Moving to Minnesota - 10 Things to Know

You mentioned a video on the surrounding suburbs… great! I’ll keep a look out for that video! Looking into the area for work and just curious on the areas. (Coming from out of state) 😊

Minnesota looks like an interesting place to live.

I grew up in Woodbury, MN It wasca great place to grow up.

Man! You Oughta Branch your marketing tags out here on the West Coast! Sound quality, music Jingle and drone filming is top-notch! Really cool Channel dude

Some say “cold & aloof” and “passive aggressive” — but I see that as “freedom from small talk with nosey neighbors.” I recently bought a house in Minnesota and it’s wonderful not having to interact with people unless I want to. One of my nextdoor neighbors has NEVER spoken to me. I’m like YES! Please don’t engage with me unless it’s important. 😅 ❤ (Her husband is very friendly and kind tho.)

There's more to Minnesota than the twin cities..... born and raised on the Iron Range, lived and worked in the cities for 10 years. I'll take living up north every time.

11th thing to know, they are essentially Ice Age East California.

Love it. Boston roots heah, but a lot of my life here in Colorado. Love hockey, played it for over 20 years and I know Minnesota would be a great place to live for anyone who plays hockey! Of course. The problem is I'm 63 and I don't know anyone who lives there. All the Minnesotans I know live here in Denver! Lol.

moved myself, my wife and kids to Fargo 2 years ago from california.. now planning to move to moorhead or dilworth after this winter.. here vs cali, i will never want to live in cali again. i love the cold. i love seasons. something i never seen. it was always dry heat. couple min of rain every few months. high rent prices for the crappiest places.. getting out of an apartment into a house, felt unrealistic out there.. out here, that dream is alive and very possible to do. yard for my dogs and kids to play.. witch we have never had.. i can not wait for that time.. until then, we are in an apt. but so much cheaper then cali.. 2000/month for 2bed apt in the "jungle" what we call gang turf. bad areas. dangerous areas. horrible apartments. here im paying 680 for a lrg 2bedroom apt in a nice area. feels so good after growing up in cali, never thinking or feeling we would ever be able to find an affordable house to rent... now that feeling has changed.. its possible out this way. all with a flip of a coin.. we wanted out of cali.. it was either North dakota, heads.. or North Carolina, tails.... and so here we are.. fargo north dakota to make a future for our kids on this side of the world... i miss my mom, sister, her kids as their all still in cali.. but we needed something different. and now, i cant wait to see what we can do out here vs cali..

i always played "grey duck" (i'm in ND) - but we would give colors to EVERY duck. blue duck, red duck, pink duck, GREY DUCK!

oh man, the traffic thing... I lived in Florida most of my life where traffic is absolutely atrocious - living in Minneapolis now and the traffic here is NOTHING! I always laugh when I hear people complain about it because they honestly have no idea.

I remember on a game show that a woman lost because the clue was “ duck, duck ….” and she said grey duck. The audience was ruthless with their booing and no one could believe she didn’t “ know” it was goose.

If you like high taxes including retirement taxes, cold weather, High crime, Passive aggressive, and Mosquitos its a great place for you. I have to admit I love the summers here (June, July, Aug) great fishing , lots of trees, and lakes. Maybe when I retire I will just visit in the summer

You forgot the Nordic Bundt cakes an pans! There’s do much here! I love Minnesota

cant wait to move back when im able

Any recommendations on what part to move to ? I’m moving do to work and don’t know anyone

I’ve been to your state many times, and I have loved it. Duluth and Saint Paul are amazing City’s. I went to Bentleyville in Duluth and somehow I didn’t freeze 😂

You "love the winter", great, you can keep it

My fiancee is from Minnesota and we went up last summer(she came to ohio for college). I fell in love with Minnesota so we are moving up next year. Probably gonna get my real estate license there too!

You mentioned St Paul being a little more lowkey, I'm looking at different neighborhoods but am not from the area. Could you recommend some areas around St. Paul that would feel similar to Brooklyn Park or New Hope?
