Grew up in
Minneap.
Suburbs on the up-and-up: Plymouth, Bloomington, Eagan,
basically anything with a good school district.
Good place to live as
a young adult: Dinkytown, anywhere near Target Center/middle of
downtown (but this may be pretty expensive)
Try to avoid St. Paul;
not as much going on there, and Minneap has been the home to most
cultural and social events since the 1950s. If you can live near the
light rail lines, you can get to most major events relatively
conveniently, so that's pushing a lot of suburban sprawl along the
lines.
Western suburbs in general are for yuppies/upwardly-mobile
(save for Plymouth, which has reasonably-priced, yet cookie-cutter
housing), while the eastern suburbs are economically stagnant. North is
geared toward younger families/couples without kids (Maplewood, etc.;
you'll be pretty conveniently-located to Minneapolis), while southern
suburbs are for most middle-class, established families (save for Edina,
which is also pretty yuppie; they're known as cake-eaters by most
suburbanites, along with Wayzatans, although Wayzatans tend to be
slightly more subtle with their money, so it's harder to tell where
they're from just by looking at them). |
