  • Q. Can I put up a Fence?

    A. Fences are allowed in Rose Creek but they must first be approved in writing prior to construction. Approved materials are Trex Composite, Bufftech Composite, Cedar, and Aluminum Rail. Golf course lots bust be spit rail cedar or aluminum rail. If a fence is installed without approval it would need to be removed at the owners expense.

  • Q. Can I own an RV, Boat, or other toy?

  • Q. Can I build an outbuilding?

    A. Outbuildings are allowed but, like fences, they must first be approved by the Board of Directors in writing. Please reference the Outbuilding / Shed Guidelines document in the above section.

  • Q. Can I park in the center of the circle?

    A. According to city parking codes, parking in the center of a cul-de-sac or parking perpendicular to the curb can result in a ticket. Any member of the Association may contact the Fargo Police Departments non emergency line to report the issue. We ask that neighbors work with each other before calling the Fargo PD. If you are having a party or other event, talk to your neighbors first to ensure it is ok with them to park in the circle.

  • Q. Why is there a camera at the entrance?

    A. In 2015 the neighborhood voted to have security cameras installed at each entrance to have a record of people entering and exiting the neighborhood. There have been thefts in the past and it is important to know who is coming and going should another incident happen. The footage on the camera can only be viewed if requested by a member of law enforcement. We will not check to see if your child made it home by curfew.

  • Q. Are the covenants legally binding?

    A. Yes they are. The covenants are recorded in the Cass county records and are legally binding. This means that when you purchased a lot or a home in Rose Creek, you became a member of the Association and are legally bound by its covenants.

  • Q. Can I rent my property?

    A. Rentals are strictly prohibited in Rose Creek. Should the board become aware of a rental property, the property owner will be notified and/or fined until the matter is resolved.

  • Q. Is the dike public property?

    A. There are many sections of the dike that were not acquired by the city and are private property. However, the Fargo Park District still owns a lot at 2216 Centennial Rose Dr S.

  • Q. Can I leave my Garbage bin outside?

    A. Garbage and Recycling bins must be kept in a garage or other enclosure to hide them from anyone’s view. Please do not leave your bins out for an extended period of time.

Current Projects

The Rose Creek development is somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 to 35 years old depending on which addition of the development your home is located in. Following is a list of projects that are planned for this year to maintain the Rose Creek neighborhood in the best possible condition. These projects will help with maintaining the appearance of the neighborhood and also with helping to preserve the property values of our homes.

  • Corner of 40th Avenue and 25th Street Landscaping Refresh—This area is in need of a total refresh and is the last of the entrance landscaping projects to be completed. Last fall we had the brickwork repaired and we are now ready to complete the landscaping. The project is to be completed in early June 2026. (Baldwin Landscaping)

  • Spring clean-up/plant trimming/mulch refresh—An every spring project that is currently being completed. (Baldwin Landscaping)

  • Build a Reserve Fund for Future Tree Removal/maintenance and/or Replacement—this is a long term project that will be determined on how long the evergreen trees live. According to the City of Fargo forestry department all of our evergreens (100 trees total) have a needle disease that will eventually lead to the trees dying and will need to be removed and replaced. This will be an expensive project so the board believes that building up a reserve fund will prevent future assessments to accomplish this project. Currently the trees in question with proper maintenance have been doing better than expected. We will continue to monitor the situation.

  • Rose Creek Drive Ash Trees—All the ash trees are targets for the Emerald Ash Bore that is now present in Fargo/Mhd. At our request the city is treating the trees at the City of Fargo expense. Every other tree is treated on alternate years with this project started in 2025 and will continue in 2026. The hope is that we will be able to save those mature trees along Rose Creek Drive. Only time will tell if the treatments will be successful. (City of Fargo)

  • Misc—Fix damage to boulevards in common areas caused by city of Fargo snow removal, some tree removal and tree planting in the Rose Creek common areas based on available funds in the budget. (Baldwin Landscaping)
