Miami, FL

Vibrant and charged with the energy of Caribbean
rhythms, Miami means big-city sophistication and seductive
beaches to those who plug into its unique brand of
electric charge. A railroad into the old Indian trading
post started Miami down its path as Florida?s most
dynamic city and a few works of modern engineering made
Miami Beach a sudden hotspot of the 1920s. With a
colorful arts scene, world-class shopping, watersports
splendor, professional sports and a load of family
attractions, Miami makes one of the nation?s most well-rounded
metropolitan destination. North of the city miles of
beautiful sandy beaches are hemmed in by southeast
Florida's major tourist resorts along the Gold Coast, like
Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pompano Beach and Palm
Beach

cost of living
You might think that with all these extraordinary
benefits, living in Miami-Dade would cost a fortune, but
it doesn?t. In fact, the cost of living here is below
that of many other major cities such as Manhattan,
Boston, Los Angeles, Washington, Philadelphia, and San
Jose. And, those that rival our cost of living do not
offer our weather, thriving business centers,
attractions, culture and history.
For example, Miami?s sales tax is below the national
average and there is no state income tax and no local
income tax. A beautiful home here will cost you less,
as will property taxes, car insurance, and electricity
? you?ll even spend less time commuting than you would
in some of those other major cities. And, since you?ll
be spending less money on things that aren?t fun,
you?ll have more to spend on things that are.
