in this area is above average. There are many newer, larger

CENTRAL DULUTH
Central Hillside, Central
Business District
The best housing in the area can be found west of Mesaba
Avenue. There are areas of substandard housing on the
eastern side of the roadway. Portions of the entire area are
in need of major renovation or complete demolition. There is
little land available for additional development. Residents
generally oppose multifamily development and prefer to
reserve the smallest number of single-family home sales. |
North Shore
There are above average
housing conditions in this neighborhood. The housing is
considered to be rural in nature with little or no
multifamily housing. There is a large number of adults and
married couples without children in this area. Residents
often have higher incomes and own their property. Some areas
are not served by public utilities. This is one of the areas
which accounted for the smallest number of sales in Duluth
from 1990 to 1993. |

Piedmont Heights, Duluth Heights
The housing supply is
in good condition, but there are indications of deferred
maintenance on the west side of Duluth Heights. There are
some new subdivisions such as Crystal Tree and Ponderosa
Groves. Area residents have concerns regarding the intrusion
of commercial development in the Miller Hill Mall area. Most
residents want to maintain low population density and "green
space." High demand and new residential construction result
in high sale prices. The abundance of available land
increases the likelihood of further residential
construction. |

WEST DULUTH
Fond Du Lac, Gary New
Duluth, Morgan Park, Smithville, Riverside, Norton Park
The housing supply in these area is in relatively good
condition. Some homes show evidence of deferred maintenance.
|
EAST DULUTH
East Hillside, Endion
The housing in the area is in average condition. Many homes
are well maintained, but others require significant repair.
It consists of mainly older housing a smaller multifamily
structures. The street conditions are poor and require
further paving in Endion. Many larger family homes were
converted to rental units over the past few years. The
average sale price increased the most in this area due in
part to the construction of many new homes. |
Park Point
The housing in the
area is in relatively good condition. There is a good mix of
new and older unites, many of which are expensive. There is
a little land available for additional development.
Residents have a strong sense of community and are resistant
to the building of rental units. Sale prices are high due in
part to the proximity of Lake Superior. |
CLOQUET
Cloquet is located
southwest of Duluth on the St. Louis River. More than 11,000
people live in Cloquet. |
|
West End
The housing supply is
well maintained toward the top of the hillside, but some
deferred maintenance can be found toward the bottom. Some
newer, larger, more expensive single family homes are
located along Skyline Parkway and Exhibition Drive. Many
homeowners are remodeling, repairing, and refinancing their
homes indicating they are likely to stay in the West End.
Little land is available for residential development other
than scattered, vacant lots. A significant amount of housing
was built before 1940. |
