what's the best/cheapest/safest burb to live in if you don't mind a commute?

I don't know about "best" but Roseville/Lauderdale/Saint Anthony Park are really close in Northern Minneapolis suburbs. Location is good and prices are better than the hip Minneapolis neighborhoods. Totally safe in my experience as well.

Apartment hunting thread! I'm having the hardest time finding a place right now. NOTHING seems to exist in Longfellow, and I'm starting to think my dream of an in-unit washer/dryer is unattainable. Boooo, moving.

Ooo, I hadn't heard of Longfellow but it looks like a great location! Is that why you picked that area? I've been looking in Seward and having no luck also.

I was thinking about Roseville area maybe, because it has a restaurant I really like.

As far as crime, I'm from a city that is/was always at the top of the most dangerous cities list and is super gentrified, so by safe I really mean "where will I not get robbed on a daily basis."

Roseville definitely falls into that category. Which restaurant is it? I have a friend in Roseville who's selling her house, just in case you're thinking of going that route.

This really is the saddest C/O in all of TLS.

Untrue. There are at least 13 other C/O threads with less engagement/excitement than ours. Plus, Minnesota=awesome. Too early to be going negative, don't you think?

Hey, if anyone is looking for a roommate, head to the class of 2019 Facebook page! I found a cool 2 bed, 2 bath not far from the law school.

Found a pretty legit, little pad on the border of Merriam Park and Macgroveland. Looks like I'll get to have my dream and bike everyday.

Also, if anyone wants to buy a car hit me up, Fit 5-spd manual, comes with a free yakima roof rack.

Crossing the river! Brave! I'm pretty excited for my place in Phillips. Only a 15 min ride in. I just saw that the city bikeshare only runs 7 months a year though, which is a bummer since I probably won't have my own until I get a chance to drive it down from my hometown.

What's the deal with Highland and/or Macgroveland? Legit, or naw?

I live in that area and really like it. Well, technically I'm in Snelling-Hamline but basically the same. Brand new awesome Whole Foods on Selby and Snelling, a few good bars/restaurants on Dale and Selby (Cathedral Hill) - Salt Cellar, WA Frost, Moscow on the Hill, Happy Gnome, Muddy Pig, Sweeney's. Everything else on Grand Ave.

Easy to get everywhere.

What restaurant is that? I work in Roseville and feel that it is pretty lacking in dining options.
