Our Take
Bloomington offers a solid commute to Minneapolis and decent schools, but almost all errands need a car. It's a quiet suburban spot that can work for families or commuters, yet its walkability and transit options are limited. If you’re comfortable driving, it’s a reasonable place to settle, but if you rely on public transit or walking, you’ll find it lacking.
