I live in downtown Ft. Lauderdale and like it. Good location close to bars, restaurants, shops, etc. Only crime I've seen are some homeless asking for money and drunk people leaving bars can be loud.
Las Olas has good, but overpriced shops. Boca mall and Aventura mall are close by. Also, there is a Galleria in Ft. Lauderdale that's decent.
There are also some nice places near the beach in Ft. Lauderdale. If you can rent from someone instead of an apartment complex, you may be able to get a better monthly rent price. |

I love living in Palm Beach area.
Everything is nice unless you are looking for the ghetto.
an hour from miami, im there every other weekend. and when i come back home it feels much nicer. For the prices you can't beat here its def paradise, anything south is older for the same price and too many people, and in those areas you gotta be either east or really west. You can get sick deals anywhere in sofla right now which sucks cause i bought my condo at a decent price 2 years ago and it wont be going up for 3-5 years but im happy living here.
I would suggest Palm Beach Gardens or Boca Raton both are hopping right now and everything is brand new, i live about 115 mins south/north of both in the middle, but when i stay in wpb its where i go.
traffic is not too bad here, if u lived in boca you wouldn't have to deal with too much at all. town center mall is ing amazing, i think it may be the best mall i have ever been in. |

| Aventura would be my pick. Whole Foods is close by. Aventura Mall down the street is pretty sweet and has a movie theater to boot. The beach is very close by but its not teh lots of traffic 'to be seen' beach, its more of the go and sunbathe and hangout beach. The area is very good in terms of crime from what I can see. The only thing that turns me off about that place is the old jewish people who are crabby and give waiters a hard time. Other than that, very nice neighborhood |

1- you are going to need a car. I don't know how anyone can live in south florida without one. [unless u live on sobe.. i think that one is do-able]
2- Pembroke Pines, Miramar, Miami Lakes, Coral Gables. I like them all. Ft Laud is a bit too far for my taste. lol I dunno how Rzo treks it to downtown miami from WPB.
About the jews.. ALL the jews from NY flock to Aventura for the cold months. Live in Brooklyn for the fall and have HUUUUUUUUUUUGE SUMMER MANSIONS in NJ. So aventure & sobe are the biggest jew places but really.. it's not even half as bad as if you were living in NY. I feel as though I have practically converted ok??!~! |

I agree with #2 above....
I've lived in Miramar(south broward county, a little inland), pembroke pines(just north of miramar), sunrise(20 min northeast of pembroke),
Don't live in liberty city.
If you plan on working in Aventura mall, aventura is a little on the expensive side...you will definitely be pushing that 900/month...ummm....
I can ask around gets some insight from some of my friends that live around the area...but definitely your best bet is broward county it is in the middle between palm beach and miami....
some places in hollywood, florida are decent...just two towns north of aventura.... |
