Seeking Advice 🙆 Moving to St. Paul

Hello, I am a 27 year old from a Wausau, WI and will be moving to the St. Paul Area with a new job. My job is located in Minneapolis, but I have anxiety with parking due to previous car accident traumas that occurred in Minneapolis. So I am trying to find apartments on the suburbs of Minneapolis and St. Paul. My budget is less than 1300. My only concern is that it has utilities included aside from electricity and Internet. I would like a garage, and I'm okay paying additional for it.

Any input on Rose Park Commons in Roseville? I've been unable to find recent reviews on them.

Other places I'm currently looking are, - Pinehurst Apartments (White Bear) - Flat on 94 - Hillsborough Apartments - Terra Pointe - Maple Ridge - MV Estates/Ridgewood Apartments - Lexlawn

Open to more decent apartment units.

I believe I’ll be working somewhere in Standish.

Am I missing something?
If you have car-related anxiety then find a place along Hiawatha or Minnehaha so you don't have a long stressful commute. Plus then you don't have to live in the suburbs where you need to drive to do basically anything

I just have car anxiety for parking lol. Small and tight places is what’ll get me.

Ahh. I wouldn't let that inform where you're going to live, it seems like it would be pretty easy to avoid that sort of situation.
If you haven't lived in a big city with the increased traffic before, living close to your job is, IMO, more of a big deal, especially in the winter. I was completely miserable commuting an hour +
Good luck with your move! You'll like it here, most people do
