New job in Aventura (Miami, Pembroke Pines: apartment, rentals, condominium)

[plo46]

I just accepted a position at Aventura Florida and will be relocating from St. Louis, Missouri. Hoping to find a good area with good high school and middle schools close to Aventura but willing to drive about an hour max. Any suggestions would be great.

It still amazes me how companies prefer to hire out of towners to locals.

Assuming you don't want a townhouse or condo, look in the Sky Lake/Ojus area if you can afford it. Otherwise, I've heard good things about Miami Lakes, and even west Pembroke Pines and Weston (Broward County) are doable if you allow an hour commute. Seriously though, there are some nice townhouse rentals in Aventura itself which are in walking distance to the office buildings. If you're working at the Hospital, there is also a small "Hospital district" in Aventura, which is mostly smaller, older homes (which the City wants to replace with condos).

Pembroke pines is nice many gated communities,Aventura is great beautiful condos great shoppingsame with Sunny Isles,Weston is nice just further out of the way from where you will be working.

Get a realtor, its of no cost to you.

Congratulations on the new job. If you're just getting started at the hospital, I would definitely recommend that you live in one of the high-rises in Aventura. The prices there are pretty good, and once you're established you can figure out what neighborhood works best for you.

Hmmm, well let me suggest either Hallandale Beach (cheaper option) or Sunny Isles (more expensive option) if you can get an ocean view condominium.

Aventura is all right, but this is Southern Florida and it's all about water. Your commute won't appreciate by much since both of these communities border Aventura (well sort of for Hallandale ...).

Also this is southern florida and unless you're hell bent on a house, consider a high rise condominium. Live vertical with the tower having all the amenities (gym, spa, pool, jacuzzi, valet for your car) not to mention a view with a balcony.

Forget the ground-level town-house. It's nosier, hotter, muggier, and will be a harder battle with bugs.

It would be nice if you can give us a rental budget to give you suggestions to start with.
