Fairfax vs Miami -which is better?
Been meaning to ask this. Crime rate is something to consider -Fairfax sits at 118.9 per 100K. Rent is about $2,281/month for a decent place. Homes are going for about $1,121,500 on average. It's a a small town city with about 7,523 people. Average temperature is around 65--F, so the weather is moderate. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Nice parks and trails
- Growing food scene
- Easy commute
- Active local events
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Limited nightlife
- Not very walkable
- Limited dining options
- Homelessness issues downtown
