Hi there,

I am a 28 year old single guy living in the Boston area. I am looking to make the move to FL when my lease is up in Nov. I run my own company - so working will be done remotely from my residence.

I have narrowed my search down to: South Tampa, Ft Lauderdale, Brickell Miami area, Miami beach.

I like going out, and nightlife - but am not much of a club goer.

I have also been told West Palm has a lot of single 20 and 30 somethings.

i would love the advise of anyone who really knows any of these areas, and has some educated thoughts. I would also be open to other parts of FL if i am missing something.

I do have a dog, so pet friendly areas are best. i have been advised to look at the Tides at Brideside in Lauderdale, and 500 Brickell in Miami.

Any ideas and thoughts??

Thanks in advance!

stay away from miami.. Ft lauderdale or West Palm could be ok and driving distance for the nightlife in miami. I'd go Jupiter on the east coast or Boca raton.. West i'd go Sarasota.

How about Hollywood FL? I am looking at an ocean front spot there called the Tides. Any thoughts?

Any nightlife in Hollywood?

What kind of nightlife are you looking for if clubs are not on your agenda.

Sounds like you're looking for "pedestrian" neighborhoods, where you can walk/cab/public transport it around your area, as you can in Bean Town.

Mary Brickell Village is now a happening spot for 20-30 somethings. It's a great location to the Grove, Coral Gables, SoBe, Downtown and Key Biscayne. You can also hop on the People Mover or MetroRail, etc. There are some great pubs, restaurants and Tobacco Road gigs:

Other ideas would be: South Miami near Red/Sunset/MetroRail/UM, Hollywood Beach Boardwalk, Las Olas around Performing Arts Center in FLL and downtown St Pete Arts District.

Good Luck and Go Terriers!
