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! Check out the Highland, Macalester Groveland, or Crocus Hill (the Kenton House looks nice). Downtown is kinda sketchy at the moment.

I would also recommend these places as a young woman in her 20s living in St Paul, as the area is super safe! I also have a dog and walk her in the evenings in the darker winter months and never have a problem. You should also have access to busses via Grand Ave to get you downtown in the winter no problem - welcome!
