Answer 1

Okay, instead of giving you the rundown for every neighborhood, I'll give you a feel for the trendier parts of town.

SOBE has relatively cheap rent, but parking is a hassle.  Most of the cheaper buildings are older and have wall unit air-conditioners.  Transportation in SOBE is easy, however getting from Miami to the beach and back via public transport isn't the best.

Coconut Grove has a very bohemian feel, the Grove circulator (a bus) runs into the late night and connects you with Metro-Rail (rapid transit) Metro Rail connects the Grove to Kendall and Hialeah but it is mostly used for transport downtown.  The Grove has many restaurants and bars that are easily accessible on foot.  Use caution in the Northwestern sections of the Grove. The Grove is also close to South Miami (3miles) Downtown (4miles) and Sobe (10 miles)

South Miami has a small town feel.  It is becoming much more popular with the younger crowd due to its proximity to the University of Miami.  It also is very pedestrian friendly and is nestled between the Grove and the Gables, it has fewer bars and restaurants than the Grove, but it is becoming a destination in its own right.

Downtown Miami is also growing rapidly, and is growing its nightlife.  Lofts and condos abound, and good deals are getting easier to find in terms of rent.  Downtown Miami is very pedestrian friendly and features an elevated people mover that is free and puts you within blocks of most destinations.  it is automated and runs roughly every 5 minutes.  A trendier crowd is quickly occupying Miami's core, most condos feature breathtaking water views or outstanding city scapes.

Answer 3

depends where you choosel; if u live in coral gables it is a very calming neighborhood since alot of rich people live there.

if u choose the cheapest place La pequeña habana (the little havana)

there will be alot of chaos and alot of hispanic people. but on the upside calle ocho is there (8th street) you will be able to go to the carnival.

as your second answer said south miami and downtown are very popular among the younger crowd
