About working in minnesota/st. paul Minnesota living in Wisconsin

working in minnesota/st. paul Minnesota living in Wisconsin?
So i've been looking around at apartments and this is the first time i will be moving AHHHH lol no but im excited but i really want to move to minnesota and transfer with salon there but i see that alot of apartments are in wisconsin i see that the cities that are on about a half hour drive. i guess my question is do alot of people do this? i cant afford some of the apartments in st. paul as they are around 1500 or more just for rent not including utlities, and i can live in wisconsin and rent a 3 bedroom house for the price of a studio there. lol i know it seems too good to be true thats why im asking if there is a catch?

Answer 1 :
Do you need three bedrooms? One problem with living in one state and working in another is state taxes. Another is the commute. Summertime is usually no problem, but winter can be tough. Try looking here for some reasonably priced apartments. http://www.apartments.com/Minnesota/Twin-Cities/EastSuburbs
Answer 2 :
Yeah, I've heard of people who do that, but I never would. It is really unpleasant commuting that far in the winter, not just because of the weather but because of the dark. When the days get shorter in the winter you can get kinda tired from all the darkness and you just want to get home fast rather than be stuck driving. Driving is really, really slow, in bad weather, too. The happiest of us have an apartment or house really close to work. It's just people with families who move out farther
