how is it to live in downtown minneapolis?
I am moving to Minneapolis soon and will be working in Woodbury. I am single and hence do not really want to live in a suburb. I was wondering how is it living in St. Paul or Minneapolis downtown. St. Paul would be much closer to work but if Minneapolis downtown living is much better then I would not mind the commute. Please help. Thanks.

Honestly I wouldn't live downtown. The city is nicknamed "Murderapolis" for a reason, plus your housing will be much more expensive downtown. I'd probably choose a suburb or a nearby city of Woodbury...because Minneapolis to Woodbury is about 45 minutes with no traffic. Check out Oakdale. It's right by Woodbury.

There are cool neighborhoods around the U of Minn..Not much downtown at night except homeless people.

Wow, Downtown Minneapolis is not that bad. If the nickname of Murderapolis exists, it is because of North Minneapolis, not downtown. Given that, downtown isn't good enough to live there if you need to go to Woodbury. It isn't a 45 minute drive without traffic but it's a good 25-30 minutes. Live cheaper and use the extra money for cabs to woodbury.
