Cody is neatly parsed into wide open green spaces and established homes
Bisected by a railroad track with parks on one side and housing on the other, Duluth’s Cody neighborhood has a straightforward layout. Large open green spaces are met with extensive hiking trails and picturesque views. On the residential side, homes appear on lots less uniform than in a traditional suburb, yet more cohesive than in a rural community. “With an area like Cody, it’s not as busy or heavily trafficked by tourists,” says Realtor Megan Wilson of Re/Max Results. “People want somewhere where they can get away.” Despite the abundant opportunities to get outdoors and connect with nature, residents aren’t as far as one would think from the conveniences of town. Restaurants and retail stores cling to Grand Avenue, a main thoroughfare that runs southwest to northeast along Cody’s south side. With Downtown Duluth and Central Superior virtually equidistant, Cody residents have an easy time commuting in either direction.

100-year-old homes priced well below the national average
Cody’s residential streets aren’t a perfect grid but instead seem to get absorbed by the tree line at the neighborhood’s edges. Lot sizes vary slightly, but rarely do they reach even a quarter of an acre. “It’s an older neighborhood, so you have a lot of 100-year-old properties and the more two-story traditional homes,” says Wilson. Bungalows dating back to the early 20th century are set close to each other, some tightly packed as if they were townhomes. These three- and four-bedroom builds fetch from as low as $110,000 to $290,000 on average. Distance to Grand Avenue varies, but some homes are no more than 300 feet from the nearest restaurant or up to a maximum of half a mile.

Weekends spent at Quarry Park and Sky Zone
Locals can easily find an excuse to get outdoors to spots close by, like Quarry Park, which has a few disc golf baskets scattered throughout and trails for hiking. One thing worth absorbing during a short hike is the elevated rock faces and cliffs, which make for impressive views and screensavers. Just a bit north sits Brewer Park, a large area comprised of open green space and wooded trails. It is common to hike, mountain bike, and bring pups along for the panoramic views of Duluth. Back in town, folks can have equal fun indoors at the Sky Zone Trampoline Park. They take group reservations for kids’ birthday parties. Alternatively, there’s the Duluth Public Library, which is open weekdays only for a quiet afternoon read.

Grabbing a bite at the strip mall
Several of Cody’s restaurants are fast food chains. Locally owned sit-down spots, such as Sammy's Pizza Palace, appear in the strip mall on the south side. The rustic booths offer a simple setting for a slice. For more significant portions, there’s China King Buffett. Wussow’s Concert Café is an interesting little joint that serves all beverages, be it coffee or cocktails, in a narrow dining area. The small soundstage at the end hosts live music acts. Fresh meats and produce are available at the Whole Foods Co-Op on Grand Avenue.
There is a convenient strip mall with a number of retailers near Cody.

Utilizing the Duluth Transit Authority
Navigating Cody is quite simple, owing to the clear division between homes and parks. For trips into Downtown Duluth, there are several bus stops scattered around the shopping center. The five-mile bus ride from there into Downtown Duluth takes about 35 minutes, and the trip into Central Superior takes almost three times as long by bus.
