Moving to Minnetonka
Looking to get advice on Minnesota...moving from small town (600 ppl) to take a job in Minnetonka.
What are the best options near Minnetonka to find rural living that is affordable and family friendly?

What's your definition of affordable? How far are you willing to commute?

The closer the better...willing to commute 35-40 miles if needed. Affordable is a 3br home under 250K.

I would likely rent by myself for 6 months...family will follow after that. Can anyone give me an estimate of what rent would be for a 1 bedroom apt. Any advice on where? Doesn't need to be rural, but needs to be in a safe area and with in 20 minutes from Minnetonka.

Try this, Saint Louis Park, Hopkins, Minnetonka, Golden Valley, and Plymouth
if you have 6 months of time to study, try those places I said. All those places are almost within 6-8 miles radius from minnetonka. Cost wise I will arrange it like this from cheaper to costlier
Hopkins, St.Louis Part, Golden Valley, Plymouth, Minnetonka. And for a single bedroom the prices range from 600-?????. And for the price of 350K I am sure you can find house in minnetonka. And I am not sure how rural you want.

You can be reasonably rural going west of Minnetonka about 30 miles.
