Quality of Life
Central Iron Range Family Life
The advantages of living in small cities are numerous: smaller
populations allow for closer ties to neighbors, law enforcement,
educators and health care providers, helping nurture positive
relationships, cooperation and security. A strong faith community,
small schools and active volunteers make it easy to be involved in the
life of a Central Iron Range city. Many local and regional events are
family-centered, and there are many ways the entire family can enjoy
the great outdoors: from beaches to bike trails, sporting events to
children's fairs. Just 70 miles from Duluth, the Central Iron Range
offers easy access to the amenities of a big city and immediate access
to the north woods wilderness. Despite proximity to area mines, the
region enjoys high air quality and unmatched visibility for stargazers.
