Unveiling the BEST Places to Live in Minnesota! Top 10 Twin Cities Suburbs in 2024

[@W0rldB0ss]

Hey now, it's us over in Apple valley that has the zoo, not Burnsville.

[@tfl4963]

💯.

[@jeremythompson1973]

This video should be title “Best places to live in MPLS Suburbs” vs Twin Cities.. You are missing some great eastern suburbs like Woodbury, Stillwater, Hudson, WI, White Bear, Lake Elmo or Shoreview..

[@jackmandu]

Hudson is definitely not a suburb of the Twin Cities.

[@dawnkalka437]

East metro?

[@philsathrill1285]

How about a list of the most affordable suburbs.

[@silaswellington487]

How do you skip the entire city of St. Paul? I would understand if this is the best place to live in Minneapolis, but you said Minnesota. On top of that, you include Duluth, which is one of the fastest-growing cities in the US. It seems like this is based off Europe. I totally understand, but you portrayed the video to be more based on actual events, which is odd when you miss so many other cities and focus just on Minneapolis.

[@ItsLeonGreen]

I live in Edina and felt attacked lmao! Moved here in 2021 and never leaving unless I get married then get a house in wayzata. Or maybe I stay in Edina. HOWEVER, I don’t notice the snobby people you speak of! And I don’t think I’m snobby 🥲 we also do have some nice restaurants at the galleria and then also 50th and France!

[@yangzhang1329]

hmm wondering why Roseville was not on your list? It's a very convenient location to every destination in twin cities.

[@Jane5720]

Because it’s just blah

[@MrRmisu]

So Minnesota only includes west of the Mississippi?

[@Lnel3799]

What’s your criteria? Income? Crime rate? The art scene? Good schools?

[@MikeNificent]

Not one suburb East of the river? Woodbury blows most of this list out of the water.

[@mikez4073]

It does? Let me know when a couple major employers move into Woodbury.

[@MikeNificent]

@@mikez4073 That hardly defines what makes a good suburb according to the metrics in this video, or any other metrics for that matter.

[@mikez4073]

@@MikeNificent It doesn’t? A city without mid-large size employers, which spin off 2.2 additional jobs per person, is just a big fucking neighborhood.

[@3434animal]

@@MikeNificent, didn’t suburbs come into existence to get people away from their employers?

[@annewhite3482]

Really? Nothing north or east? I think this list is skewed. Roseville, Shoreview, Stillwater, White Bear Lake are all great and have the added advantage of less traffic than our south and west neighbors.

[@IdgaradLyracant]

(GLARES) The last thing we need is more fucking CA and NY transplants flooding the area. They are a blight and the father away they are the better. But now you blew it and let them know. It's bad enough the hipsters ruined Hugo and Forest Lake but now, now you had to up and paint a giant target on WBL.

[@user-ek9wq2ph7l]

Shhh. Anyone looking to move here should definitely look west of the river.

[@monero2829]

West side is definitely where it's at. The east side should just be part of Wisconsin.

[@markbucher7609]

Painfully obvious you've never gone east over the Mississippi, with the exception of Eagan. Stillwater? Cottage Grove? Hastings? Roseville? Forest Lake? I've got family that lives all over the metro area, from Excelsior, Eagan, South St. Paul, Woodbury, and Cottage Grove. I grew up in the Cities, know them like the back of my hand, you obviously don't.

[@BlueBusssss]

Shhhh, keep the peace in the east

[@gregapplekamp]

Woodbury and Cottage grove has water and land poisoned by 3ms PFA's. Hastings is weird and doesn't really have grocery stores and shopping. The downtown in Hopkins shuts Down early. Everything else you mentioned besides Stillwater is Mid. Stillwater is so remote and disconnected from the rest of the cities. That's why it's not one of the best

[@MNUrkuri]

@@gregapplekampLet’s be more negative. SHHEEESHH!!!!

[@nischalxp]

Hey Jake, Saw you couple of times on my KZbin recommendation page. I must say you make banger videos. Just wanted to ask any potential collab for video editing or thumbnails for your channel?

[@thmm6808]

This guy has NOT lived in Minneapolis area, lived here 35+ yrs and he has no clue on some of these suburbs! Get your facts straight before you put them on line dude

[@Speedierecovery1]

Love EDINA !!!

[@billdeal4254]

Snobs

[@ItsLeonGreen]

Thank you! Haha

[@sarahgirlsoaps]

I love Hopkins.

[@jasonhargreaves1379]

You forgot about Chaska

[@centurybeta2112]

I totally agree! Chan is included, but I definitely prefer Chaska & Carver.👍

[@MinnesotaArcticBlast]

What is your thoughts on Blaine ?

[@MNRick041]

Edina has this dumb reputation but the last 10 years or so theyve built a huge number of apartments in the Southern part of the city bringing in a different demographic as fr as age and income. I dont live within Edina city limits but its one of my favorite spots iin the area, I see a lot of shows at Southdale, theres good dining options, Centennial Lakes park is a great spot for walking or just enjoying a nice day. Theres a ton of shopping, the Convention Grill (Just reopened) is a long time favorite place for locals.... I just can't say enough about Edina. Haters can try to drive around it if they don't like it but good luck with that because several main traffic arteries run right through it. Stullwater should have been on your list. Its one of the greatest spots in Minnesota period. I work in Eagan, near where the new Vikings Center is, its a cool place, most of the shopping and dining the city has is all clustered around the Yankee Doodle interchange, there is the new outlet mall but most of the rest of it is quiet residential and big parks. Its a very bikeable suburb with bike trails along all the main roads, Eagan would definitely be in my tiop 10. Hopkins is neat particularly if you could be walking distance of downtown although it sucks that they closed the discount movie theater when covid started and it never reopened. Golden Valley? I might drive through it once in awhile but don't think I've ever actually done anything there. St. Louis Park is better because they have the West End area. Plymouth, Maple Grove.... No thanks. Woodbury should have been on your list, theyve got a good variety of housing, plenty of shopping, places to eat, parks its overall newer and attractive looking. Bloomington is also good, theyve got a million apartments, lower cost older housing on the East side then larger, more expensive homes on the west side, Normandale park and the lake are beautiful, Hyland Lake Park, endless bike trails, Bush Lake, the river bottoms and more. Bloomington would be in my tip 10.

[@dougprw1110]

Saying the zoo is in Burnsville shows carelessness.

[@margaretphillippi462]

You missed every city in the North and East.

[@laurieyoung8776]

The Twin Cities includes Minneapolis and our capitol city, St Paul and suburbs. This video is extraordinarily biased to the west side of the Mississippi River (where your business must be located). Perhaps you may add places like Stillwater, White Bear Lake, Mahtomedi, Woodbury to your review. Very disappointing

[@POTUSon7th]

Generally the west suburbs are nicer and more consistent.

[@POTUSon7th]

No chaska??

[@colinkulowcreative]

The city in your thumbnail picture is not in Minnesota. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@bigd2144]

hopkins #1 right out the gate... the video is disqualified. 😄

[@ajk5097]

#1 and #2 made me laugh so hard I had to keep watching to make sure this wasn’t satire. Might as well make Near North #3

[@heatherc2059]

Edina is always considered The best place to live in Minneapolis however it is expensive. St. Louis Park and Golden Valley should be the next options. Both have great schools and fortunately they are known for having great schools and great housing but in my list they should be considered immediately after Edina. They are both within 10 to 15 minutes from Edina and both worth consideration

[@MousmiGrover_AOT]

Hi Jake, Commendable effort in taking the time to create this informative video. We run a community of Real Estate Agent Influencers who get together once a week to brainstorm video for Real Estate. Assuming this may be relevant, would you like me to send you an invite?

[@Agent77X]

Edina? Getting the overflow of criminals from next door neighbor Minneapolis now!😮 LOL!😂

[@vutran3758]

You move to Minneapolis, you move to St. Paul, you move to Eagan, you move to St. Cloud, but you gotta earn Edina.

[@beanqween9458]

You mean best suburbs if you're well-off and vanilla.

[@cdav6915]

You forgot Richfield as an up coming area and Woodbury. Other than that, great list

[@billdeal4254]

I saw the first 2 and this guy don't know anything about suburbs. Hopkins and golden valley are slums and a lot of crime. Seriously you haven't researched anything
