Cutler Bay

[crisp444]

Cutler Ridge/Bay is one of the most diverse areas of Miami-Dade county. Go to Target, Winn-Dixie, or any gas station there and you will see lots of Anglos, Hispanics, and blacks. English is more widely spoken than Spanish too, believe it or not. The western areas of Cutler Ridge/Bay tend to be more working class and black and the eastern areas (east of US1 and the Turnpike) tend to be more middle class and Anglo/Hispanic. There are some pretty nice neighborhoods in in eastern Cutler Bay, some of which are new/gated and some of which are just regular neighborhoods that have been well-maintained for years. It is unfortunate that these nice areas are lumped into the worse, more crime-plagued areas. Not all of Cutler Ridge/Bay is ghetto by any means. Cutler Bay in its northeastern-most reaches (bordering Palmetto Bay / East Perrine) is a gorgeous and upscale neighborhood that resembles Pinecrest.

I would definitely say TAKE METRORAIL! It's going to be a lot faster, a lot less stressful and super convenient. Take the Busway to the Dadeland South Station and take Metrorail until Brickell Station, which is pretty close, from there you can get onto the Metromover which is FREE or walk to wherever it is your job is. Metromover is free and has over 25 stations in Downtown, at around one station for every two blocks, and they run every 60 seconds. Enjoy!
