Moving to Sunny Isles Beach with kids -good idea?

Random thought, Average temperature is around 76--F, so it's warm year-round. The suburbs are where most families end up. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Let me know your thoughts. TIA! It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The city has invested a lot in new development. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a electrician who relocated here from Tampa about 14 years ago. The main reasons were weather and quality of life.

Pros I've experienced:
- Four distinct seasons
- Affordable housing options
- Strong sense of community

Cons that are real:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Far from beaches/mountains

Financially, we've found it excellent compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are pricey, gas is improving.

Socially, it's been a really good experience overall. No regrets on my end..
