Miami, FL - Post Report Question and Answers
What is your housing like? What are typical housing sizes, locations, and commute times for expatriates?
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
