First time home buyer in Miami Gardens
I'm a teacher here and Crime rate is something to consider -Miami Gardens sits at 739.1 per 100K. The median home value here is around $337,200, which seems about average. It's a a mid-size city city with about 111K people. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.
Pros:
- Nice parks and trails
- Diverse community
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Rising rent prices
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Not enough green space

Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.
