A Duluth community with a bright future
Situated just north of the Minnesota-Wisconsin border, Central Hillside is a Duluth neighborhood that brushes against downtown and the waterfront. So named for being geographically uphill from downtown, this community dates back to the roots of the Duluth townsite of 1857. Central Hillside’s impressive views of Lake Superior and its access to parks might lead one to think the area is a bustling metropolitan one, but this is not the case. Crime and homelessness were points of concern in the early 2000s. To uplift lower-income families, locals partnered with the city to build and/or renovate more than 300 supportive housing units, rentals and condos between 2008 and 2011. One secondary motive for this outreach was to mitigate crime across certain blocks. Understanding that this is just the beginning, Lutheran Social Services broke ground on a 27,000-square-foot community center in 2016. Named the Center for Changing Lives, this mixed-use property opens its doors to some 800 unhoused youths year after year. The Center offers job training and life development skills to give residents the best possible chance.

Connecting with neighbors at Central Hillside's parks and community gardens
Just as the Center for Changing Lives is central to the community's health, the local parks are inseparable from daily life. These tiny green spaces are surrounded on all sides by homes and have views that only this lakeside community can deliver. Cascade Park features a playground for the kids and a tiny gazebo for the adults to seek shade. Kids can head to the Hillside Sport Court Park for a ball game. The park offers two fenced-in basketball courts just 250 feet from the community garden. Half a dozen community gardens lay scattered throughout, and though their footprint is small, their impact is not. They are part of a larger concept, the Duluth Community Garden Program, which aims to ingratiate neighbors and educate them on the practices of growing healthy foods and decorative bulbs.
Hillside Community Gardens dot the streets of Central Hillside and Duluth Minnesota.

Downtown Duluth is within walking distance
Mesaba Avenue, a two-way thoroughfare, winds along the community’s west side. At the northwest corner, this forms an intersection with Rice Lake Road and Central Entrance Drive, allowing easy access to most nearby areas. For those not driving, the Duluth Transit Authority has locals covered with bus stops throughout. The trip into Downtown Duluth is actually walkable, taking just 10 minutes across a half mile. The bus ride takes five minutes from the 4th Street and 2nd Avenue intersection. Folks can also take the transit from Lake Avenue to the Duluth International Airport, a 10-mile trip that lasts 45 minutes.

Grabbing a bite and stocking up on groceries in Central Hillside
A handful of restaurants are available on the northeast corner of the neighborhood. Round Up Bar and Grill is directly adjacent to the 4th Street Community Garden. This spot serves burgers in baskets and domestic beers on tap for a hole-in-the-wall feel. For an equally authentic experience in a diner setting, folks head to Uncle Loui’s Café. The vibe is casual, and breakfast lovers can have their favorites hot and ready all day. One block away is a Whole Foods Co-Op for all the grocery essentials. If meal planning isn’t in the cards, shoppers can serve themselves from the hot bar and soup station. The Co-Op also offers curbside delivery if a trip to the store isn’t feasible.
Central Hillside's Uncle Loui's Cafe was voted the best Hangover breakfast by UMD students.

Bungalows and ranch styles from another century
Nearly all the homes in Central Hillside are modest both in their construction and price. Vinyl-sided bungalows and tightly packed townhouses are the two predominant home styles. These fetch between $138,000 and $310,000. Two or three bedrooms is the usual accommodation, with duplexes being a rare exception. Surprisingly, the most expensive housing in Central Hillside isn’t the new construction; it’s the oldest homes that have since been gutted and remodeled. Bungalows and townhouses hailing from the turn of the nineteenth century now sell between $310,000 and $715,000. A few apartment complexes are available to renters on the south side for a mid-rise lifestyle. Income-restricted complexes sit on the northeast end near 4th Street and 6th Avenue.
