved search with us is the best way to be first to know — there are more of these in West Fargo than show up on any given day.

Is story-and-a-half inventory limited in West Fargo?
