good

This city offers consistently good weather and a decent airport with solid connectivity, which can be convenient for frequent travelers. Many residents find the people interesting, which could appeal to those looking for variety in social interactions. However, several key drawbacks were mentioned across reviews.

Cost of living is a clear disadvantage, with rents staying high and few bargains on housing, regardless of quality. Safety is also cited as a concern, with reports of it being a dangerous city in some areas. Job-wise, opportunities—especially long-term—appear limited and often underpay compared to other U.S. cities.

The vibe of the city seems better suited for shorter stays or digital nomads rather than individuals or families looking to put down roots. Social circles feel transient, and the lifestyle seems centered around entertainment, parties, and appearances, with fewer alternatives for those seeking variety in activities. This may limit appeal for those looking for deeper community ties or more grounded living options.

pros: good weather, interesting people, good airport,
bad: expensive, dangerous, not a lot of plans, only party and show off

2 years ago

I guess if you're a nomad this doesn't matter much, but the long-term job pickings here are slim and among the most underpaid for a US city. There seems to be a tacit rent floor that means you won't find a good deal on housing. A lot of people don't seem very invested in their interpersonal relationships here since their ties to the area are often transient.

Pretty cool city with lots to do, but you might end up living in a suburb far away from the fun and have to drive a lot to get anywhere.

4,800 remote workers in Miami now, of which 6+ members checked in (some members are set to private)

Members who will be here soon

Members who have been here

Values shown are estimated visits by traveling remote workers based on the total amount of trips logged by Nomads.com members. Visits to a place are only counted once per year per user, even if they visit more in that year. Visits are also normalized by overall trips added per month on the site, so if site usage goes up or down it does not affect trends. Not all digital nomads are on Nomads.com, and not all Nomads.com members log their trips. So the data is only indicative.

The chart below shows visitors by nationality normalized for population size. This means we take all trips logged on Nomads.com, check which country of origin the user is from, then divide that total visit count by the country of origin's population. If we didn't, it'd just show the big countries like US, Brazil and India always on top. Instead, this shows which nationalities worldwide proportionally visit more or less, which is more useful.
