Map of the Best Places to Live in Miami and Miami Beach

Posted by in Advice

South Florida is one of the most popular places in the entire country to move to, and almost every one of those people who are moving here are asking me “Where are the best places to live in Miami?”. Thankfully there’s a great interactive map that was created to answer that question!

City-Data user ‘Jacobmax‘ has created a very useful interactive Map of the Best Places to Live in Miami and Miami Beach called the ‘Miami Neighborhood-O-Meter’. The interactive map (below, with key) includes all of the neighborhoods and cities in Miami-Dade county, rated by quality of life (safety, crime, poverty, upkeep, amenities, reputability, etc.). The Map of the Best Places to Live in Miami and Miami Beach is color coded by neighborhood, with the best areas labeled in dark green color, and the worst areas labeled in red color (there is a complete key to this map at the end of this page). The creator of the map used factual government & public data, his own research, and ongoing community feedback to come up with the interactive map of Miami located below, and it’s updated regularly as Miami neighborhoods change.

The full size interactive map is below. You can zoom in & out, and click on any neighborhood to see the neighborhood name.
