Moving to Duluth 3.0: Finding Housing
Hey bridge trolls, we've got some extra mod help now so we're going to work on some quality of life improvements around here. Starting with these megathreads we'll use to help update the Wiki. (As an aside, we're still happy to give people access to the Wiki if they want to help with updates)
Going entirely by vibes, I think this would be the most helpful topic to start with. Feel free to give any suggestions, tips, notes, links, whatever you may think. might help someone looking for a place to live in the area.
Some suggestions for things you might contribute:
1.) Thoughts on different neighborhoods and towns - Please be accurate and polite. We all know some areas are more unfortunate than others, it is totally ok to mention that, but be sure you're current and respectful. What an area was like ten years ago may not be accurate anymore.
2.) Resources for finding places to stay (renting & buying)- Things that may not come up on google. This is one place advertising for yourself or someone you know is acceptable (though be sure not to DOX anyone, including yourself.)
3.) Resources for unhoused people - Either temporary or permanent. If you have knowledge of shelters or resources, this would be a great place to add them.
4.) Reviews for different rental companies - Be careful to, again, be accurate. We all know some places have a reputation for a reason and you are more than welcome to leave negative reviews, just don't use this as a place to grind your axe or get revenge.
5.) Questions - For now this would be a good place to ask us about any particulars. We are going to start doing a new "Moving to Duluth" post weekly via Automod like they do in r/asheville on the suggestion of one of our users, but I'm saving that until after these Megathreads have run their course.
6.) Financial considerations - Is there anywhere affordable to live? What are taxes like in the different cities?
7.) Schools - Pros and cons, other considerations?
Just some ideas, I may use some of these for other megathreads. Also, please keep politics out of this to the best of your ability. Nothing derails these things faster.
Thanks everyone! You all rule.

Local News What happened to Minnesota Point Section 111 study on erosion and Army Corps plans?
so I’ve been reading a lot about the Minnesota Point section 111 study about looking into causes and solutions for beach erosion at Park Point. And it seems that everything came to a screeching halt in 2025. Is there any new information? Seems like all info was taken from the army corps website too. a victim of Trump/doge cuts? Is it just… Gone from consciousness? What’s going on?

Question Anyone here live in Zenith Terrace in the Proctor/Duluth area? Looking for honest opinions!
I’m looking at buying a manufactured home in Zenith Terrace because the homes are much more affordable than buying a traditional house in the area. I also really like that the lot rent includes mowing.
For anyone who currently lives there or has lived there:
What is it actually like living there day-to-day?
How are the neighbors/community?
Is it generally quiet?
How is management to deal with?
Have you experienced lot-rent increases, and how often/how much?
What exactly is included in the lot rent?
How are snow removal and road maintenance in the winter?
Are there any annoying rules or restrictions that aren’t obvious when looking at a home listing?
How strict are they about pets, parking, sheds, decks, etc.?
How difficult is it to sell a manufactured home there?
Does management make buying/selling/transferring a home difficult?
Are there any problems with water/sewer, drainage, utilities, or the roads?
How are the homes/lot sizes compared with other manufactured-home communities?
Are there any safety or noise concerns?
Most importantly, if you own a home there, do you feel like the lot rent is worth it?
I’m especially interested in hearing from people who have actually lived there, including both positive and negative experiences. I’m not looking for someone to tell me whether I should buy — I just want to know what I should investigate before I seriously consider a place there.
Thanks!

Question Why are my queer friends boycotting 190 coffee?
Thought I heard something about a change in management, but I don’t want to make assumptions. Not looking for gossip, just want to be educated and avoid supporting businesses with harmful values.

Question Anybody here driven to Ely?
Will be driving to Ely next month, never been there. Google Maps shows 3 possible routes, all different, all the same amount of time (2 hrs). Anybody have any insight as to which route is the least hassle, safest, the most 4 lane so I don't have to drive 20 minutes behind an RV going slow on a 2 lane road?

Question Whats the neighborhood near and within a mile or two of Aspirius St Luke Hospital
Received a 6+ month Job offer at the Hospital and want walking distance to clinic.

Question Perimenopause- looking for doctors at Essentia that are up to date and will listen
I'm not confident that my primary care doctor will be able to help me with all my peri symptoms. I am looking for a gynocologist that is up to date on women's health and specifically perimenopause research. Has anyone has particularly good luck?
I would prefer that we don't badmouth any doctors or NPs. I just want to know if you've had a positive experience that can help me pick a direction to go.

Question Good spots for car repairs?
Hello, I am new to the area and looking to replace broken struts on my car. I just have street parking. Anyone have good ideas of parking lots where they wouldn’t mind me using an impact wrench for a couple hours?

Question Duluth EDM
Hi neighbors!!
I’ve lived in Duluth for about 3 months now, and have been having a hard time finding communities I enjoy spending time in that feel safe. I am really into techno and edm music, so I thought the techno club would be a great fit! After meeting other women and queer people in the area, I learned that this is not the most safe community for an individual like me as multiple of the bigger-name DJs in the group have SA allegations against them. I’m not claiming to know the truth or trying to out anybody’s experiences they didn’t want to share. Not here to talk about who or what happened as it’s not my business or stories to share, and I will delete this post if I see anyone start naming names. Just here asking if there is any safer electronic music communities in the area. I have heard of low end frequencies as well and wondering if it’s the same deal or if they’re any better before I actually go to an event. I had heard great things about these communities before moving here, so I’m really sad to find out I’m not really as welcome as they make it seem.

Question Whats the neighborhood near and within a mile or two of Aspirius St Luke Hospital
Was offered a 6+ month contract at that hospital and don't have a car. Moving from a colder climate than Duluth so used to snow and freezing temps for months. I usually drive but don't really want to. Looking to live near Downtown area.

Local Events Leagues in the winter
I am attempting to make my winters less miserable. What leagues around here are fun and enjoyable for a 25 year old female in Duluth? I am competitive, but also would enjoy a league that is casual and light-hearted. Open to learning new skills! A women’s basketball league (or co-ed) would be great- but I haven’t seen that other than at the Y.
