I've been living in St. Louis Park for the past 3 years and have enjoyed it quite a bit. We get Comcast and Qwest DSL here for internet. You really aren't much more than 5 miles from downtown and there are plenty of alternative transportation options (buses, carpooling, bikes). The Greenway goes right through SLP and into downtown if you are into that. Rent is cheap for me also, I pay about $450 for a room w/ private bath and a couple of roommates in a house. I'm sure you'd be able to find something in this area that is inexpensive and works for you.<br>

><br></div>The type of housing would be a small rental house where I'd have freedom to install antennas outside for amateur radio. I suspect that new neighborhoods wouldn't be for me, as they tend to have larger homes (more expensive) and CCRs (which would prohibit outside antennas). Older neighborhoods, on the other hand, tend to have smaller houses and are less likely to have those CCRs.<br>
<br>I don't know where I'll be working in the years to come, but I think I can avoid long commutes if I live in a central location (Golden Valley, St. Louis Park, Minneapolis). I wouldn't want to live in Burnsville and have to commute to Arden Hills or live in Maple Grove and have to commute to St. Paul.<br>
