Moving To Miami: An Overview Of The City

Along with Los Angeles and New York, Miami is one of the most glamorous destinations in the USA

. Those moving to the Sunshine City will find a city with a massive Latino vibe that has shaped the culture of the USA, as well as having an increasingly large influence on the rest of the world.

The culture that these Latin American-based communities bring to the city has created an ultra hip, edgy and youthful character, making Miami the ultimate holiday destination for the young, rich and famous. Thats not to say the city doesnt have more refined charms though it is also the traditional family beach vacation destination for much of the country.

This well known identity brings the economy enormous tourism revenue and the results are plain to see. Nightclubs, restaurants and attractions are scattered liberally throughout the city. From the glamour of South Beach to the subtle style of the Art Deco District, there really is something for everyone in this eclectic and occasionally bizarre city.

Working in Miami

In terms of securing a job in Miami, the city is a thriving centre of commerce. You could opt for the obvious route of tourism-related trade, however, there are several other industries Miami is famed for.

Trade and finance are becoming increasingly important aspects of the economy. The citys close proximity to South and Central America and the Caribbean make it an obvious choice for the centre of international trade with those areas. In fact, due to the number of companies which have chosen to establish their Latin American headquarters in Miami-Dade County, it has become known as the "Gateway to the Americas."

The Arts

Fashion is huge in the city, with Miami Fashion Week rapidly becoming a renowned worldwide event. The distinctive style of the city is revered throughout, with its unique ethnic mix contributing to Miamis unparalleled fashion persona.

Miamis music scene is also flourishing, but this growth isn't just limited to the global superstars like Enrique Iglesias and Flo Rida that call Miami home! Theres an ever growing independent scene here which is unlike anywhere else in the world. From Brazilian style samba groups to rap music, jazz and traditional rock and roll, Miami has a scene to suit every walk of life

Children in Miami

Miamis school system is the largest in the USA and the only one to offer bilingual education in a variety of languages. The quality of schools vary though so its recommended that you do some thorough research before making a choice. However, some of the public schools in the area are excellent and the private schools are amongst the best in the country.

In terms of entertainment theres so much for kids to do in the area, with plenty of programmes available that are designed to keep children happy and active. And remember, the world famous Disney Resorts are located only a few hours drive away - most childrens (and many adults) idea of paradise!

All in all, Miami can be a wonderful place to live for adults and children alike. House prices vary greatly from area to area, but theres usually a bargain to be found. As always, do your research thoroughly and who knows you could soon find yourself in a Floridian paradise!
