Homes for Sale Near Fargo-Moorhead: The Commuter Towns
Beyond the four core cities, the Fargo-Moorhead metro is ringed by small towns across Cass County, ND and Clay County, MN — places where buyers trade a 15-to-40-minute commute for lower prices, more land, and a genuine small-town pace. This page collects active listings across that satellite ring on both sides of the Red River.

North Dakota commuter towns (Cass County)
Ringing Fargo, towns like Casselton, Mapleton, Kindred, Harwood, and Argusville give buyers newer construction and acreage at prices below the metro core, with quick I-94 and highway access to Fargo’s job centers. Casselton anchors the Central Cass district, while Kindred, Davenport, and Walcott feed Kindred Public Schools — a draw for families who want strong rural schools without a Fargo address.
Minnesota commuter towns (Clay County)
East of Moorhead, Dilworth and Glyndon are the closest and most convenient, both served by the Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton (DGF) district. Farther out, Hawley, Barnesville, Sabin, and Comstock offer true rural Minnesota living — larger lots, established communities, and Clay County’s lower-tax footprint — within an easy drive of the metro. Together these towns give buyers the widest range of land, price, and lifestyle in the region.
