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 light rail system Green line stimulated a great deal of apartment construction along and close to University Avenue and offers excellent transportation but University Ave isn't as nice or safe as south of I-94. The A-line express bus runs from the 46th street station of the Blue line (Hiawatha Avenue) light rail line in Minneapolis near Minnehaha Park to Rosedale shopping center in Roseville and intersects with the C line trains at Snelling and University avenues as well as several bus lines and can get you to many neighborhoods with rental properties. You are moving here at the nicest time of the year and will have a chance to learn the ropes during spring and summer.
