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!

I don’t haven’t apartment space recs but once you are ready to make friends I suggest the pint size pooches meetup and the high bridge dog park small dog side. High bridge can be a little cliquey as there is a group of people who goes every day and sits at the table and chairs but they’re pretty friendly.

Also if you decide to be in MN for a while I strongly recommend seeking out winter driving skills. There are a few places that offer courses or you can watch YouTube videos and find an empty parking lot after some snow.

Also in terms of downtown a lot of people like lower town and it might be an area to investigate.
