Would no basement be a dealbreaker for you with heated concrete floors on slab? Thinking of building the new construction two story of our dreams with an attached cottage for my mother to age in place that we could later use for secondary income. I know the basement is a classic Midwest essential, but I have been done wrong by mold and moisture one too many times; causing me to no longer desire one. Using high quality materials for my family’s health, but also wondering does this sort of house have resale value? Planning for a three car garage and storage shed if your only worry would be storage

Eta: okay good input folks. Would a 3.5 car garage with storm shelter underneath be satisfactory for the tornado enthusiasts and storage freaks? We also have too much stuff, I’d just rather have it in an outbuilding than a basement.

Hi everyone!

So I’m moving to Minnesota in like 2 weeks and I need help.

I’m looking to live close to the MSP airport which is where I’ll be working. I was told to look in places like:

Richfield, Bloomington, Eagan, Eden Piere, West Saint Paul, Burnsville.

I’ve been shying away from places northeast of the airport because I think someone said they’re bad areas? I’m a single woman, without pets and would prefer a diverse area. Somewhere I’d feel safe going for a walk or a run. Please enlighten me because I’m still unsure. I’ve looked at apartments in the NE and they said their cars got stolen so, I’m looking for a few things:

1. Garage parking!!!! I heard the winters are bad. At least worse than NY and I park in a garage here.

2. In unit washer and dryer or at least the hookups

4. Again, somewhere close to the airport where I can get to my job within a maximum 15 minute drive.

I’m on a budget because my job starting pay isn’t that great (early 20s) so my budget is $1300 max after utilities and everything. Preferably lower. So if anyone has ANY info that can help, I’d be grateful!

Hi! I’m looking for recommendations on where to live in Minneapolis! I’m thinking downtown or in Uptown. If you have neighborhoods, buildings or any other advice that would be great!

Here’s some about me / what I’m looking for:
- Young female, living alone
- From Minnesota
- Walkable!!!!
- Places to run
- Food, coffee, grocery store
- Free (?) guest parking options … this might be a stretch in the city
- Amenities (gym, etc.) or no amenities at a cheaper price … But also if I’m paying for amenities I want them to be quality …
- Hoping for $2,000 after parking, etc. (studio or 1 bed)

And my take aways so far:
- I toured the Lucille and the other Solem properties in Northeast. I didn’t love the area, not much around? But maybe I need to get closer to the stone arch bridge (if that’s even North East still)? I also didn’t like the buildings/units.
- I liked the location of the Ellory in the Mill District.
- I kind of liked Uptown? I toured a place closer to the lakes that I really liked, but I’m not sure the main area is for me.

I haven’t been to the North Loop yet. I’m from Minnesota, but haven’t spent much time in the city! My requirements are all over the place, I’ll take any advice!!!

Hello! Recently moved to southwest Minneapolis from out of state. I have a dog and we are looking for a new vet. I have a very severe cat allergy, so bad to the point I can’t be in a waiting room with other cats or be in an animal patient room where a cat recently was. I have severe anaphylactic reaction to cats even after years of allergy shots.

Does anyone know of a vet in the area that only takes dogs and not cats? Exotic animals like birds, bunnies, reptiles etc are also fine.

My fiance can take her sometimes and this has helped but if she needs a last minute vet visit where I need to take her we need some other solutions.

Thank you!
