A Small Town with Big Energy
Kindred is the kind of place where you’ll wave at your neighbor, not your GPS. Population? A few thousand — small enough for teachers to know your kids by name, big enough for a few hidden gems (including a coffee shop that doubles as the town’s unofficial news desk). You won’t find skyscrapers — but you will find new-construction neighborhoods, established small-town homes, and wide-open lots waiting for your dream build.

Location, Location… and Still Location
Think rural, not remote. Kindred is close enough that you can commute to Fargo in under half an hour, yet far enough that the night sky still puts on a show. It’s strategically placed near key commuter routes, so whether you work in Fargo, West Fargo, or Wahpeton, getting there is easy — and coming home feels like a deep breath.
School Spirit and Community Pride
Kindred Public Schools are the heart of this community, known for strong academics, competitive athletics, and small-class attention. On any given Friday, you’ll find half the town at a Vikings game — and the other half grilling for it. It’s one of those rare towns where kids still ride bikes to school, and parents can walk to the ballfields without checking a traffic app first.
The Kindred Lifestyle
Living in Kindred means trading noise for neighborly. Summer evenings end on the porch, winter weekends are for sledding, and everyone knows who makes the best bars for the church bake sale. Surrounding farms bring fresh produce to nearby markets — real farm-to-table — and when you want big-box shopping or fine dining, Fargo is a straight shot up the highway.

Modern neighborhoods like Newport Ridge and Prairie View are shaping Kindred’s next chapter. Builder flexibility, green-space lots, and city incentives make new construction surprisingly attainable.
