Stunning views and river access tempt Duluth's commuter crowd
Adjacent to Downtown Superior, Billings Park allows easy access to metropolitan areas while remaining an outdoorsy retreat. The lure of the water on the west side attracts residents to gridded streets that morph into cul-de-sacs closer to the banks of the St. Louis River. Likewise, those looking to enjoy their time in the neighborhood's namesake park also come for the green space and nearby gardens. “It’s a beautiful place; the sunset views are incredible over the St. Louis River.” says Realtor Megan Wilson of Re/Max Results.

A true waterfront lifestyle awaits buyers
Residential streets follow the natural curvature of the terrain, giving way to Billings Park and other green spaces along the river. The park itself has a boat launch area and 12 accompanying parking spaces. From here, locals can make their way onto the St. Louis River, which separates Minnesota and Wisconsin and flows into Lake Superior. “A lot of people like to fish,” says Realtor Corrine Hobbs of Edina Realty. “People just like to boat around the lake.” If fishing on the river doesn’t sound appealing, folks can set up on its edge at Brandons Fishing dock. The pier is easy to miss, making it a secluded spot to cast a line. The Children’s Memorial Garden offers a serene place to reflect or read. Those looking to have a leisurely walk can check out the Japanese Friendship Garden, a paved path with benches, Japanese-inspired stone architecture and river views. Thecommunity rests on the north edge of Superior Municipal Forest, a 4,400-acre nature preserve offering extensive hiking, canoeing and wildlife-watching experiences. Furry friends are welcome to run free at the Superior Dog Park.

Bungalows are less pricey here than in Duluth
Housing in Billings Park is relatively straightforward, offering prospective buyers two clusters from which to choose. Most of the neighborhood’s inventory lines the gridded streets towards its center, around Cooper Elementary. Bungalows from the late 19th and early 20th centuries tend to fall on smaller lots, some very nearly touching as if they were townhouses. “There’s a lot of older home architecture, and I like how people have brought restaurants and coffee shops into the older buildings,” says Hobbs of some of the mixed-use enclaves These homes have since been renovated, showcasing a modern yet predictable vinyl siding and front porch aesthetic. Pricing in the middle of this suburb ranges from $150,000 to $270,000. Closer to the water, buyers will notice ranch and prairie-style homes from the mid-20th century to brand-new construction. Consequently, builds closer to the water fetch between $100,000 and $650,000.

Locally owned restaurants have brought a new vibe to the neighborhood
The dining scene in Billings Park is largely casual, boasting locally owned spots with few chains in sight. The past two decades, in particular have been kind to small business owners in and around Superior. “I remember when I first got into real estate 14 years ago, and Tower Avenue really started investing a lot of money into rebuilding the area,” says Wilson. “It’s created a culture where local businesses have been able to open and thrive.” Just south of Route 2 sits The Shack, a dive spot serving burgers and wings to match its laidback atmosphere. This is about the extent of dining in the immediate area, with several more options along Tower Avenue downtown. One is Superior Family Restaurant, a diner-style spot serving classics and comfort treats for breakfast. Locals can grab beer and burgers one block south at 7 West TapHouse. The place also serves tacos and salads. “Wissota Chophouse has really good steaks, appetizers and cocktails. It’s a classy vibe over there,” says Wilson. For groceries, folks shop at Super One Foods, a large warehouse-style supermarket. A Walgreens also serves the area for prescription needs and home necessities.
