Moving to Miami means moving to one of three counties, and most people have
no idea which one they are looking at.
Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach together cover 6,137 square miles. That
is more ground than the entire state of Connecticut. Every national
migration report that says "Miami" means all three, and so does most of what
you type into a search box.
Run that search on our own tool and you will get Plantation, Hollywood and
Miramar near the top. None of those are in Miami-Dade. That is not a bug in
the search. That is what the metro actually is.
And the difference inside it is not small. A townhome or condo runs around
$235,000 in Broward against $400,000 and up in Miami-Dade, going by MIAMI
REALTORS figures from September.
So moving to Miami isn't a decision yet. It is a category. The decision is
which part of it, and that depends on what you can afford, how safe it is,
what the community is like and what is nearby.
If you have made a move like this, which county did you end up in, and was
it the one you set out looking at?
