Relocation

Living in Miami is a far cry from visiting for a week or two. One of the first considerations should be transportation, which will be based on commute time and routes. Most residents have cars and thus, the turnover is quick so supply and demand evens out. Miami was always destined to be a hot spot with its year-round warmth and prime location as a gateway to the Caribbean, Central and South America, so newcomers can prepare to store their winter clothes for most, if not all of the year.

Between 2006 and 2008 the US Census Bureau estimated the total number of housing units in the city to be 968,744 with 829,238 of them occupied. The owner-to-renter percentages was 60.1 to 39.9. Prices can range drastically based on neighborhoods, square footage, and other aspects, which is where Realtor services come in handy.

The vast media culture of Miami makes it easy to keep up with local news either online or in print. Dozens of websites and blogs cater specifically to the city’s happenings throughout the year. Other dedicated news sites cover neighborhood beats and are updated on a daily basis. Likewise, TV and radio options are limitless and the city makes free Internet access with ubiquitous W-Fi available. For families with children or individuals looking to enroll in school, you’re in luck. Miami’s public school system has some of the top schools in the country and a slew of higher education institutions are accessible around the city. Specialty schools are also an option for those focusing on a technical career.

The sprawling space that is Miami-Dade County serves a dual purpose: frustration for drivers and positive additions to the landscape with plenty of public parks and space. Owning pets are common, perhaps because backyard space and parks cater to them.
