Central Superior is where convenience meets the waterfront
As its name implies, Central Superior is in the middle of it all. Nearly all the restaurants and shops cling to the two intersecting thoroughfares, Tower Avenue and Route 2. The neighborhood is colloquially referred to as downtown, and with good reason: Downtown Duluth lies seven miles north and Superior Bay two miles east, not to mention the convenience of what’s already in the neighborhood. Though anchored by a retail presence at its core, Central Superior remains a suburb that, when venturing a block or two in each direction, reveals residential streets knitted seamlessly alongside its small businesses. Homes dating back to the early 20th century show their age a bit, but buyers won’t be paying the price for owning established builds. These single-family homes feature updated interiors while retaining much of their vintage exterior look and are priced at a fraction of Downtown Duluth’s price. In addition to the manly yearly events in town, folks have Superior Bay and Superior Lake at their disposal for afternoon fun.

Dining out and snagging groceries in town
One unique characteristic of Central Superior is that not only are its eateries easy to find, but they tend to be locally owned and operated rather than chains. There is no one style of cuisine, either. Locals can start off their morning with something savory or sweet from Superior Waffles or head to KD’s Family Restaurant for more classic breakfast plates. When Saturday arrives, 7 West Taphouse has the burgers and brews covered in their casual, near-rustic dining and bar areas. For groceries, folks head to Super One Foods in the middle of town. Onion and potato enthusiasts can shop at Vee’s Produce, which is known for its quality and freshness.

Early 20th century bungalows and duplexes are familiar styles
Central Superior’s single-family homes appear on suburban-style blocks, interspersed around the thoroughfares’ intersection. Homes closest to said intersection have the added benefit of walkability to nearby restaurants. Lot sizes are quite modest, averaging about a quarter of an acre. Styles include duplexes and the classic bungalow, with most having been built between 1900 and 1950. Despite their antique charm and sometimes renovated interiors, pricing remains a comfortable $130,000 to $300,000. Buyers considering Downtown Duluth instead would struggle to find any housing for less than the maximum of this range.

Fun on shore and by Superior Bay
Superior Bay is the clear winner for attractions, but Central Superior has its own fun to offer. Hammond Park, though no larger than a block of homes, is a fun spot where kids can swing, slide and run around. There are also picnic tables and canopy fit for hosting a small group. Sports enthusiasts can stay active at Wade Bowl Park’s open-air basketball half-court, baseball dugout and ice-skating rink. The latter is only available in the winter months when water is added to a dedicated basin and allowed to freeze. Just a couple miles east, folks have several ways they can spend the day on the water. A sunny Saturday might include swimming at Barker’s Island Beach, playing a few rounds at Capt’n J’s Miniature Golf or casting a line into Pickle Pond. The crowning waterfront challenge, however, is the Dragon Boat Festival. Every August, teams form and compete in the classic Dragon Boat Race on Lake Superior, as well as a 5k Fun Run and Tug of War. Participants and passersby can refresh at the food trucks and stick around for the award ceremony.
Hammond Park is within walking distance to homes in Central Superior.

Accessing nearby areas is easy with the Duluth Transit Authority
Central Superior residents can utilize the Duluth Transit Authority bus system to access nearby areas. About half a dozen bus stops line Tower Avenue, which runs from north to south. The buses will take locals from one of these stops along Tower Avenue north into Downtown Duluth, a commute that lasts about 38 minutes. The six-mile trip only lasts about 13 minutes by car, although traffic does become congested just past the John A. Blatnik Bridge.
