It really doesn’t matter what reason you have for moving to Miami (FL), you should know that this city has so much wonderful things to offer.
For instance, it has a perfect weather all year long, allowing you to enjoy all white sands next to the ocean along with the tropical atmosphere in every corner of Miami. Latin American and Caribbean cultures have a huge influence in this region, with almost half of people speaking Spanish, you will experience all cultural traditions and tastes that the Hispanic and Latin population have to offer.
Along with that nightlife in Miami is abundance; there is a wide variety of theaters, nightclubs, festivals, art performs, culinary entertainment, as well as fashion parades. There is absolutely no way of you getting bored in this interesting city.
Although you should also know that living here is not exactly cheap, there are a few details you’ll need to consider before moving here near the ocean.
What to know before moving to Miami
With a population of more than 400,000, Miami is definitely a crowded city, being this the main reason of why it has 4.2% percent of unemployment rate; there is a lot of competition specially in jobs that are related to travel, tourism and services; because of this it is important that you know how to communicate with most of the people living here, learning Spanish language.
A great fact about this city, is that you are always able to walk around all famous neighborhoods and places without having to worry about how far it might is; which also means you won’t have to spend too much money on transportation, and you may be able of getting a bike to get where ever you need to. Nevertheless, on hot sunny days, perhaps you won’t be on a great mood of walking, and during this season, transportation will not be any issue, since there are three great options for you to take:
Metrorail, Metrobus and Metromover; this last one is an electric elevated transportation system that goes all around downtown, and the best part is that it is completely free!
Besides transportation, Miami is considered “The Cleanest City” in the country, thanks to its clean streets, green spaces and of course great water and air quality; this is one of the main reasons why it has a natural fascination in every place you visit, mainly in all the beautiful beaches around the city, for example Lummus Park Beach, Haulover Beach or Crandon Park, just to name a few.
Cost of living in Miami
Living in Miami is definitely not cheap, but well worth it; and like most cities near the ocean, the closer you live to water, the more expensive will be to rent or buy a house.
There is also important to consider the job factor, in which you would need to make sure to find a house or apartment that it is close to your work area, and that way you won’t be wasting time in translating from one place to another.
Apart from that, monthly utilities are relatively expensive too, for example water, electricity, cable TV, internet and some other, have an average cost of almost $200 dollars, and the approximately monthly cost of living here for a single person is around $1000; without considering rent.
You should consider that transportation and all market supplies you purchase will cost more than other expense you have. This is the main reason why it is really important to have a job where you earn enough money to pay for all your needs and have an appropriate quality life in a city where there are a lot of things to do and visit.
Housing market in Miami
Before moving to Miami, there are several main facts to consider, mainly choosing the neighborhood you would like to live at; with more than 40 choices you might want to look for the best option. However it will depend mostly if you are moving alone or with your family; and this is why we have split the list in two categories.
The first one has all the best neighborhoods for single life, most of them near the ocean and the best nightclubs in the area; for example Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, South Beach and Brickell. All of these are great options, however you might think that they are cheaper, but the truth is that living near the most concurred areas will cost you more than if you choose to live in a more family- friendly neighborhood.
This is why we have done some research on the top choices for suburbs zones; where you will find Pinecrest, Kendall, Weston and Key Biscayne; they have beautiful playgrounds, quality public schools and of course are very walkable.
Now let’s talk about the price rate of buying a home or apartment in one of these areas; the median home value can go up of $350,000 dollars, which is higher than the average national price, but if you think about it, it will be a great investment to own a house in one of the most famous city in the world.
Nevertheless, renting a house for a long or short term, it’s also a great option, not only because you will be living in any place you like for as long as you want, but because you may find a house or apartment that fits all your requirements without having to invest a big amount of money, that you might not be available to pay at the moment.
Rents here are cheaper than most of the other states in the country, the average cost goes from $1000 to a little more than $2,000 per month, which you can easily pay as long as you have an established job.
