Where in Minneapolis Should I live?
Hello everyone,
I will soon be moving to Minneapolis for work, I just graduated college and am starting my career. As I do not know anyone that lives there and have only been there for a very short time a long time ago. I need help
I am looking for a nice area, that is safe for a city!(I know it is a city but I am looking for the safer areas for a 24 year old single women) I will most likely rent for the 1st year or less than look to buy. I would like to rent a house or townhouse. As I have 2 big dogs that need space to play(fenced). I can spend 0 to 00 a month on rent
I am not a huge nightlife person but being somewhat close would help. I would like to be around people that are in the same stage of life of me. However I am a little bit of an old soul! The the typical 24 isn’t really how I act.
Names of the area or zip codes would be a huge help in my search!
Thank you everyone

You might want to consider the suburb of Bloomington. It is close enough to Minneapolis and offers so much for your age group. You can also hop the light rail into downtown anytime you want…..It is where the Mall of America is, has great shopping and dining and is also close to the airport.
Shoreview 55126 isnt too far from St Paul or Minneapolis. It is about 5 miles from the Rosedale Mall, is quiet, and the Lakeshore Apartments off Harriet are quiet and a block away from Lake Owasso. There also are some condos people rent right across the street for cheaper than the apartments. I used to live in the apartments and now I live in the condos. Condos-1 bedroom, free heated garage spot for about $675-700 I guess it depends on who you rent from. The apartments are about $700 plus. The area is def safe, about 1 mile from grocery and Target and freeways. Cheap and good quality. St Louis Park isnt bad either, it is closer to Uptown and downtown Minneapolis 55426. There are more college-type people living in that area. Check out Shelard Village off Ford Rd.
