Central Superior on one side, Superior Bay on the other
Some choose the downtown lifestyle while others flock to the waterfront; in Central Park, Superior, locals don’t have to pick. Straddling the Minnesota-Wisconsin border, this Superior Bay-adjacent community has a classic suburban layout, and though it measures just half a square mile, there is plenty to do on both the water and land. “Every year, there’s the Dragon Boat Festival, which is always fun,” says Jordan DeCaro of Re/Max Results. “It’s a good little community right next to Barker’s Island.” A marina separates the mainland from tiny Barker’s Island, where locals moor their boats in preparation for the warmer months. Back ashore, blocks of single-family homes give way to small parks throughout, giving the recreational parts of town a more integrated. Central Superior, often referred to as downtown, lies in the opposite direction. Many restaurants along Tower Avenue are available for a quick bite or night out.

An afternoon spent on the edge of Superior Bay
Green spaces and waterfront views are the neighborhood’s two most significant selling points. Summer afternoons are best spent at Central Park, which features a dedicated disc golf course. There are also fenced-in tennis and basketball courts that face 7th Street. Faxon Creek is a small body of water that winds its way through the park, along which locals can take a short walk. A few blocks farther towards the water, folks can try the Red Barn Ice Skating Rink. It might not look like much, but the basin is filled and subsequently freezes over in the cold months, making for a fun afternoon out. Kids will be happy with the playground at Gouge Park thanks to its jungle gym, swings and open space to run around. Just 1,500 feet from the closest house, Barkers Island invites folks to swim at its tiny beach, fish from the pier or walk the Osaugle Trail by the water’s edge. After a long, hot day outside, visitors can check out the Fairlawn Museum and Mansion. This Queen Anne-style mansion offers year-round tours.

Central Park's small lots are home to bungalows and ranch styles
Central Park’s gridded patchwork of residential streets showcases an eclectic mix of home styles.

Two—and three-bedroom builds feature between 800 and 1,900 square feet, priced at $115,000 on the low end and $400,000 on the high end.

A Walgreens also serves the area for prescription needs and home necessities. “The neighborhood is centrally located right off of Highway 2, so you’ve got many restaurants and grocery stores located close to the area,” says DeCaro.
