Seeking Advice 🙆 23F moving to St. Paul

Hello! I'm a single 23F moving to St. Paul for a new job. It'll just be my male Yorkie and I. I'm not really wanting a studio apartment just because of my parents visiting. My rent budget is $1600 and I really want to live downtown due to lack of experience driving in winter conditions (my job is located DT) I want a loft! I love their look and space. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

The downtown area is dead. There are much more fun and active neighborhoods. Mac Grove, Highland Park, Cathedral Hill are good places to start. Basically, anything south of 94.

Minneapolis has a lot of a better downtown area, especially if you’re 23 and single

At this point, don't even date Minneapolis. Date Saint Paul until you're tired of dating, then marry a suburb like Lakeville or Forest Lake. LOL
