Locals of Hermantown live near regional attractions without the hubbub
Hermantown is a primarily residential suburb located 150 miles from the Twin Cities and down the road from Lake Superior. “The main reasons people move to Hermantown are its great school district, it’s a wonderful place for family, and it’s a suburb of Duluth — so the yards are bigger, and it’s quieter,” says Realtor Nicki Conrad with Messina & Associates Real Estate, who has 30 years of experience selling in the region. With Interstate 35 a few miles away and Duluth International Airport right next door, Hermantown residents enjoy accessibility and convenience. However, the area’s back country roads and large properties provide privacy and seclusion.
Hermantown is a residential suburb with newer housing developments and spacious lots.
Hermantown is situated just a short distance from Lake Superior and the city of Duluth, offering all the resources of a larger city with the family-friendly feel of a suburb.

Newer housing options in Hermantown than in Duluth
Apart from 55-plus manufactured homes, the market mainly features single-family properties. “Duluth was built in the early 1900s by lumber barons, so if you’re looking for newer developments, you’d come to Hermantown instead,” Conrad says. “Duluth has historic woodworking homes, whereas Hermantown has newer construction from the 1970s through the 2000s.” Some roads have a rural feel, with towering trees serving as a barrier between properties. Other streets are more densely populated. Single-family styles range from modest ranch-style homes and Cape Cods for $230,000 to $600,000 to farmhouses and contemporary builds on dozens of acres for $700,000 to over $1 million. Manufactured homes sell from $35,000 to $110,000.
Many roads in Hermantown have a rural feel, with homes nestled within private, tree-lined lots.

Along with fast-food spots, the community includes plenty of independently owned restaurants. Valentini’s has served authentic Italian dishes in the Duluth area for over 90 years. Beacon Sports Bar & Grill is one of the few dining options in the center of town, away from the highway. Open since 1960, Beacon has been a go-to spot for viewing sports and live music on the weekends. It also features an adjacent field for adult softball leagues and cornhole tournaments.
