Rating 4.06 out of 5 16 reviews
I think that Minneapolis does a beautiful job of incorporating nature and scenery, and it's really nice that there are so many parks and lakes easily accessible.
Great with lakes and parks. The winter is cold but is minnesota. Traffic and snow removal I give a B. It was alot easier to get around 10 yes ago but with so many more cars it's a growing concern. The people for the most part are considerate and friendly.
It is a great place to live! Within walking distance of many different activities. The one thing I do not like is the snow emergency system. I was under the impression that cars would be towed if they were parked on the wrong streets for certain days. However, I have only seen them plow around those cars leaving a mess where the cars were parked. Also, when they plow the main streets that first day of the emergency they tend to block off my side street with a wall of snow. Very inconvenient since those are the only streets we are supposed to park on that first day.
