The Jefferson/Carl Ben neighborhood was originally spilt into two neighborhoods. The Jefferson Neighborhood was the north half, and the Carl Ben Neighborhood was the south half. It gets it name from two of the schools that are located in the neighborhood. Jefferson Elementary (1923) was replaced with a new elementary school building (opened 2007) and Carl Ben Eielson Elementary was replaced with Carl Ben Eielson Middle School (opened 2006). The former Agassiz Middle School is also located in the neighborhood (along University Drive). The housing stock is a mix of owner-occupied and renter-occupied housing. The area enjoys convenient access to a number of parks and services in both downtown Fargo and along the 13th Avenue and University Drive corridors. The Main Avenue commercial district borders the north side of the neighborhood and accounts for some of the mix of uses that is seen between Main Avenue and 2nd Avenue South.
