West Duluth

As with the rest of the city, the housing stock tends to be very old by American standards, with a large percentage (most likely a majority) of homes having been built before 1939.

On a map, the core of West Duluth's "downtown" or center of activity roughly forms a triangle, with the sides being Grand Avenue (State Highway 23), Central Avenue, and Bristol Street in Spirit Valley.

West Duluth's Spirit Valley business district is easily accessible from Interstate Highway 35 at Central Avenue.

An exception to this is the Bayview Heights neighborhood, where students attend Proctor's public schools.

The Spirit Valley Days festival takes place every August in West Duluth.
