Miami and Hialeah are two separate cities. My son jokes about Hialeah, and says one needs to have a "passport" to visit. :-) Welcome to Miami.

There's a lot more English being spoken in Hialeah than people realize, or WANT to realize.

With that said, if I did have to live there, I would choose the area you are moving to. It is newer and nicer, but it still has the same problems as the rest of "Hialeuh", as the majority of the gangster wannabe youth say (I taught in a HS and MS there). There are some (2) decent schools there, but they feed into very poor middle and high schools. I do not think this is a good community to raise children in, and most would tend to agree, people congregate here because it is an enclave immigrant area, and tend to move to greener pastures when they have leanred the system and earn more. I recommend you watch your children extra closely, *attempt* to be an involved parent at the school and pass by the Police Departments to see what goes on....because I think you are comparing apples to oranges by comparing Orlando crime stats to Hialeah, this is not Mayberry.

Good Luck.

You are correct man.....it is apples and oranges with the crime issue.....I lived near Hialeah before and went to American High back in 96'.......Now i live in Orlando and yes there is alot of crime here now but not all bad......the difference is that in Miami i remember people actually taking more precautions and they would still be robbed or have things stolen from thier house....when i lived in Miami i walked around my neighborhood with my money in my sock just in case ....in Orlando you just dont get that feeling like anything is going to happen everytime you walk out the door to the point you would think of having a money belt or put the money in your shoe.......


ive seen so many people leave thier car running with no one in it and go into the 7-11......and i never thought of that or saw it happen in Miami and the rare occasion it might have happened everyone around would notice it and look at it as a big no no....and wander why it wasnt stolen....but honestly i never saw that happen in Miami.....Orlando does have crime issues but it is just from growing too fast and people not being prepared as much......in Miami most neighborhoods have walls around them and gates around each yard and if you hear of someone breaking in a house down there it is alot harder to get in then in Orlando but yet the crime rates of both cities are not far off from each other

You're confusing Hialeah with Miami. I think, if you look at the stats, Hialeah is nearly always among the safest larger cities in the entire state of Florida. The people who live there are too busy working and building a life to bother with committing crimes.

First, I believe you meant to ask me, "Where DO you live?" I currently live near American High School, and I have lived in that area most of my life. It is not the actual City of Hialeah, but growing up nearby, my family did almost everything in Hialeah. I still go there relatively frequently to buy things/get things done. It is a safe city, and I find it annoying that people try to portrary it as some type of dangerous area, which it flatly is not. It is no more than a heavily immigrant, working class, densely populated city. Period.

As a high school and college student, I worked at the Winn-Dixie on W. 4th Ave. & 65th St., Sedano's Pharmacy on W. 18th Ave. & 68th St., and at Burdine's in Westland Mall.

Rich.
