Views of the lake matched by an outdoorsy lifestyle
The outdoorsy lifestyle of East Hillside, an elevated shoreline community, overshadows others like it outside Downtown Duluth. Locals occupying the suburb’s early 20th-century homes make the most of their neighborhood, whether tending to a plot in one of the community gardens, playing a game of football at Grant Park or dipping into Lake Superior. Simple, neat streets complement the area’s familiar single-family home styles. Like many of its sister suburbs, East Hillside’s commuters don’t have to travel far; in this case, a maximum of two miles by car to Downtown Duluth or nine miles to Superior. For many, convenience is just a bonus, while the real charm lies in the neighborhood’s elevated terrain. “Duluth is all on a hill, so you get these views of the lake, which are really beautiful,” says Realtor Brok Hansmeyer of Re/Max Results.
East Hillside is densely populated Duluth neighborhood on the edge of Lake Superior.
Quiet benches make Leif Erickson Park a great place to get into a good book.

Fun in the community gardens and on Lake Superior
Locals have a distinct advantage over their neighbors across the John A. Blatnik Bridge. “Superior has access to the water, but there’s just a lot more accessibility to the water in Duluth,” says Hansmeyer. “You have the lake walk, which is several miles long.” Walking the edge of Lake Superior eventually reveals Leif Erikson Park, known for its small, open-air stage with its back to the water. Portland Square Park is centrally located, offering a playground, walking paths and a pup-welcoming policy. For something sportier, folks head to Grant Park. This green space is just large enough to fit a football field and basketball court. Community gardens are between these two parks and throughout the rest of the area, a popular pastime for those with and without green thumbs. The Duluth Community Garden Program manages 21 community gardens across greater Duluth, most measuring 400 square feet. Those who’d rather admire flora than plant their own can drive to the Duluth Rose Garden. Home to more than 3,000 rose bushes and several winding paths, the garden is a free, relaxing way to spend a spring or summer afternoon.
The Rose Garden in Leif Erikson Park, Duluth, includes a stone fountain and 3,000 roses.

Bungalows and traditional-style homes hailing from another century
Most of East Hillside’s landscape comprises gridded residential streets surrounding Grant Park. Light gray streets -- paved in concrete for better winter durability -- blend neatly into narrow sidewalks. Few homes have individual driveways, so street parking is essential. Evenly spaced lots measuring less than a quarter of an acre display bungalows and traditional-style homes built during the early 20th century. The National Register of Historic Places designates some of these homes as historic buildings, a factor reflected in their architecture. “It’s an older part of Duluth, as in pre-World War II,” says Hansmeyer, “so you get the character with things like the hardwood floors, but you also get older plumbing and electrical.” Most of these homes average between $150,000 and $300,000.
Rows of homes are often elevated from the roads throughout East Hillside.
There are a variety of historical home styles to be spotted in East Hillside.
