West Fargo Neighborhood Guide
Eaglewood, West Fargo ND
Step out the back door and the North Dakota plains stretch to the horizon. Step out the front and Costco is five minutes away. Eaglewood is the neighbor to Eagle Run, a newer, planned neighborhood at the city's southwestern edge where infrastructure was built in before the first homes went up, the parks were part of the original design, and the big-sky view that defines the region's character is still visible from the backyard. Modern homes, a practical price point, and everything in Fargo reachable within 20 minutes.

Around the Neighborhood
The southwest West Fargo corridor has grown up around Eaglewood with some of the most practical commercial access in the metro.
Eaglewood Park West
Family-friendly neighborhood park with a well-designed playground, built as part of the original neighborhood plan.
Costco
5 minutes, bulk shopping and fuel without a long drive.
West Fargo Sports Arena
Indoor skating, athletics, and year-round programming, accessible for families and active residents.
West Acres Mall
10 minutes, the metro's largest shopping destination via Veterans Boulevard.
Costco is five minutes away and West Acres Mall about ten. For a neighborhood at the city's edge, everyday errands stay remarkably close, with I-94 putting downtown Fargo, NDSU, and both major hospital systems within easy reach.
What Makes Eaglewood Different
A newer planned community at West Fargo's southwestern edge, infrastructure first, then homes, then residents who came for the big-sky view and stayed for everything else.
Big Sky Views Out the Back
Eaglewood sits at the edge of West Fargo's developed footprint. Head west from the neighborhood and the plains open up immediately. For homes on the western and southern edges of the neighborhood, the North Dakota big sky is not a metaphor; it is visible from the back porch without a building or development blocking the horizon. That kind of space becomes increasingly rare as West Fargo's growth continues southeast.
Infrastructure Built In from the Start
Unlike neighborhoods that were platted and built in phases over many years, Eaglewood was developed with parks, trail connections, and street infrastructure integrated from the beginning. Eaglewood Park West, a family-friendly park with a well-designed playground, was part of the original neighborhood plan, not an afterthought. Buyers who move in do not wait years for the community amenities to appear.
Variety of Housing Types
Eaglewood offers a genuine mix of twin homes, single-family homes at multiple sizes, and larger builds, giving buyers at different price points and lifestyle stages an option within the same planned community. That variety is less common in newer west Fargo neighborhoods that often specialize in one product type, and it means Eaglewood serves a broader buyer profile than most of its peers at similar price points.
Still With Original Owners
With a median build year of 2016 and most properties still in the hands of their first buyers, Eaglewood is a neighborhood where homes have been maintained by the people who chose them. When something does come to market, it typically reflects genuine care rather than deferred maintenance, a meaningful distinction when comparing 2016-era construction across the southwest metro.
20 Minutes to Everything
Eaglewood residents consistently describe the Fargo metro as being 20 minutes or less from the neighborhood, and it is not an exaggeration. I-94 access is close, putting downtown Fargo, NDSU, Hector International Airport, and both major hospital systems within easy reach. Costco is five minutes. West Acres Mall is ten. For a neighborhood at the edge of the city, the access is uncommonly good.
Neighbor to Eagle Run
Eaglewood sits directly adjacent to Eagle Run, sharing the southwest West Fargo corridor and a similar buyer profile. Buyers who are comparing the two neighborhoods will find Eaglewood to be the quieter, slightly more residential of the two, without The Lights entertainment venue adding noise to summer evenings. For buyers who want the location and school access without the concert adjacency, Eaglewood is often the preference.
Homes & Pricing
What You'll Find Here
Modern 2016-era construction across three product types: twin homes, mid-range single-family, and larger builds, with consistent suburban design throughout.
Entry
Twin Homes
Shared-wall twin homes with vinyl exteriors, stone accents, two-stall garages, and fenced backyards. A practical entry into Eaglewood and west Fargo school access at the most accessible price point the neighborhood offers. 2016-era construction means modern mechanicals and current energy standards.
Primary
Single-Family Homes
Bi-level and multi-level single-family homes with front-facing two- and three-stall garages, sloped rooflines, vinyl siding in muted tones, and stone accents. The core of the Eaglewood market, modern suburban design at a practical price point with the big-sky views from back lots where available.
Premium
Larger & Edge-of-City Homes
Larger footprints and homes positioned at the western and southern edges of the neighborhood, where the big-sky view is most pronounced and the plains are most visible. These represent the most distinctive addresses in Eaglewood and the ones most likely to hold the neighborhood's premium valuation long-term.
Inventory in Eaglewood is historically modest, with most homes still held by original owners. Connecting with WSRT before searching is the most reliable way to be positioned when the right home becomes available.

Is It a Fit?
Who Eaglewood Is a Great Fit For
Eaglewood draws a practical buyer who wants modern construction, good schools, and the open-edge feeling of being at the city's frontier. Here is who tends to love it most, and what to know before committing.
Strong Fit
- Buyers who want the big-sky, edge-of-city feel that disappears as West Fargo's development moves further southwest. The window for this kind of back-door view is closing
- Families who want Legacy Elementary and the Sheyenne High pipeline in a newer neighborhood with parks and infrastructure built in from day one
- First-time buyers entering the market via a twin home who want modern construction and west Fargo school quality at a price below the neighborhood's single-family average
- Buyers who have toured Eagle Run and want a similar location with a quieter residential character and without the summer concert noise from The Lights
- Move-up buyers who want 2016-era construction with modern mechanicals and current energy standards at a price point below newer active-development neighborhoods
- Costco members and buyers who prioritize practical bulk shopping and errand efficiency as part of their weekly routine
Worth Knowing Before You Commit
- Eaglewood is car-dependent for all daily errands. While Costco and the surrounding commercial corridor are close, there is no walkable commercial node within the neighborhood itself.
- The big-sky views on the western and southern edges are one of the neighborhood's most distinctive features, but they exist because development has not yet reached that far. As West Fargo continues to build, these views will change. Buyers who want this feature should not wait on the assumption it will always be available.
- Most homes are still with their original owners, meaning resale inventory is deliberately thin. Buyers targeting this neighborhood specifically need WSRT connection and pre-approval before searching.
- Eaglewood and Eagle Run share a boundary and some infrastructure. The distinction between the two neighborhoods is real but subtle. Touring both before committing helps clarify which character fits better.
- School assignment boundary verification is especially important in this part of the metro, where active development can shift enrollment zones. Confirm with West Fargo Public Schools before purchasing.
