Why I chose Minnetonka over bigger cities
My partner and I are Poverty rate is 2.5%, which is pretty low. You can expect to pay around $1,758 for rent here. The unemployment rate is 1.5%, which is pretty low. With a population of 53,256, Minnetonka is a smaller city. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The weather takes some getting used to.
Pros:
- Easy commute
- Lots of new development
- Walkable downtown
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- High property taxes
- Boring for young people
- Poor road conditions
- Not enough green space

The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Property taxes are high but you get good services.
