    "Live on a quiet dead end, have a wonderful view of the lake and aside from a few bumps, overall have had a pleasant neighbor experience. "
  • Mel
    "We’ve lived in the neighborhood 10 years- it’s close to everything. Before having kids we would regularly walk to downtown and canal park. It’s also close to hiking and biking trails. "
  • Alexa H.
    "The commute is very nice being that I am very close to Mesaba Ave. The hills and roads are very rough though and aren’t maintained in a good manner. "
  • Nalani D.
    "Depending on the time of day, be careful cause sometimes you have some “interesting” people out and about. The sidewalks are also not kept up very well, especially in the wintertime. Otherwise it is a half ways decent area to walk your dog, from my experience that is. "
  • Jaime J. H.
    "I lived in this neighborhood several years ago. It's conveniently located near downtown and is on the bus line making it easy to get around. "
  • Trulia User
    "I work from home, so there is no need to commute, but it would be a very easy commute to the downtown area etc. "
  • Jane H. C.
    "Million dollar views with middle class affordability. Hidden gem of Duluth. Watch 4th of July fireworks from a deck, children biking in the street, and parents walking strollers to Enger Park. It's like "Cheers" except everybody knows the name of their neighbor's dog! "
