Miami - South Beach - places to live

Question

Hello -

Summer in the midwest is fun, but it is short. I cant stand that about it actually. I am interested in visiting South Beach and I have never been there before. Where can I find online some cool forums about it -not just nightlife and clubs, but about the day to day life - where to find apartments, restaurants, what neighborhoods are not safe, etc.

Id like to visit on a short trip, but then consider spending the winter there too. Finding a place to stay, etc. is on my mind.

thanks

Oh and by the way, what is the temp there in the winter?

Answer 1

look around on  google like

"miami condos"

Miami houses for rent,

stuff like tht,

the day to day life is pretty, intense,

sadly the houses and apartments in miami beach are realllyyy expensive so i suggest investing in the southwest area,

realllly pretty, and they speak english

DO NOT GO TO HOMESTEAD OR HIALEAH

they mostly speak spanish :)

if you have children or something look at the schools,

there are 152 elementarys 63 middle and 54 high schools.

its  bigg lol.

the hotels are real good, and you can go to Downtown for an L.A/New york feel :)

also,there are ALOT of restaurants, dealing with all types of cuisine, everywhere you go,

Forthe malls i recomend Sunset Mall.

as for the winter temperature  i dontknow if you like the cold or hot,

but its about 80 degrees in winter.

anything else ? ill be happy to help.

Answer 2

South beach is very expensive but if you have the money the properties are very nice. Check craigslist.com for the best deals. As for the restaurants, just go along ocean drive and you will find the everything from American food-Spanish food-Caribbean food-fast food. Miami has everything very close buy so you won't have to look far to eat something. A great place to live is the Doral area (which is new) and Kendall.

Overall the best website for you would be miami.com
