Thirty years ago, I drove into Duluth for the first time. I grew up on the Minnesota-South Dakota border, so when I came over Thompson Hill and saw the lake and the hills I was quite literally blown away by the beauty of this place. A few years later, I moved here with the sole intention to be in Duluth; it felt like where I belonged.
I know you will feel that way too. After all, Duluth has so much to offer, from its miles of mountain biking and hiking, to the amazing live music at Bayfront Festival Park, to its great golfing and snowmobiling. It’s home to amazing events like Grandma’s Marathon, the Duluth Airshow, and the Bentleyville Tour of Lights. Duluth is a place where our lives are colored by the woods, water, and hills woven into our lives. Duluth’s indoors are pretty great too! Our world-class schools, our cutting-edge restaurants, and our thriving economic base. We have a booming world-class healthcare industry, well-paying jobs at Cirrus Aircraft, and higher-education strongholds like St. Scholastica, the University of Minnesota – Duluth, and Lake Superior College.
But, the most valuable asset Duluth has are the wonderful people that make this city an amazing place to call home. Join me, and the City of Duluth, on this journey to bring the ideas, creativity, and energy necessary to ensure a prosperous future for Duluth.
I hope you find our city as welcoming and full of promise as I have. May you find not only a house in Duluth, but your home.
Sincerely,
Roger J. Reinert Mayor of Duluth
“Duluth. There is no place I would rather live, work, play, and raise my family.”
With eight hours left to drive to my new home, as my daughter’s cat’s yowling and my young son’s perpetual requests/questions… “Are we there yet?” “I want to stop and eat,” “I have to go to the bathroom.” (again!?!)… set the backdrop to my wandering thoughts, I found myself imagining if it would be possible to find our fit in this new place. And if so, how?
I was leaving a city and home I loved, driving to a house I had purchased sight unseen, and moving to a neighborhood I had never visited, in a city and state I had only been to once. I was excited, nervous, and EXHAUSTED! Exhausted from the months of packing and preparing. Exhausted from the long to-do lists and lack of sleep. But mostly exhausted from the emotions of saying goodbye to longtime friends, co-workers, and family members. Moving gave me a realistic perspective and appreciation for
anyone going through a relocation process.
As a real estate professional since 1998, I decided to create this guide to help acclimate individuals moving to the Metro Duluth area and to offer an overview of what life here is like.
I have an unapologetic love for this city. I take great pride and joy in showcasing Duluth, and I value every opportunity to welcome someone new.

ABOUT THE COVER
This is a photo of the John G. Munson arriving to Duluth on a frigid morning among the sea smoke. On this particularly morning in January 2024, I ventured down to Canal Park to shoot the sunrise with the North Pier Lighthouse as my intended subject. Just as I was packing up my camera gear, I saw the Munson had lifted anchor and was making her way to the piers. I braved the conditions a bit longer to capture this image. As is so often the case, some of my favorite images come at the most unexpected times.
