Minnesota
is awesome, and Minneapolis is certainly one of the most fun cities in the state!
North Loop, Linden Hills, and Whittier are ranked as some of the best places to live in
Minneapolis
. However, if these neighborhoods don’t tickle your fancy, the city has a diverse range of areas to choose from.
Below are some factors to consider before selecting the best place for you in Minneapolis.
  • Commute time: The distance from a neighborhood to your work will greatly affect your day to day. If you plan to drive to work, a neighborhood convenient to work would be a good choice. If you plan to take transit to work, make sure the neighborhood has routes that reach your destination.
  • Lifestyle and vibes: Every neighborhood will have its charm. For those who want to be close to all the action, living near downtown would be a good choice. Those who prefer a quiet lifestyle should consider suburban areas.
  • Cost of housing: Some neighborhoods will be more expensive than others. Look up the average cost of housing to help you narrow down your options—especially if you have a budget in mind!
  • Crime rate: Check the crime rates of the neighborhoods you’re interested in. Not only does it affect your safety but also the cost of your home and
