10 Benefits of Living in a City like Miami

Living in a city like Miami comes with a number of benefits, some of them quite unique. Every year, more and more people from every corner of America (and the world) decide to come here not only to vacation but to live and invest. In this article, we are going to talk about the top 10 benefits of living here, in case you were wondering and thinking about moving here anytime soon!

1.      Weather: this is one of the main reasons why people choose Miami. The subtropical climate makes this city a much more relaxed and laid-back place, especially if you compare it with other similar cities (in size, development and population density).

2.      Entertainment and nightlife: Miami receives thousands of visitors every year in every season, so they’ve become actual experts in these two things. Many people finally decide to live and invest here because it’s one of the most entertaining and active cities in the world.

 

3.      Cultural diversity: this particular point is what makes Miami so unique. South Florida is a doorway to Central and South America, and the many immigrants who have come to live here through the years have made a huge positive impact (socially, culturally and economically) in this corner of the US. 

4.      The Caribbean: without a doubt, some of the best things about Miami are its beaches. Blue sea, white sand, palm trees, the sun and the tropical wind will make anyone want to move here.

5.      Financial growth opportunities: this fast-moving city makes one great place to invest and create wealth, particularly in real estate. 

6.      Positive values: tolerance and equality are just some of the good values that you’ll develop here. Thanks to cultural diversity, this city has learned everything about respecting everyone else’s beliefs, traditions and customs.

7.      Amazing cuisine: another great thing about cultural diversity is the variety of choices when it’s time to eat. The perfection of culinary fusion can be found in only a handful of places, one of them is definitely Miami.

8.      Great attractions: besides the beautiful beaches, there are many attractions in Miami and its surroundings. The Everglades, Zoo Miami, and the Miami Seaquarium are just three of them, and even the locals visit them often. 

9.      Sports: basketball, soccer, football, baseball and water sports of all kind attract many visitors and investors every year. Even college leagues get a lot of attention, because there’s a lot of talent in Miami.

Tell me where you want to invest and I’ll tell you which type of person you are

After many years in the Real Estate business, with a growing client list and a constantly changing market, we can now say with some accuracy which is the average profile (or stereotype) of an investor here in South Florida. We can tell a lot about the type of person you are just by knowing where and how you want to invest!

Let’s take Coral Gables, for example, and make a quick review. It’s a city made with great taste, it has a solid history (Spanish ancestors and Spanish architecture), it features sophistication, luxury and a relaxing atmosphere. Now let’s talk about numbers. Population: over 50,000. Median household income: $93,000. Median age: 41 years old.  95% of Coral Gables population has a high school degree and 61% has a bachelor degree, which is one of the highest rates in the area. This is just some great stuff about this city but there’s plenty more.

Most people investing in Coral Gables nowadays are doing it for profit, or simply getting a second home at a beautiful place (one that looks like a vacation spot). Many immigrants put their minds in this city, and what most of them have in common is that they are looking for a legal immigration status (if they are looking for it at all), and a high percentage of these investors are business men and women with a high level of education. In the particular case of Coral Gables, a place where the median age goes around 40 years old, people who come to live here are men and women with families (married with children).

The profile for the type of person who wants to invest in this area is starting to look quite sharp, and this is just a glance. To conclude this statement, let’s separate the people who want to invest in Coral Gables from the ones preferring Miami. The profile is actually quite similar, with one particular difference. Coral Gables is more of a retiring city. This doesn’t mean people don’t work there; it means it’s a quieter area with a slower pace, where people with a very stable financial situation can go and enjoy all the comforts of a beautiful city. On the other hand, people who prefer Miami tend to be younger (a little bit), and with the one goal in mind of making money and start settling the bases of their future. A high percentage of them are single or recently married but with no children. Miami has a faster pace and it features more business opportunities for people anxious to learn, grow and have fun all at the same time.

Of course these are all stereotypes, these are not absolutes, and at the end of the day, every person is different, but it’s important to recognize patterns when you are working in the Real Estate business, and you, as a client (or a potential client), should know what you are going to find where you want to live or invest.
