I'm looking for a cat-friendly small apartment in an entirely new city--and I am picking Rochester!
What can you tell me about the cheapest places of the town/city to rent in and good places to look.....I plan on loading the car and driving up there next week, place or no place. I'm breaking out of PA! LOL

well you probably should line up a place from where you are. Do you intend on living in a car with your cat for a while until you find a place? If you are financially stable you should get a place lined up from PA. And by the way I dont know what you are excited about. Rochester isnt really exciting...this whole time period we're in as humanity isn't really exciting. Its a lot more excruciating and challenging than exciting. And this whole country has very little to be excited about. It feels to me like one massive highway. It'd be one thing if you were hopping over to a european city that was actually livable. Then I would say maybe there is a reason to be somewhat excited. I think you should lower your excitement before anything and get a place lined up for sure.

Have you ever moved? I like a fresh start once in a while.
I read a couple articles about Rochester that say it's one of the best small cities to relocate to. I'm looking for colder weather than PA.
I am trying to find a place. Just wanted to know if anyone had any leads.

yea I apologize. I just feel like theres not much to be excited about in this country particularly. It feels like one large pointless highway and endless consumerism, financial pressure. I feel like theres no fulfilling point to being here. And the more people realize that consumerism and driving around is not actually fulfilling the sooner we can start building cities that are actually livable, so theres more to do than driving on a highway and buying stuff...and of course working all week to support those activities.

I've been to rochester and I've been all over PA. I would rather be in MN than PA. If I was gonna choose a place I'd probably go with st. cloud, mankato or rochester in that order. But I'd rather be in a college town than a small city with no college

Rochester and surrounding small towns (Byron, Stewartville, Mantorville, etc) is a nice area. Rent is a reasonable as can be expected, and is actually less than the Minneapolis / St Paul area. Very nice parks and walking trails. Robust Community Ed offerings. Excellent medical care at either Olmsted Medical or Mayo Clinic. Lots of professional and service industry jobs. Go for it.

Padmapper is a good rental website people have mentioned in the past. I’d look at realtor and find areas with more expensive homes and see if any rental places are within the area, nice homes are not in bad parts of town. Not once have I ever heard someone I know say let’s go to Rochester for weekend, but let’s go to Duluth is said nonstop.
