It’s no secret that Miami has turned into a global city of choice for all. Over the past two years, we’ve seen a huge surge in migration – where businesses and their people, high net worth individuals, remote workers, crypto enthusiasts, families and investors of every size and scale have moved to Miami. Besides our great weather and beaches, factors such as pro-business policies, no personal income tax, more tax reliefs, a burgeoning art scene, versatile dining and entertainment options, plentiful greenery, and more have fueled this great migration.

Moving to a new city or neighborhood is a major decision in itself. Considering each neighborhood in Miami carries a distinctive vibe and lifestyle, for anyone moving to Miami, back to Miami, or simply within the city, picking the right neighborhood can be a tough choice.

Key Biscayne

This island village is great for families and those looking to live off the beaten path with access to a quiet beach, national park, low-traffic streets, and great schools.

South Beach

This is the IT neighborhood of Miami. Known as vacation central, you’ll have easy access to hot beaches, nightlife, a versatile dining scene, and much more.

• South of Fifth/SoFi - This is the high-end, less touristy pocket of South Beach.
• West Avenue - This is the more residential waterfront of South Beach.
