Ideal for first-time buyers, growing families, or investors, The Wilds is a standout in the Fargo-Moorhead area. Start exploring today by checking out all active listings in The Wilds with Team Vision Realty’s expert guidance.

Why The Wilds Stands Out

Nestled near the Horace city limits in West Fargo, The Wilds is a master-planned community known for its modern homes and serene setting. With home prices averaging $484,283 and sizes ranging from 1,800 to 3,000 square feet, The Wilds offers single-family homes and townhomes with premium features like gourmet kitchens and spacious primary suites. Its location near major employers like Microsoft and Sanford Health, plus top-rated schools in the West Fargo Public School District, makes it a top pick for all qualified buyers. Quick access to Interstate 94 connects you to Fargo’s West Acres Mall and Moorhead’s dining scene in minutes.

The Wilds, including subdivisions like The Ranch at The Wilds, features six ponds, a playground at Wilds Park, and tree-lined streets, creating a peaceful, family-friendly vibe. Homes like the “Sarah” 3-level floor plan boast 12-foot ceilings, quartz islands, and 3-stall garages, perfect for modern living. With 279 homes sold in the past 12 months and an average market time of 111 days, The Wilds is a hot market with strong investment potential.

Expert Tip: “The Wilds blends small-town charm with urban convenience,” says Christopher Leigh of Team Vision Realty. “Its modern homes and amenities make it ideal for buyers seeking value and community.”

Many homes, such as those in The Ranch at The Wilds, include private courtyards and spacious dens. Prices range from $325,000 to $550,000, with builder incentives like $15,000 in savings on select models. Explore all active listings in The Wilds to find move-in-ready options.

2. Family-Friendly Amenities and Schools

The Wilds is built for community living, with six ponds, a playground at Wilds Park, and walking paths protected by the Sheyenne River Diversion. Legacy Elementary School, located in the heart of the subdivision with an A-minus rating from Niche, offers convenient drop-offs for families. Students feed into Heritage Middle School (B-plus) and Horace High School, known for robust athletics and fine arts programs. The neighborhood’s quiet streets and proximity to recreational areas make it ideal for active lifestyles.

3. Strong Investment Potential

West Fargo’s growth, with 568 homes sold in the last 12 months and an average sale price of $387,160, positions The Wilds as a prime investment opportunity. Low special assessments and builder incentives enhance value, while house hacking—renting out extra bedrooms or a duplex unit—can offset your mortgage in high-demand areas like The Wilds. With 127 homes currently listed, the market is active but buyer-friendly, offering negotiation opportunities.
