Help Me Build The Ultimate Miami Map (Hialeah, Miami Beach: neighborhood, construction)

[twiggers]

I'm looking at Miami Beach and would like to finish off this area...can someone help out with the following:

Sunset Islands

Dodge Island (is this residential?)

Very southern tip of Miami Beach up to 20th street. I know there are pockets of very nice and some so-so. Any help in breaking this down would be great!

North of W 31st to W 42nd

Little islands off the 79th St. causeway

Normandy Isles

North shores/Biscayne point area

The whole area north of Sunny Isles Blvd.


I think that will take care of the entire island chain.

You're doing a really good job with this. You now have the correct placement of the canal that separates The Falls from Richmond Heights. When you get a chance, though, look at my latest long list of boundaries and update everything up to SW 8 St. - I have everything from coastal Brickell to the Everglades covered.

Sunset Islands -- for rich people, as are Palm and Hibiscus Island (trivia fact: there is a rental apartment building on Hibiscus Island)

Dodge Island is not residential.

If you're talking about South Point to 20th street, then you're pretty much talking about all of South Beach. Most things on the water (bay or ocean) are not cheap, although with the real estate crash, you can now find some relatievely low rents.

Not residential, so don't worry about rating

ALSO, the islands directly west of the North Shores area and directly north of Normandy Isles are a "5"

Twiggers:

Something weird is going on with the map. All of the updates up to "Unknown Are 21" show on one map, but when you click "next" to see descriptions of even more areas, a new map shows with JUST the colored-in areas for those areas. Play around with it and see what I mean.

For now, though, I will give you a few more boundaries.

Thanks Crisp! When I was doing it this morning it was showing OK. I'll check into it right now!

[MiguelVicente]

Twiggers, great job!!!!!

I was looking for something with this info.....

Keep working, really great...

Congrats...

[twiggers]

Thanks Miguel! I'm glad you find it helpful!!!


Crisp: I discovered the problem on Google. Unfortunately, until the map is completed, there is no way to fix it. When the map is finished I can do this: Google Maps

HAs all the same features, but it cannot be edited....but can be viewed.

For now, I'll continue to work off the original map, and maybe at the end of each day I'll post an updated collective map?!? Kind of a pain in the butt, but seems to be the only work-around.

[twiggers]

OK...got all the beach area done (I think)! Here is the map (where everything is on one page):

Google Maps

I'll add the others that you (Crisp) posted....probably tomorrow morning :-)

Crisp, what is this area east of US1 called, just out of curiosity? It has some of the worst poverty I have seen in Miami, and it's located within these (otherwise glitzy) boundaries.

Check the streetview. I was stunned the first time I saw this in person. Zooming by on US1, you would never even know it was there. I used to think it was a forest.
