Homes in Deer Creek

Expect modern farmhouse and Craftsman-style ranches, bi-levels and two-stories with two- and three-stall garages, plus twin homes and townhomes. The average single-family home is around 2,400 square feet. Lots are larger on the west side, with more cul-de-sacs, and some homes back up to the Sheyenne River.

Because most homes are less than 15 years old, buyers here focus on special assessments, builder quality and finishes rather than big repairs.
