    Ok so I was in town this weekend looking for a place and was looking all over the city and burbs. I was wondering if anyone had any insight on the areas

    Stevens Community
    128 E 18th st Minneapolis, MN
    (The only issue would be parking there is currently a waiting list to get a spot in the lots. good rate though 835/month utilties incudes minus electric)

    Bristol Village
    7301 Bristol Village Drive Bloomington, MN
    (town home good size just seems a bit far out from the city alittle more expensive then steven but i have a single car garage)

    225 W. 28th St. Minneapolis, MN
    this condo is actually for sale but I'm trying to maybe get a rent to own deal.

    so basicly i saw the area for a short time but its kinda hard to say what its really like.

    any thoughts?? discuss

    This is a pretty ****ty neighborhood.
    I use the Ace Hardware that's about 3 blocks away, and I worry about leaving my car there for too long.

    What are you looking for and what's kind of rate are you looking for.

    thanks for the heads up i was looking for something around if not under 1,000 a month. Trying to save as much money as possible for buying a place in the future as well as have spare change to work on the car. I just got a phone call from the people doing the application for the bristol village place and some how got the address of some of my apts I rented back in college with some friends.... lets hope they dont call some of those place

    I live in the Laurel Village Complex on Hennepin.
    My rent's slightly above $1000/mo on a 1 bedroom. They have (slightly) cheaper stuff and some studios.
    Heated parking $60/mo more.
    Park in my spot and I'll cut you.

    Get drunk and stagger home FTW.

    I talked to those guys looked like a decent place... some people complained about the staff on some apartment rating sights. the only problem is i need a den or a 2nd bedroom to use as an office. Nice thing i dont have to worry about traffic for my drive to work every morning bad thing i have to have a slightly bigger place.

    Yeah, i saw those complaints, but they seem like sour grapes.
    Never have had an issue. If something breaks, fixed same day.
    But yeah, 2BRs here are not that cheap.

    Wayzata Woods. I live there and its really nice. Not sure what you're exactly looking for, but for a nice 2br apt in Wayzata (really really good neighborhood) for under 850.... Can't really complain. Underground parking available too. Also its a drunken stumbling distance from Lunds and a Chipotle, too. haha

    I don't know if the area of the 28th street that that condo is like this, but a huge number of prostitution arrests come from 28th Ave
    At minimum, drive by at like midnight.
