Which is better to live in St. Paul, Minneapolis or suburbs?
I'm a young single professional that will be working near the capitol in St. Paul. I'm moving from a small town out of state and have never lived in a large city before. Living near work is important to me as I have dogs and would like to be able to run home during lunch. But people have been telling me I should live in Minneapolis because it's a lot more fun.

Answer 2 :
you could do both,live in Minneapolis as it is much more fun,and live either down town or uptown, either one and you will be in a fun spot,and the commute to st. paul is still pretty short, although downtown will be the shorter of the two, you wont be able to go home for lunch, but you won' be too bored living in st.paul either , good luck....I live in minneapolis
Answer 3 :
YES live in Minneapolis. its a great place
Answer 4 :
If you're from a small town, Minneapolis may be intimidating to you at first. Still, it is a fun place for young professionals like yourself, with several different neighborhoods to meet your needs. If you have dogs, it is harder to find a place in the city, especially with a decent yard. I have a dog and live in Mpls right now and there are a lot of parks/lakes to walk, even some dog parks. The suburbs are OK--they tend to get very quiet if you're ok with that. Same with St. Paul, pretty quiet. You might like living somewhere around the Grand Ave/Summit Ave area in St. Paul. There are some nice restaurants/bars on Grand and it's a pretty nice area.
Answer 5 :
It all depends on your priorities. Living in the suburbs you will be able to get a nicer place for your money with a larger yard but with traffic will not be able to run home during lunch. Minneapolis has a great nightlife, but expensive to live downtown and you wont have much luck finding a yard and even in Mpls you'll really be cutting your time short if you are trying to drive there and back to St. Paul during lunch. St. Paul has its OK areas, you'll be able to get to your dogs, and twin cities rush hour is horendous so living close to work is ideal but either city has its crime and rough areas whereas the suburbs are more affluient. It all depends on what you are looking for and how long you plan to stay there
