Why Live in North Shore
North Shore in Duluth offers a unique blend of natural beauty and modern living. The neighborhood features two waterfront access points: Kitchi Gammi Park, with its beach, pavilion, and swing sets, and Brighton Beach Park, known for its rocky terrain. Hidden Beach at 42nd Avenue East is a local secret, accessible via a trail. Moose Mountain and Hawk Ridge Nature Reserve attract birdwatchers, especially during the migration season in September and October. While shopping and dining options are limited within the neighborhood, a short drive along Voyageur Highway leads to local favorites like Lake Superior Brewing, Sammy’s Pizza, Amity Coffee, and Falastin deli. For more extensive amenities, Downtown Duluth is a 10-mile drive away. Students in North Shore attend highly rated schools, including Lester Park Elementary, Ordean East Middle, and Duluth East High. The neighborhood is safer than the national average, with a low crime risk. Home styles range from less-extravagant ranch houses along Voyageur Highway to modern and contemporary new constructions on large lots, some spanning up to 4 acres. The Duluth Transit Authority does not extend to North Shore, making car travel essential, with the Duluth International Airport reachable in a 17-mile drive.
