Moving to MPLS

Made a post a couple of days ago about moving and looking for a place in South Minneapolis. Appreciate everyone that replied and helped.

Moving to MPLS soon and looking at places on the south Minneapolis area. Budget is 2k for a studio or 1br. Narrowed down a couple of apartment choices I will be checking out/booking appointments to view, but just want to see if anybody has any insight having lived there/no anyone that has (ie management company, responsiveness to issues, etc).

Currently looking at:
\- Parkway Place and Risor in St. Louis Park
\- The Gateway at West Lake and Foundry Lake Street in West Maka Ska
\- Daymark, The Bohen, and the Asher in Uptown
\- Kolo in East Harriet
\- The Akin in Lyndale

Thanks

Moving to MPLS

Hey everyone. Moving out to Minneapolis in about a month. I don’t really have much insight into the city/neighborhoods, currently live across the country but looking to make some viewing appointments and visit the city in a couple of weeks. Really prefer these things more than others:

- An area that is safe and walkable. I have a medium sized dog that I like to walk early in the AM and late in the PM. Nearby parks are a huge plus, especially with walking trails.
- Would like to be an area that is a bit lively/active street life. Would like to be close to or within an area with divey/local bars, comedy shows, trivia, music/arts, restaurants, etc that I don’t have to drive to.
- I love using public transit for getting around so being close to that would be a plus, especially ones that go to the north loop and northeast areas.
- Looking to rent for now. Prefer an apartment with good amenities. However, wouldn’t mind condo/house/townhome etc if the area they’re in better fit the above.

Looking for something in an area in the attached pic as I’ll be working predominantly in the Edina/Armatage/Richfield area. Budget is up to 2k for a 1 bedroom.

If anyone has any recommendations for an area that fits some/all of those, even if it’s an area not in the pic but nearby, I’d really appreciate it. If anyone has specific names of apartments they’ve lived in, would be great so I can reach out to them and set up an appointment.

Moving soon, would appreciate some recs

Hey everyone. Moving out to Minneapolis in about a month. Got a new job and things happened very quickly. I don’t really have much insight into the city, particularly where to live. Currently live across the country but looking to make some viewing appointments and visit the city in a couple of weeks. I’m going to be working on the UM campus and need to be within 15-20min max driving distance of the campus. Really prefer these things more than others:

- An area that is safe and walkable. I have a medium sized dog that I like to walk early in the AM and late in the PM. Nearby parks are a huge plus, especially with walking trails.
- Would like to be an area that is a bit lively/active street life. More of a homebody, but would like to be close to or within an area with divey/local bars, comedy shows, trivia, music/arts, restaurants, etc that I don’t have to drive to.
- I love using public transit for getting around so being close to that would be a plus.
- Looking to rent for now. Prefer an apartment with good amenities. However, wouldn’t mind condo/house/townhome etc if the area they’re in better fit the above.

If anyone has any recommendations for an area that fits some/all of those, I’d really appreciate it. If anyone has specific names of apartments they’ve lived in or realtors they’ve used, would be great so I can reach out to them and set up an appointment. Any other recommendations for what the city offers is also appreciated.
