Miami, FL - Post Report Question and Answers

Live in an apartment in Sweetwater. You can find any size of houses, but the prices are absurdly inflated for absolutely low quality homes. Despite being 12 miles from the office, my commute to work is anywhere between 30 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes, depending on the time of year. It is most notably different when schools are out. Many people live in different towns and counties and experience worse commutes along I-95. - Jun 2026

It is pretty expensive to live here, with rent on a townhouse or single family home starting at around $1,500. Some friends lived close to the beach in a 2 bedroom apartment with a 20-40 minute drive to the office, and paid $1,900 plus parking. Down in Homestead, you can get a 4 bedroom townhouse with a garage and a 30-60 minute commute for $1,300.The closer to downtown and Broward county, the rent increases significantly. However, living in Broward gives you the same commute time. Traffic is AWFUL, but the commute can be okay if you leave early enough. - Mar 2008
