Why Southdale Farms Stands Out

Located in Horace, one of North Dakota’s fastest-growing cities, Southdale Farms combines the tranquility of rural living with easy access to Fargo’s vibrant job market and amenities. With Horace’s population nearing 7,239 and growing steadily, this subdivision is a hotspot for buyers seeking modern homes in a close-knit community. Southdale Farms features homes priced from approximately $299,900 to $349,450, with single-family options ranging from 1,600 to 2,000 square feet—well below the Fargo-Moorhead median of $320,000. Its proximity to Interstate 29, just off 64th Ave S, makes commuting to Fargo or West Fargo quick and convenient.

The subdivision’s appeal lies in its family-friendly design, including planned walking and biking paths, a future pond, and proximity to a new elementary school planned by the West Fargo Public School District. Whether you’re drawn to move-in-ready ramblers, custom two-story homes, or the opportunity to build on an oversized lot, Southdale Farms offers a lifestyle that balances community connection with modern comfort.

Expert Tip: “Southdale Farms is a gem for buyers wanting space and modern amenities,” says Christopher Leigh of Team Vision Realty. “Its growth and location make it ideal for families and professionals alike.”

What Southdale Farms Offers Prospective Buyers

Here’s a closer look at why Southdale Farms is a standout choice for homebuyers in Horace, ND:

1. Diverse Housing Options

Southdale Farms caters to a range of budgets and preferences with its variety of home styles. From 3-bedroom, 2-bath ramblers to spacious 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath two-stories, you’ll find open-concept layouts, large kitchen islands, and modern finishes like vaulted ceilings. For those interested in building, the subdivision offers oversized lots with no builder restrictions, giving you the freedom to create your ideal home. Browse all active listings in Southdale Farms to see available properties, such as the Walsh floorplan—a 3-bedroom, 2-bath custom home with 1,894 square feet, perfect for first-time buyers or small families.

• What to Do:
  • Explore all active listings in Southdale Farms to find move-in-ready homes or available lots.
  • Look for builder promotions, such as $30,000 in savings on in-ground models or $12,500 in upgrades for select properties.
  • Connect with a local lender to explore financing options like FHA loans, which require just 3.5% down.

Expert Tip: “Builder incentives in Southdale Farms can save you thousands,” says Christopher. “Team Vision Realty can connect you with trusted builders to get the best deal.”

2. Community Amenities and Lifestyle

Southdale Farms is designed for community living, with planned amenities like a pond and extensive walking and biking paths, ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. Its location near the Sheyenne River offers opportunities for fishing, hiking, or relaxing in nature. Residents enjoy Horace’s growing recreational offerings, including parks and community events like neighborhood block parties. The planned elementary school nearby, part of the West Fargo Public School District, makes Southdale Farms especially attractive for families seeking top-notch education.

• What to Do:
  • Visit Horace’s parks or the Sheyenne River to experience the area’s natural beauty.
  • Attend local events to connect with Southdale Farms’ welcoming community.
  • Research school programs at West Fargo Public Schools to plan for your family’s educational needs.

Expert Tip: “The upcoming elementary school will boost Southdale Farms’ appeal for families,” notes Christopher. “Now’s the time to buy before demand spikes!”

3. Investment Potential

With Horace projected to grow by 220% over the next 5-7 years, Southdale Farms is a smart investment for buyers looking to build equity. The subdivision’s blend of residential and nearby commercial development, including parcels on County Road 17, signals a bright future. Affordable home prices and builder incentives—like $40,000 in paid specials at closing for select lots—add significant value. House hacking, such as purchasing a duplex and renting out a unit, is another way to offset your mortgage and maximize your investment.

• What to Do:
  • Explore lots on Harvest Circle for custom builds with no builder restrictions.
  • Consider house hacking to generate rental income and live nearly rent-free.
