Jefferson/Carl Ben Neighborhood

The Jefferson/Carl Ben neighborhood is named after two of its prominent schools: Jefferson Elementary, originally established in 1923 and replaced with a new building in 2007, and Carl Ben Eileson Elementary, which became Carl Ben Eileson Middle School in 2006. Agassiz Adult Learning Center is also located in the neighborhood along University Drive. Housing in this area consists of both owner-occupied and renter-occupied properties, offering a variety of living options. Residents benefit from convenient access to parks and services in both downtown Fargo and along the 13th Avenue and University Drive corridors. The neighborhood is bordered by the Main Avenue commercial district to the north, contributing to its mix of residential and commercial uses. The Jefferson Area Neighborhood Association is active in the community, working to enhance the area for its residents.
