My wife and I are moving down from Michigan, she will be working around W Flagler Street downtown I believe, we are looking to rent for 800/mo or less if possible in a clean and safe area. Could anyone advise us on certain areas to begin our search? We had originally planned on St. Petersburg but she was offered a job in Miami so now we have 2 weeks to research the areas. a 30min drive to work would probably be the max assuming we can find what we're looking for in our price range. Any help would be appreciated.

$800 isn't much ... that said you can probably find a small studio in South Beach no parking (street parking). Cutler Bay, Perrine, Kendall or Homestead if you want to get a larger place you will find something in your price range. But the commute from Cutler Bay or Homestead to Brickell will be at least an hour during rush hour.

Kendall is a nice area, the commute will be 45 minutes probably if you live in East Kendall. If you find a place in West Kendall then the commute will be over an hour most likely. I just don't know if you will find something in East Kendall in that range. A friend of mine rents a 1 bedroom plus den townhouse in East Kendall and its $1300 a month, maybe you will be lucky and find a one bedroom in East Kendall in your budget. Why I said Homestead is a friend of mine rents a nice 2 bedroom on a lake for $900 a month. So you will get more for your budget, the commute just will be rough.

Kendall is good but I wouldn't move west of 137 Avenue. Too many apartments and homes on small lots.
