Fargo, North Dakota.

Driving through South Fargo shortly after arriving home for the summer, we passed a small retail development that I was to learn is called Woodhaven Plaza. The area around this development is filling with new houses and apartments. What I found interesting is the design of the retail storefronts. The appearance is old-style “downtown” where each small section of building is designed differently from the next section.

On the opposite side of the retail space is a collection of residential spaces, two story townhomes and third floor condos.  In addition, there are apartment rentals. The residences, like the retail space, appear to be separate buildings tied together in an apparently haphazard fashion.

At the Woodhaven Plaza website, they market the downtown atmosphere. “…live in the same building as you bank, drink coffee & enjoy conversation with friends just down the stairs from your home.”

It will be interesting to see how this neighborly neighborhood fares in the long term.
