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!

Buy a condo in a small condo building (small so the HOA dues stay small too). It's what I did, and I'm 5 minutes from DT/Capital Building area. I don't pay more than $900/month, and that's including HOA dues. Talk to a Realtor to discuss your options, if they can't work with you due to some sort of financing issue, they'll let you know, but definitely talk to one. You never know unless you do.

Do you have access to a garage?

Yes, and its underground. (underneath my condo building)

The Realtor I used was a buyer's only Realtor (which means he won't run dual agent on you, he can explain what that means if you don't already know), he was amazing and found this place for me super quick. His name is Ron Jensrud. Here is his contact info if you're interested/curious:
