If you\u2019re like most people, you don\u2019t know anything about it. Don\u2019t you fret. We will give you the rundown on the state, the good, the bad, the ugly, the opportunity there and even the best places to live if you plan on making the jump (oh, and by way of introduction, we\u2019re Bellhop\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.getbellhops.com\/mn\/minneapolis\/movers\/\">Minneapolis movers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getbellhops.com\/mn\/saint-paul\/movers\/\">St. Paul movers<\/a> and movers throughout the country). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-an-invaluable-but-brief-overview-of-the-state\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"An_invaluable_but_brief_overview_of_the_state\"><\/span>An invaluable (but brief) overview of the state.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At 5.6 million people, Minnesota is the 22nd most populous state in the nation and at 225,163 square kilometers, Minnesota is pretty dang big too. In fact, it is the 12th largest state in the United States. And, while it sports a pretty big population, 60% of its people live in what is called the \u201cTwin Cities,\u201d two gorgeous metropolises we will discuss in more detail here shortly. But, that\u2019s just scratching the surface of this gargantuan state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getbellhops.com\/mn\/minneapolis\/long-distance-movers\/\">Long Distance Movers in Minneapolis<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-the-pros-and-cons-of-living-in-minnesota\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_pros_and_cons_of_living_in_Minnesota\"><\/span>The pros and cons of living in Minnesota.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Minnesota is stunning. We would rank it up there with other gorgeous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getbellhops.com\/blog\/moving-to-washington-state\/\">states we\u2019ve written about like Washington<\/a> and Oregon. But, even the nations most beautiful states have some not so beautiful things about them, too. In this section, we\u2019re laying it all on the table\u2026 the good, the bad and the absolute ugly. We want you to know 100% what you\u2019re getting into by moving to Minnesota. So, with that said, here are some pros and cons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-2-the-pros-absolutely-delicious-food-and-plenty-of-outdoor-activities-to-burn-off-all-those-calories\">2. The pros: Absolutely delicious food and plenty of outdoor activities to burn off all those calories.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest pros of moving to Minnesota is the great outdoors. We mentioned it earlier, but with 5 national parks, 76 state parks and over 10,000 lakes you will never run out of things to do from an outdoor standpoint. Between hiking, biking, trail running, swimming, fishing and boating\u2026 you will have plenty to do in Minnesota. It\u2019s a good thing you will be surrounded with all of these outdoor activities. You\u2019re going to need all the exercise you can get. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Minnesota is a foodie\u2019s paradise. Smithsonian Magazine wrote an article, \u201cWhy every food lover should visit the Twin Cities\u201d discussing how two of the states biggest cities are creating a booming food scene that celebrates both the past and the present cultures that have so heavily influenced Minnesota. And, if you\u2019re not much for the outdoors and not much of a foodie, rejoice in the fact that your state has the largest most extravagant mall in the world\u2026 Mall of America. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a monstrosity, a wonder, a masterpiece. Building it required 13,300 tons of steel and its frame is so absurdly massive it can fit seven Yankee Stadiums or 258 Statues of Liberty in it. Thankfully, it is home to some of the best brands in the world versus spare statues and stadiums. In fact, it\u2019s home to so many stores that if you were to spend just ten minutes in every single one, you\u2019d be walking around the mall for something like 86 hours. Oh, and you will be safe and sound while going about your shopping spree\u2026 Mall of America is so heavily trafficked, it has its own counterterrorism unit.<\/p><div class=\"getbe-middle\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"getbe-1108939169\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getbellhops.com\/book\/service\/\" aria-label=\"The Better Way to Move\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"The Better Way to Move\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" width=\"600\" height=\"160\" style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/600x160.png\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/600x160.png 600w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/600x160-300x80.png 300w\"><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-3-the-cons-a-winter-so-cold-you-might-want-to-cry-of-unbearable-coldness\">3. The cons: A winter so cold you might want to cry of unbearable coldness<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Now for the bad news. Are you sitting down? There is really no way to sugar coat this, Minnesota is horrendously cold in the winter. Those who live far enough North in the state can experience temperatures as low as -60 degrees. That\u2019s cold. Now, to end on a positive note. The summers are incredibly nice in Minnesota and since the state is further North, you\u2019re going to get a really nice break from the crazy heat you might experience in other states we\u2019ve highlighted in the past like <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"\/blog\/moving-to-florida\/\"   title=\"Florida\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">Florida<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-show-us-the-money-a-quick-look-at-minnesota-s-economy-job-opportunity-and-cost-of-living\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Show_us_the_money%E2%80%A6_a_quick_look_at_Minnesotas_economy_job_opportunity_and_cost_of_living\"><\/span>Show us the money\u2026 a quick look at Minnesota\u2019s economy, job opportunity and cost of living.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s get one thing straight, with 60% of the state\u2019s population living in The Twin Cities, if you\u2019re looking to move to Minnesota you should be considering Minneapolis or St. Paul. No, this doesn\u2019t mean other cities and towns don\u2019t have anything to offer\u2026 but what it does mean is that these two giants present the biggest opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-4-the-twin-cities-are-a-hotbed-for-fortune-500-companies\">4. The Twin Cities are a hotbed for Fortune 500 companies.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>St. Paul and Minneapolis make up the Twin Cities. The pair are a pretty fascinating phenomenon. They sit just under 9 miles apart\u2026 they\u2019re so close they could almost be one city\u2026 yet they couldn\u2019t be more different from one another. We will riff on this dynamic duo more here shortly. But, for the time being, what you need to know is that the Twin Cities is one of the most concentrated areas in the world for fortune 500 companies. Massive behemoths like Target, United Health Group, 3M, Best Buy, General Mills and Land O\u2019 Lakes have chosen the Twin Cities to house their corporate headquarters. And this is only a small portion of the 17 massive corporations that reside in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-5-but-you-re-going-to-pay-a-pretty-penny-to-get-access-to-this-opportunity\">5. But, you\u2019re going to pay a pretty penny to get access to this opportunity.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Twin Cities come with a pretty fat price tag. An apartment in Minneapolis is going to run you somewhere around the $1,500 mark. And, while this is quite a bit cheaper than say New York City, it\u2019s still nothing to shrug off. Fortunately, it\u2019s slightly smaller brother (or sister), St. Paul, is quite a bit more reasonable at just $1,200 a month for an apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1880\" height=\"1409\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Nevada\" class=\"wp-image-5413 lazyload\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1880px) 100vw, 1880px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Minnesota1.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Minnesota1.jpg 1880w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Minnesota1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Minnesota1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Minnesota1-1024x767.jpg 1024w\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-where-are-the-best-places-to-live-in-the-land-of-10-000-lakes\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_are_the_best_places_to_live_in_The_Land_of_10000_Lakes\"><\/span>Where are the best places to live in The Land of 10,000 Lakes?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a wild guess\u2026 The Twin Cities. While St. Paul and Minneapolis are often compared to one another due to their close proximity they couldn\u2019t be more different. While either would be a perfectly fine city to call home, we want to highlight a few of their differences, and hopefully, this will help you decide on which of the two twins is the right fit for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-6-if-you-re-looking-for-a-miniature-version-of-the-big-apple-head-to-minneapolis\">6. If you\u2019re looking for a miniature version of the Big Apple, head to Minneapolis.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Minneapolis is magnificent. It\u2019s the birthplace of great talents like Prince and the mastermind behind Charlie Brown. Often referred to as the \u201cMini Apple,\u201d one quick Google search of the Minneapolis skyline and you will immediately understand why it\u2019s seen as New York City\u2019s Little brother. They are very very similar. But, besides the skyline, like New York City, there is plenty to do in Minneapolis\u2026 even in the dead of winter. Minneapolis is home to some solid professional teams like the Minnesota Twins, Minnesota Timberwolves, Minnesota Vikings and the Minnesota Lynx.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-7-at-just-a-stone-s-throw-away-from-minneapolis-st-paul-is-also-an-excellent-choice-too\">7. At just a stone\u2019s throw away from Minneapolis, St. Paul is also an excellent choice, too.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Minneapolis is known for having massive skyscrapers and for being the larger of the two twins at a population of 430,000 people compared to St. Paul\u2019s 300,000. But, St. Paul has it\u2019s own unique romantic charm\u2026 it\u2019s actually been called one of the most romantic cities in the United States. It doesn\u2019t have big skyscrapers but instead wears old Victorian style architecture beautifully. It comes with just as much opportunity as it\u2019s sibling but is better for someone who isn\u2019t interested in the crazy hustle bustle that comes along with Minneapolis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1880\" height=\"2820\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Nevada\" class=\"wp-image-5415 lazyload\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1880px) 100vw, 1880px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/minnesota3.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/minnesota3.jpg 1880w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/minnesota3-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/minnesota3-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/minnesota3-683x1024.jpg 683w\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-final-thoughts-on-if-minnesota-is-right-for-you\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_thoughts_on_if_Minnesota_is_right_for_you\"><\/span>Final thoughts on if Minnesota is right for you.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can brave the winters, it\u2019s worth moving to Minnesota.
