A bayfront neighborhood with railroad roots
Once a blue-collar community anchored by the railroad industry, Allouez-Itasca is today a neighborhood occupied by commuters just outside Downtown Superior. “There’s a lot of history with the rail companies down there,” says Realtor Belinda Sternberg of Century 21 Atwood Realty, Inc. “Rails are a big thing in Superior itself; we have railroad lines that intertwine throughout the whole city.” Train tracks run perpendicular to the neighborhood’s residential streets on its west side, with Allouez Bay to the east. “You’re not living right in town; you’re kind of on the edge, so you can hit Highway 53 and go south,” says Sternberg. Farmland and forests stretch far past Allouez-Itasca’s edge, with Highway 53 offering a straightforward 6-mile commute into Downtown Superior. Residents’ backyards overlook Allouez Bay, beyond which lies Wisconsin Point, a strip of beach separating it from Lake Superior.
Allouez-Itasca has strong historic ties to the railroad industry as shown proudly in this mural.

Spending the day at Wisconsin Point
Unsurprisingly, the bay is the leading outdoor draw for visitors and locals alike. Wisconsin Point is a dog-friendly beach, so locals can take their furry friends for a walk along the water while watching the birds. Swimming is safe since the water quality consistently passes when tested year after year. Interestingly, folks can actually harvest rice in shallow waters, on the point side. What’s unique about the bay is that there isn’t a hefty price tag to accompany the best views. Lakeside Terrace, the mobile home park, is even closer to the waterfront than the single-family homes. Those who want a truly unique view and screensaver can head to the northwestern tip of the beach, wherein lies a rocky strip that juts out to Wisconsin Point Lighthouse. The historic beacon is a hotspot for tourists to catch a great view of passing ore carriers. “They ship the ore down here and load it on huge ships, and the ships go out through the great lakes and drop it off,” says Sternberg. Back on land, Allouez Park welcomes pups and their owners to the tennis courts and outdoor ice rink, the latter being available in the winter months.

Bungalows, ranch-styles and mobile homes are affordable options
The neighborhood’s gridded residential streets hug both sides of the main thoroughfare, stretching no more than eight blocks in either direction. Prospective buyers have two options in this area: traditional single-family homes and mobile homes. Bungalows tend to be from the early 20th century, featuring two or three bedrooms and a simple vinyl exterior. Ranch-style homes are also prevalent and appear in the same neat, simplistic fashion. Pricing for these styles ranges between $100,000 and $270,000, with a median cost of $178,500. This places the community’s homes far below the national average and almost identical to Central Superior’s median price of $185,000. The alternative housing option, mobile homes, is an affordable option clustered in the Lakeside Terrace subdivision. These one-story mobile units with two or three bedrooms fetch just $80,000 to $90,000.

Grabbing the bus into Downtown Superior
The Duluth Transit Authority takes locals where they need to go, passing through both Downtown Superior and Downtown Duluth. More than a dozen bus stops lay scattered along Highway 53, allowing for easy access. The five-and-a-half-mile trip to the University of Wisconsin-Superior takes about 20 minutes, and the connecting five-and-a-half-mile trip into Downtown Duluth takes another 32 minutes. For out-of-town trips, folks can drive the 16 miles northwest to Duluth International Airport.

Casual, locally owned joints around Highway 53
Allouez-Itasca’s restaurant options are fewer and farther between than nearby downtown areas. Locally owned and operated bars and grills show up at the intersection of 50th Avenue and Highway 53. Folks can start their day at The Original Louis’ Café with a classic omelet or plate of pancakes. This spot puts a Greek twist on lunch, serving moussaka, gyros and fresh pitas. “There’s Eddie’s “world famous ribs” on the east side of Superior,” says Realtor Megan Wilson of Re/Max Results. “The cool thing about Superior is you’re not getting chain restaurants; you’re seeing a lot of the local touch.” For groceries, folks can take a short drive or bus ride up Highway 53 to Super One Foods.
