Who it’s for
You know your budget. Now you have to figure out where.
What’s on the list
- 1
Drive your actual commute on a Tuesday at eight in the morning, not on a Sunday. Miami traffic shapes your daily life more than almost anything else you’re weighing.
- 2
Walk the block at night. Noise, lighting, what’s still open at ten — that tells you things no listing photo ever will.
- 3
Check FEMA’s official flood map for the exact address. Not the neighborhood. The street number.
