2019 Best Neighborhoods to Live in the Miami AreaAbout this List

Brickell

• Neighborhood in Miami, FL
• 14 reviews

Current Resident: Brickell is a great place to live! All of the condos are built on top of the city and retail making everything walkable. The metromover is also great for getting around the heart of the city. I love the close proximity to coral gables, south beach, and other boroughs.
They cleaned up this area a lot and have built numerous new buildings (residential, retail, parking, hotels) making it a great place to live!

Bal Harbour

• Neighborhood in Fort Lauderdale, FL
• 1 review

Current Resident: We moved to Bal Harbour in November, 2018. We were welcomed by neighbors and have established new friendships already! I can truly say that this neighborhood is one of the only true "NEIGHBORHOODS" in Fort Lauderdale. With only one way in and one way out, this gated community is safe and well patrolled. A camera takes pictures of everyone entering through the gate. I think the "walkability" of the neighborhood is underestimated by this website. We can walk to grocery stores, restaurants and shopping.

Sunrise Intracoastal

• Neighborhood in Fort Lauderdale, FL
• 5 reviews

Current Resident: When my dad retired from the military we kind of had it really rough. We were homeless until we moved in with my dad’s mom. In the beginning it was fine. Everything was cool and dandy, but then an altercation involving my abuela and my sister happened. The police ended up being called and were involved, my grandma ended up going to an institution to be evaluated. While she was gone my dad packed up all of our belongings and we then moved to Miami Gardens with my great aunt. After we were there for a couple months my mom finally found a house in the city of Sunrise in a neighborhood called Plantation Acres. My dad and I woke up every morning at 0400...in civilian terms four o'clock a.m., drove to the house built shelves, cleaned it up, etc. Basically made sure it would pass for inspection so that we would be able to move in. And eventually the day came when we passed or it passed inspection and we finally had a house. We weren't homeless anymore and have lived in it since.

Downtown

• Neighborhood in Miami, FL
• 4 reviews

Current Resident: As a current resident in Downtown Miami I must say this it is my favorite place to live in all South Florida. Located right in the heart of Miami, right between innovating Brickell, Midtown and South Beach; it is the most convenient location the city has to offer. Downtown offers many benefits like alternative routes to skip traffic and really near-by access to the highway, beautiful Bayfront Park along Bayside Mall with its Marina, free metro mover transportation to Brickell and surrounding areas. With many diverse restaurants and bars in the area it only seems to get better. The only issue that needed fixing was more surveillance by the cops and it has recently been solved already by cops taking regular day to day surveillance shifts in the corners of streets.
