Best kept secrets of Miami Beach, FL

OK so I'm a 49-year-old data analyst and Poverty rate is 8.6%, which is pretty low. Homes are going for about $542,000 on average. The median home value here is around $542,000, which is pretty steep. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Friendly people
- Diverse community
- Low taxes

Cons:
- Rising rent prices
- Poor road conditions
- Far from major airports
Any advice would be great. TIA! I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The weather takes some getting used to.
