Moving to Minnesota

The upper mid-west of USA houses a state also known as the ‘Land of 10,000 lakes’, known to us simply as Minnesota. It is the 12th largest area, but ranks 22nd in terms of its population. At least about half of its residents live in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area, known to its residents as the ‘Twin Cities’ while the other parts of the Greater Minnesota include Duluth, St. Cloud Moorhead and Mankato Rochester.

The topography of the state that comprises of its western prairies, has now been taken over by deciduous forests in the southeast which has been cleared for the most part, intensive agriculture, and the less populated North Woods, which are now been used for forestry, mining and recreation.

The pros and cons of moving to Minnesota

If you are asking yourself weather going the distance to moving all of your belongings including your family and perhaps your dog too, to Minnesota will be worth everyone’s while. You’ve come to the right place, as we have done some in depth research just for you to provide and will be providing information on everything you need to know before you complete your decisions.

Let’s dive right into a few of the pros and cons you can look at:

Pros:

  1. You will have a lot of friends if you move to Minnesota. According to the world population reviews website, the state is sitting at approximately 5,700,671 people right now. More than 60% of this number lives in the Minneapolis, St. Paul area.
  2. Famous people such as Prince and Bob Dylan hailed from here.
  3. Finding a job may not be as hard as other states seeing as it has about 18 fortune 500 companies to offer you a position in. not to mention its unemployment rate is below 1.4%.
  4. If you have ever fantasized about living next to a lake, your dream may just come true. There’s a reason why this state has been given the nickname of the land of 10,000 lakes. You could grab one for just an average price of $225,200, or even rent one for just over $1400. A one-bedroom apartment could fetch you a decent price of just over $1000 a month in rent.
  5. You can even choose to have a home in the city plus a cabin by the lake, which a lifestyle idolized by the locals. The boats are also a popular item for its residents, it has more boats per household than any other state in the country. So, you could fetch one for a good price too!
  6. We were not kidding when we said you can make friends; not just because of the number of its population but also because it has one of the nicest and considerate folks in all of its state. Often the residents that were born and brought up there, have a tendency of staying there, they call this the Minnesota Nice mentality. They can say something to
  7. If you like jello and salad, you’re in for a treat. They most often than not have a jello-o-salad during meals…look it up here!
  8. If you’re into malted mochas and thick lattes, but are a Starbucks fanatic – you’ll have to leave that behind and take on a new taste – Caribou Coffee. Minnesota is all about the Caribou coffee shop chain. Not sure if this is a pro or a con, but either way, you do have a coffee chain.
  9. There is a lot of cultural diversity as well. People come from many different countries and backgrounds like East Africa and North America, and even smaller populations from India, Korea and Vietnam.

Cons:

  1. Weather wise – it got the typical extreme conditions, that most of the US has. However, the winters here have been recorded to get to almost -34 degrees Fahrenheit. But that’s not the normal condition, it usually gets to minus zero degrees. The months to avoid are October to May, which really is almost half of the year where the state is covered in snow. The up-side is, if you like skiing, you can take full advantage of this situation.
  2. If you’re a foodie, you will be surprised to know that even though this place has such a diverse culture, the irony is that the food itself, is not so much so. The typical dish served is meat and potatoes. He insider joke here is, if you want to add more flavour to your dish, just add ketchup to it!
  3. Because of the high popularity in agriculture and mining, the smells of the farmlands and mining industry can get a tad bit over-powering in some months. The advice here would be to pack some air-refresher on your move.
  4. Fishing, frequenting the local bars, or staying home? Take your pick, because this is what the residents spend most of their time doing. Its not particularly the most exciting place to get any entertainment. If that’s what you are looking for you will need to drive out of town to the neighboring states.

All the Fun and Interesting Facts About Minnesota

We, however would not leave you hanging without some entertainment. Below are some weird and fin facts about the state to keep you looking forward to your move there.

  • Do you like golf? Because this state is home to more golfers per capita than in any other state in the USA.
  • Pedestrians have no short-cuts. They have to go through Minneapolis alleys provided, as opposed to through-traffic.
  • Driving a car is fine, driving it in neutral – is not. No fun-cruising on highways in Minnesota, not even on a Sunday!
  • In a case where a wild boar gets loose in the Twin Cities, authorities i.e. the Agricultural Commissioner has to catch it and get ‘rid’ of it (in the most humanely possible way of course). Nice to know they have a specific person responsible for this.
  • For any reason what so ever, one is not allowed to import any live skunks! Looks to me like this is the only striking law there.

Climate

Minnesota’s climate comprises of the humid continental kind, with each of the four seasons being experienced equally, although winters can sometimes last much longer than the other seasons.

Hot summers and cold winters are the name of the game so when you move down, make sure you pack some warm clothes as well as cooler clothes for the summer months. Although Lake Superior keeps the area cool during the summer while in the winter months it keeps the warm air in.

For skiing, this is the perfect place, with winter months lasting from as long as October to May, there is plenty of snow for everyone. This is the main form of Minnesota’s winter, with some sleet and rainfall on occasion.

Our recommendation would be the best time to make your move to the region would be anytime between the months of June to September. When calculating the move estimates, it is also best to check the weather patterns before-hand, just to make sure.

Nature

Authorities like the Minnesota Native Landscapes Authorities are one of the many services, that are responsible for maintaining the ecological stance of the states landscapes , flora and fauna.

The area holds some spectacular regions for both its residents to frequent, as well as tourists and neighbouring states visitors.
