It is time to move. The banging from neighbors above and beside me has nearly driven me to madness, and I fear that it is overwhelming me. It’s all I think about. I have submitted complaints to the management, but it has not changed. Perhaps it is me, needing peace and quiet. Since the writing stage of my dissertation is getting closer, I want to move before I embark on it.

I’m looking for a July 1 – July 15 move date. I have family coming to visit in late July/early August and would like to be moved by then.

My preferences:

• It must be in the Twin Cities area, preferably on the St. Paul side.
• It must be safe for a single woman (this means certain neighborhoods are out)
• It must have a garage.
• I prefer two bedrooms — so I can have an office in which to do my work.
• I prefer a cottage home, small home, duplex, or the like — NO apartments. I just can’t deal with the noise of apartments.

I think that’s it.

My needs aren’t great. I mostly need the quiet. I find it very hard to sleep or work with so much noise.

If you have any leads, please let me know.
