My husband and I are looking to move back to MN after residing in AZ for the past seven years. We're from White Bear Lake and really enjoyed living there, but know it will be too far a commute for my husband. He will be working in Savage and we'd like to keep his commute to 30 minutes, 40 tops, or less.
Looking for some feedback on where to start looking for homes? Wondering what commuting is like from all directions heading south to Savage?
Schools are very important, although our son isn't at that age yet. (I tend to lean toward charter or montessori, but know that MN public schools are great too, so it's not a necessity). Safe neighborhoods with very friendly and down to earth people would be great, and a big bonus would be organic shopping, and a Naturopathic or Homeopathic clinic somewhat nearby (I think there's a Naturopathic clinic in St. Paul).
Any thoughts or info is greatly appreciated!
