I'm a single 23-F, moving from Northern MN to the Minneapolis area. I just got a job in the IDS center downtown, and I'm looking for apartments that are close by. I'd love to live downtown, but I don't really want to spend a ton. Do you know of any decent priced, safe apartments that wouldn't be an awful commute, and aren't senior communities or right by the U? I lived in downtown St. Paul during an internship and loved living there, but I'm thinking that commute wouldn't be too fun in the morning. Is the Lakes area nice/safe? Any advice would be very helpful!!!

The lakes area is very nice & safe. You should look into the area around Uptown (which is actually south of downtown) near Lake Calhoun and Lake Harriet.
Apartment Search can help you find a suitable apartment/housing that is within your price range and has all the ammentities you want.
There are also a lot of privately owned apartments/houses that are available for rent. Check the Startribune and City Page newspapers.

the above answer is good,you might also try looking at areas just west of the lakes , there are some new apt buildings going up just west of the calhoun beach club ,and another right on lagoon in uptown, also there is a neighborhood called first alphabet a little further west ,it is full of olde homes and many have been converted to apartments, it is a quiet safe area and a little cheaper than closer to the chain of lakes, also look in the bryn mawr neighborhood, it is about 10 minutes from downtown and is a nice neighborhood as well.
