  • Vacation in Miami Neighborhoods

     

        Sizzling, sun-drenched Miami is hot again -- the place to be seen and to make a scene. Its heavy Latin American influence, glitterati-infused party scene, delightful art deco architecture, contemporary art boom, and beaches of white-as-bleached-teeth sand make this a city like no other.
     
    If you are planning to relocate or travel to Miami, you are not alone. Miami-Dade County, also known as Metro-Dade County, has experienced a 20 percent growth in population over the last ten years, much of it from recent immigrants. The county now contains the second largest percentage of foreign-born residents in the United States. While the City of Miami boasts the largest population, many new residents choose to live outside the city, in surrounding municipalities and unincorporated areas of the County.
     
    Population: 360,000. 60% Hispanic. Miami is the largest city in Miami-Dade County and a city of extremes: spectacular wealth living side by side with dire poverty. It is both a bustling international financial Mecca and a hotbed of Latin music and culture that is sweeping America. Originally a town of white Southern farmers and businessmen, Miami is less a "melting pot" than a sometimes uneasy co-existence of unique cultures and customs: white, African-American, Latino, Haitian, Jewish.
     
                                  
     
    Over a dozen of different neighborhoods. They are used by the city of Miami, usually for planning purposes. Each of the Neighborhoods has a tourism office to help improve the neighborhoods travel and tourism. This is a list of the most popular neighborhoods of the City of Miami in the U.S. state of Florida.

  • Such range and so much possibility – for both spirit and appetite – ultimately impart to Miami a semblance of meaning that it neither needs nor demands. The city's allure remains independent of attempts to quantify it, and regardless of the effort, satisfaction comes with just experiencing it. After all, when sympathetic Miami climate and abundant care give rise to a strong, vivid hybrid, it's not the parentage that draws attention but simply the beauty of the flower.

    Sultry, seductive Miami entertains many identities: snowbird refuge, retiree haven, celebrity playground, immigrant stop-off and tourist mecca. All undeniably accurate, they're telling descriptors of everything this dazzling city embraces. They're also indicative of the melting-pot culture that has come to define South Florida, an area originally dismissed by developers. The region later found purpose as a resort destination for the wealthy and as farm land for Florida's first settlers. These initial roles ultimately led to today's Miami, a capital of commerce, recreation and self-assertive flamboyance.

    But what else could you ask of a sub-tropical wonderland washed by brilliant southern light and kissed by enveloping seas? As recently as the early 20th century, America's Riviera was largely a backwater. Its potential was finally brought to fruition by the advent and arrival of the railroad, promise of a year-round growing season, and the emerging leisure class's disposable income. These days, easy access is a given, and agriculture flourishes, but Miami's natural beauty – and its world-class Miami restaurants and Miami nightlife – most strongly render it a fashionable escape for fun and freedom.

    The primary locus for such hip activity is Miami Beach and, more specifically, South Beach (affectionately deemed SoBe). Artistic, self-aware and boasting some of the area's best beaches, it's an enclave that maintains its vibrancy no matter the moment, illuminated alternately by sunlight and neon. Here, Miami Art Deco landmarks tie past and present together with pastel sleekness, and here, impossibly beautiful people lounge during the day and posture in the night's wee hours.

    But Miami transcends the promoted glitz it's gained from association with movies, TV shows and magazine spreads. It encompasses Coconut Grove  residential beauty and superb shopping (CocoWalk and the Streets of Mayfair attract folks by droves) and Coral Gables' winding streets, Mediterranean architecture and refined lifestyle. It even reaches out to the quiet, suburban domesticity of South Dade with its Miami malls, parks and wildlife Miami attractions.

    Food and music, in fact, showcase Miami's zest for all things sensual. Cool jazz, spirited salsa rhythms, and a cuisine that unites fresh seafood, tropical fruits and tongue-tingling peppers provide evidence of a people and a city mesmerized by – and dedicated to – the spices of life. Give yourself over to its many incarnations in most sizzling Miami neighborhoods: Little Havana, SoBe or the Design District. Each one boasts top-notch clubs and superlative restaurants, energized by the buzz of a style-conscious clientele.
