how is it to live in downtown minneapolis?

I am moving to Minneapolis soon and will be working in Woodbury. I am single and hence do not really want to live in a suburb. I was wondering how is it living in St. Paul or Minneapolis downtown. St. Paul would be much closer to work but if Minneapolis downtown living is much better then I would not mind the commute. Please help. Thanks.

Moving to Minneapolis, 30 year old single women, wants to know what areas i should look at for apartments?

I would like to be able to walk to shopping and restaurants. Not big into bars and nightlife, but will not know anyone in town, so i want to be in an area the i can easy meet other people. So probably not in a suburb where it would be harder to meet people. willing to spend 1200 on rent, want to be in a safe area. any suggestions from some locals would be great, thanks.

What can anyone tell me about these Minnesota cities?

My hubby’s company is offering him a relocation and we wanted to move anyway. Out of the states listed, we thought Minnesota would be the best. We are still not sure if we want to move there, but was wondering what anyone can tell us about these cities.
We want to know if they are nicer cities or trashy kinda cities, what the crime rate is like, if they are more city like or more suburb like or more small town like or a combination, what the shopping and entertainment is like, what the school system is like, the whole 9 yards. And your own personal opinion too.
Thank you in advance.

-Brooklyn Center or Brooklyn Park
-Eden Prairie
-Bloomington
-Coon Rapids
-Chanhassen
-Blaine
-Chaska
-Burnsville
-Shakopee
-Prior Lake
