Horace, ND

Located just a few miles south of Fargo and West Fargo, Horace offers a quiet, small-town setting with an easy commute to the rest of the metro area. It has quickly become one of the region's fastest-growing communities, drawing families and newcomers with its open spaces, newer neighborhoods, and scenic stretches along the Sheyenne River. Living here gives you the calm of a tight-knit prairie town while keeping major shopping centers, dining, and healthcare only a short drive away.
