Piedmont, located between Miller Hill and the Duluth Heights ridge, is a residential and outdoorsy Hermantown neighborhood with wooded backdrops and a close-to-trail feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the busy corridor of Haines Road and Maple Grove Road, where small service shops and everyday errands set a practical, local rhythm. Housing leans toward mid-century ramblers and split-levels, with newer builds tucked along curving streets. Green space and rolling terrain shape daily routines, with trailheads and parkland nearby. Community pillars in the orbit include Duluth’s Enger Park & Tower, the Duluth Grill, and Bent Paddle Brewing Co.
