Older homes contribute to East End's charm
Known colloquially as “OId Town” for its 1853 origins, East End is a community with old bones amid modern conveniences. Route 53, the thoroughfare which separates this community from Lake Superior, takes commuters straight into downtown. Neat residential blocks interlock as close as 500 feet to the lakefront. “In East End, you’ve got a mix of some of the oldest homes in Superior and some of the 50-year-old homes as well,” says Realtor Megan Wilson of Re/Max Results. East End shows its community vibe through an annual event known as Family Fun Days. Once a year, families convene towards the end of summer for a day of raffles, rummage sales, games and a pet parade. “It’s more about the little events,” says Wilson.
East End Family Fun Days is held in August.
East End is sometimes called “Old Town” because of its 19th century origins and vintage homes.

Fun on or near Lake Superior
Lake Superior hugs the neighborhood’s eastern edge, inviting locals and visitors for weekend fun by simply crossing the street. Barker's Island, at about a mile in length, connects via a short causeway, offering everything from a beach, to a marina, to a prime fishing spot, to a maritime museum to a hotel and conference center. It's also encircled by Osaugie Trail, which continues along the mainland's shoreline in both directions for pedestrians, cyclists and joggers. Also back on the mainland, Washington Park stretches across Fifth Street into two general parcels. One is an unmarked green space, and the other is a dedicated playground area. Carl Gullo Park shares a block with the plain green space, providing two tennis courts and a basketball court.
Carl Gullo Park has an ice-skating rink open during the winter months.

Casual bites and dives walkable from the waterfront
Locals have few options for dining in the immediate area but can easily grab an afternoon drink at Pudges or Hudy’s Bar along 5th Street. These two dives are within walking distance of the Super One Foods across the street. Culver’s and McDonald’s appear on either side of US Highway 58, offering quick bites just a few hundred feet from the waterfront. The closest sit-down restaurant option would be Guadalajara, a Mexican restaurant serving plates of chicken, rice and beans. “When you get farther east, there’s Gronk’s, known for its upside-down burgers, and Eddies World Famous Ribs,” says Wilson. Super One Foods is centrally located for convenient grocery shopping.

No-frills single-family homes in East End
Narrow residential streets form a grid through the neighborhood, extending to within sight of the lakefront. These streets offer little room for street parking. Although the area has sidewalks on nearly every block, they are also pretty narrow. Lot sizes average about 5,000 square feet, on which modest cottages, bungalows and ranch-style homes sit. These early-to-mid-20th-century homes fetch between $120,000 and $300,000.

Chilly weather brings concerns
Like many areas on or near the Great Lakes, Duluth carries winter weather concerns with it. “Lake Superior is a weather maker,” says Realtor Tom Acton of Re/Max Results. “Because of the wind coming off the lake, you keep a jacket in your car year-round.”
