Living in Duluth
Duluth sits on Lake Superior as a mid-sized port of roughly 82,000–87,000—the Zenith City, billed as America's Best Outdoor City and Minnesota's Craft Beer Capital. Life orients to the seven-mile Lakewalk, Canal Park's Aerial Lift Bridge, Spirit Mountain, the Munger Trail, Hartley Nature Center, Park Point, and Hawk Ridge. Locals steer newcomers to West Duluth (Denfeld and Spirit Valley)—flat, quiet, among the safest—plus Lakeside-Lester Park and the UMD area; Congdon and the hillsides are steeper classic Duluth, with cheaper homes 10 minutes away in Superior, Wisconsin. Housing sits well below national medians but is extremely competitive. Commutes average about 15 minutes in a car-dependent city (Walk Score 36); winters are long, snowy, and hard on driving. Eat in Canal Park and the Lincoln Park Craft District: Duluth Grill, Northern Waters Smokehaus, Fitger's Brewhouse, At Sara's Table. Clinics and hospitals are called pristine and there is a medical school, yet wages feel low, poverty and homelessness are visible, and the city sits two hours from the Twin Cities.
