Hi all,

I currently live in the Jersey Shore (NOT from the show... those people were def not true Jersey-ians) but have received a couple job offers down in Miami. NJ cost of living is super high, and winters suck so my fiance and I are debating it. We are a young couple (28 / 24) and are going to be starting a family soon enough. I don't mind driving 30-40 min to work in downtown Miami so I'm looking for a nice safe area with a decent education system. My fiance is a teacher, and I work in IT. I'm also in the National Guard here in NJ which helps our cause somewhat... I would transfer to the Reserves or the Guard in FL, , so we are looking for homes $425,000 and under.

The hardest part is convincing her (and in reality I'll probably have to bring her mom if we move!), so I'm trying to really wow her when we come down for a visit / research trip. Can anyone give me some places that will give her the urge to move and are realistic for us? I appreciate it in advance!

Where exactly in Miami is your job going to be located?

I am in IT and sometimes drive to our corporate office in Brickell, I live in Weston (where the best schools are). 45 minutes if everything goes smoothly.

I have a coworker who drives to the same office from Sunrise every day (just north of Weston), and seems to be OK with it.

Oh, I am also a realtor

Weston definitely has a major WOW factor. You have to see it for yourself.
