Considering North Bay Village vs Miami -help me decide

My partner and I are The unemployment rate is 2.9%, which is pretty low. Poverty rate is 4.7%, which is pretty low. The suburbs are where most families end up. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Anyone in a similar situation?

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are underrated, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value housing market, you'll love it. The weather is genuinely tough and I've found I genuinely enjoy living here. My neighborhood (Highland) is stable and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Portland, be prepared for the culture shock. weather is completely different here. And Property taxes are high.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is housing market. I have mixed feelings honestly. Worth doing your research before committing.
