⚠️ Remember: Flood Zones & Building Safety
Neighborhood averages are useful, but in Miami, individual building characteristics matter more. Always check flood zone (Zone X is lowest risk), 40-year recertification status, and hurricane preparedness for any building you're considering.
How We Compare Miami Neighborhoods
StreetSmart's neighborhood comparisons use real data from Miami-Dade County Code Enforcement, building permits, FEMA flood maps, and property records to help you make informed decisions. Unlike other sites that rely on subjective opinions, we analyze:
- Average Building Score: Overall quality based on violations, complaints, and maintenance
- Post-Andrew Construction: Percentage of buildings built after 1994 with stricter codes
- Violation Rates: How many buildings have outstanding code violations
- Building Age: Mix of newer construction vs older buildings
Each comparison includes links to the best-rated buildings in both neighborhoods, so you can start your apartment search with confidence.
Note: Florida prohibits rent control statewide, so all Miami apartments are market rate. The most important factors for Miami renters are building safety (flood zones, recertification) and hurricane preparedness.
