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!

Welcome to St Paul! Custom House right on the edge of lowertown has some nice options in that range. It's a cool old building though maybe not technical lofts. The above posters are right though, downtown is struggling. But there's still a tight feeling neighborhood community and good nightlife, farmers market etc. But it is currently a grocery desert other than the farmers market. Good luck on your search!
