Heard of areas like downtown, uptown, north east, dinkytown, etc. which area would be best to live in considering rents, restaurants, bars/parties, activities, etc?
Come to California! You're young! Now's the time!
If you are in tech, don't move to Minneapolis is your best bet.
I am in data science/stats area. Have to move for now to progress my career.
Uptown sucks
Avoid Dinkytown unless you’re in College. Try the North Loop or Uptown.
Depends on what you like. I've lived downtown off of 9th. North loop off Washington. Seward by Luce's, and NE by some small side street near Broadway. If you're into breweries NE, Clubs North loop (close enough to hit up warehouse district and DT). Dinky if you're into the college scene. Uptown if you like the burb feel but want to be in the city. That's my opinion. Cheap rent go to the first ring burbs.
Thank you!
