But I guess it all depends what you like to do and where you will be working, and also what you like to do.
I work down south in the Dadeland area, and the commute every morning with traffic was a good 45min to an hour.
Now I live 4 minutes away from work
For example, if you have a family, probably Pembroke Pines/Miramar would be suitable for you.
If you are single/young professional who likes to go to the bars/etc, probably Brickell/Downtown is more suitable for you.
It's all relative.

Pembroke Pines/Miramar area is a nice area, I used to live right off Miramar Parkway.

Afternoon' everyone.
Personally, I was born in New York and lived most of my life in Miami. When I joined the military, I couldn't wait to get outta there! It's like living like a sardine down there. I did all the partying I wanted to do, got it out the way early and wanted to settle down. We thought about living in Pembroke back in 98, but we decided to move to North Carolina instead. Great family living. But we missed some of the hustle and bustle of the city, so we moved back to Florida.
I like Orlando because I can have the best of both worlds. Lots of family things to do, plenty of nightclubs and bars, etc. Plus our families are at least a good couple of hours away - which is actually nice. Nothing like mom telling you how to run your own family when you're in your thirties. lol

I don't hate the rain, I hate the standing water. I need to do my brakes - debating on whether I should do them myself or have them done at a shop.
But thankfully Miguel's bringing our truck up for our trip. I don't care if it rains on our vacation because we'll be at the beach anyway. I love warm rain... and thunderstorms are ok because it'll just give us something to do inside. Giggity, giggity.

Well I'm a native New Yorker so I have different definition about the sardine thing...lol.
I live in Miami Lakes which is just south of Pines and Miramar and it's a nice place to live. Your not far from the good partying spots if your into that.
Orlando? That whole to 2am thing is not cool. I tend to arrive at clubs at 1am, so definitely not for me..

In my building downtown even, the condo's used to go for $400k each, now they're selling them for half that cost. We have several going into or already in foreclosure as well. I send at least 3 people to the attorney every month. Some people can't afford the ARM loans they took out and the others figure that since they're only worth half of what they paid, they're just walking away from it - even if they CAN afford it; they just couldn't flip it like they thought they could, so why bother. It's a shame.

That whole club closing at 2am thingy isn't my thing either!!
The only thing basically that I like about Orlando are the theme parks and just being there for the weekend, that's it. I have a few friends that live up there and they hate living up there...
Yeah Miami might have its crazy people here and there but like Gene said Miami Lakes is a nice place to live, and well I've been living in Pembroke Pines/Miramar for the past 15yrs and I love it!!! Everything is around us from sportsbars, shops, good schools, and the clubs that don't close at 2am, etc...
I can go on and on...
So xp350z, COME ON DOWN and move in anywhere between the Miami Lakes/Pines/Miramar area..You'll like it.

Talking of which - tonight downtown is a movie theater premier opening and an Orlando downtown block party for the Magic. I had VIP tickets from my job to go, but I don't know if I wanna brave the crowds after the cocktails and press release parts are over. By time I get home, I'm thinking that if they win tonight - the last thing I wanna do is drive my car anywhere near downtown. I dunno.

Forget the schools, economy, jobs, traffic, and area. I want to live where the clubs dont close at 2am!! Wait, I want to live where I can actually live in the club, and party at my house!!!

Ghettos are everywhere, in every state. Not the whole part of any town is really ghetto - just sections. You can't really go wrong anywhere in Florida. Good luck to you!
