Just 30 minutes northwest of Fargo, in Arthur, ND, a new development that offers the best of both worlds is taking shape—Pearson Pond. Here you will find the quiet charm of country living and the convenience of nearby urban amenities.
Pearson Pond is a project brought to life by developer Rick Burgum- not as a commercial venture, but as an opportunity to showcase the wonderful community of Arthur. Thoughtfully planned and carefully designed, Pearson Pond welcomes everyone from young families to retirees.
Big Lots, Big Value
One of the best features of Pearson Pond is its lot sizes. Each lot spans approximately an acre or more, offering a scale that’s nearly impossible to find in the city, especially without premium price tags. Unlike some developments in the metro, Pearson Pond has no special assessments and even includes a two-year property tax abatement on new constructions.
“You get a lot for your money,” said Operating Manager Julia Asprey, who has worked with Burgum on the project since its inception. “It’s quiet, it’s beautiful, and Pearson Pond has been designed to suit people and families of all stages of life.”
The development currently has 30 total lots, with a number of homes already under construction, including a spec home that offers prospective buyers a tangible vision for what living in Pearson Pond could look like.
Built for Living, Not Just Housing
Each home is positioned to avoid backyard neighbors, which helps create a sense of space and privacy without isolation. A central water feature—the pond itself—adds natural beauty to the landscape, while a walking and biking path links the development to Arthur, eliminating the need to use Highway 18 to get into town.
“There’s a real sense of connection here,” said realtor Matt Zimmerman, who’s handling sales for the lots through Property Link Realty Group. “It’s rural living with a community feel.”
Pearson Pond is located within the highly regarded Northern Cass School District, making it an appealing option for families looking to move beyond Fargo without sacrificing educational opportunities or city conveniences. The easy 30-minute commute makes it an ideal home base for those working in Fargo, Casselton, or anywhere in Cass County.
Small Town, Big Opportunity
Arthur may be small, but it’s far from sleepy. With a grocery store, pharmacy, bank, restaurant/bar, and many other small businesses, the town punches above its weight in services. “You’re not in the middle of nowhere,” Julia said. “There are many small towns that don’t have the level of business activity or community engagement that Arthur has.”
Whether you’re a family looking to build your dream home with room to grow, a couple seeking a slower pace without sacrificing convenience, or someone who’s simply looking for more value in a beautiful setting—Pearson Pond has something to offer.
