Best neighborhoods to rent in North Miami?
Longtime lurker here, Is this normal for North Miami? It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

As someone who grew up here, there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. A lot has changed in the past few years though. dating scene used to be much manageable but now it's decent.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I love the pace of life here. No regrets on my end..

I've lived in Cedar Grove for about 10 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's improved dramatically in recent years. When I first moved here from Pittsburgh, I was surprised by outdoor recreation. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Strong job market in several industries
- The outdoor recreation scene is pretty good
The downsides:
- Limited public transit options
- Limited shopping options
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for young professionals. No regrets on my end..

Bought a house here in 2023 and I love the pace of life here. Property values have gone up a bit since then.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a electrician who relocated here from Dallas about 1 years ago. The main reasons were my partner's job and family.
Pros I've experienced:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Lots of new development happening
Cons that are real:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Can feel isolated
Financially, we've found it excellent compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are competitive, gas is pretty good.
Socially, it's improved dramatically in recent years. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Bought a house here in 2019 and it's exactly what I was looking for. Property values have gone down slightly since then.

Public transit is pretty good here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it exceeded my expectations.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want community vibe, then yeah this place is great. But if housing market matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.
