Have an opportunity to move to South Florida from California but I would be tagged to an office in Fort Lauderdale. I have wanted to move down for a while but not sure it would be as exciting if I am not in the typical spots for young professionals (Edgewater, Brickell, etc). Thoughts from current residents?

Fort Lauderdale ain’t that bad… if you want no commute and live in the younger people spots look for places in Las Olas, if you are willing to drive a bit to work you can look for a place in Aventura or Sunny Isles which is like a 30 minutes drive to FLL

I lived in midtown Miami and commuted to sunrise five times a week pre corvid, it is doable to live in Miami and work in broward. But I say try out living in FTL for the first year, it has a nice nightlife scene too and you can get a new apartment hundreds of dollars cheaper

Definitely not a bad move and way more cost effective to live in broward, but you’re only delaying the inevitable…corruption via perreo intenso/raggaeton

Moved to Miami 7 years ago, and I’ve had clients in Fort Lauderdale from time to time. I think it’s doable to still live in edgewater and make the commute. Traffic can be rough on 95, but I’d argue you’re going against it for the most part. May be biased, but its definitely a different vibe up there, and I personally wouldn’t want to give up Miami for the commute

California?! Their water in peak summer is colder than ours in January. California is great for surfing or just sitting on the beach, but not really a good place to enjoy the water.

Do you have to be in person in Ft. Lauderdale? If so, I would live there bc the commute will be hell. I live by Miami Beach and it takes me 35-40 minutes to get home from work (by wynwood). Also, Ft. Lauderdale is cheaper.

Not everyday but occasionally will need to go in.

I used to work in Downtown Fort Lauderdale and lived in Miami the traffic isn’t horrible but it’s a long drive regardless and it takes a toll after a few years. Downtown Fort Lauderdale is great if you’re looking for a quieter more relaxed vibe it’s cheaper and you’re in between Palm Beach and Miami for more options. If you’re set on living in Miami and commuting try to WFH as much as possible and consider taking the Brightline to Downtown Fort Lauderdale instead of driving.
