Studying at Miami U need place to stay near pinecrest (Coral Gables: condo, crime)

[RVD51283]

I am relocating for work to a position in Pinecrest which is very upscale suburban (so I've been told) I am taking a few classes at the U in Miami and wondering where the best place to live would be. I am making good money with my job and can afford 2500 or so for an apt / condo...

What are my options? I want to be able to live in a nice area and try to avoid the crime scene if possible.

For 2500 a month, Pinecrest. That's all there is to it.

Is it nice? It's probably one of the nicest neighborhoods in South Florida. VERY nice. About a half hour to the beach.
