Where to live in northwestern part of Minneapolis?
I am relocating to Minneapolis and don't have much time to look for an apt. What are some clean safe areas in Minneapolis and where should i 'stay away from'? I am working in Maple Grove as well as some days at a downtown location so I am wanting somewhere between there.

You may want to look at apartments in St. Louis Park or Uptown- both are right on the edge of the city, so you'll have access to all the fun stuff and the (somewhat crummy) public transport to downtown. But you'd still be on the edge of the suburbs, so it's quieter and a little safer/cleaner/etc. NE Minneapolis isn't bad either- although you do get a lot of spillover from the college crowd. That could be either good or bad, depending on your lifestyle.

Just today found a great website that lists the towns in Minnesota and what makes them good or bad. (1st link) so that you get an idea. If you are going to be working in Maple Grove, stay in that area. Otherwise, too much travel time. Go to craig's list (2nd link to exact category---Maple Grove is 3rd link) for an apartment. Just scrolled through them and everything looks a bit expensive for one person---4th link an apartment complex. Don't go to Brooklyn Park or Brooklyn Center---go west instead to Plymouth or Crystal, etc. or Minnetonka or Hopkins (or get out a map and put in the names of cities by Maple Grove for a search on craigslist.... you want to be WEST of Highway 100 or even Highway 169 and NORTH of 394---394 would get you into downtown Minneapolis.) Happy Hunting! PS Went a bit crazy looking for apartments on Craigslist. It's YOUR turn to click....LOL
