Doral is located in Miami, FL. Many residents come from Latin America, especially from Venezuela. I have been residing in Doral since 2015 and it has continue to grow since regarding population and real estate. In my opinion, this city welcomes very well families with children and pets, as well.
The city of Doral has excellent recreation places such as parks where kids can enjoy the afternoon playing soccer, basketball, tennis, or volleyball while parents walk around the park or exercise. Moreover, the park adventure extends to those dog lovers out there.
On the other hand, Doral is the home of two great malls. Also, this city provides an immense amount of restaurant for every taste. Regarding nightlife, Doral is not the best, however, Cityplace Doral is a new place where people can enjoy live music, a variety of restaurants, and bars with a good atmosphere! Also, there is a Kingsbowl and Cinebistro. To conclude, Doral is a great city to live in.

Doral is an up-and-coming neighborhood for families. It is very expensive and inflated as far as real estate goes. There are a few schools nearby in the neighborhood that makes it convient for students, but that also makes the traffic in Doral very hectic. The neighborhood has lots of trees and scrubs, which is nice, but the HOA is a huge nuisance. They take pictures of every little "violation," like parking on the line of the sidewalk and taking pictures of one room in the house that has the shutters closed or overgrown grass. Very minor things. Not convient for large families with multiple cars due to limited parking at the homes and not many visitor parking spots in many communities. Lots of bikers and people walking! You'd have to be careful at stop signs or inching forward too much because you might strike a biker or pedestrian. It tends to have several active residents. Security is ALWAYS around which is a huge plus as far as safety
Amazing city that contains a very diverse population, with a very concentrated hispanic demographic. I believe this city to be one of the safest in the South Florida region, proven by low-crime rate statistics. Moreover, the schools in this city are very well-suited for immigrant children, offering a variety of opportunities to enhance english-learning skills.
