Expats moving to Miami will find a truly Latin American city that influences both the USA and the rest of the world. The culture that the Latin American based communities bring to the city has created an ultra hip, edgy, and young character.

Miami is also the traditional beach vacation destination for much of the country. This infuses the economy with tourism money and results in an assortment of activities, restaurants and nightlife. That said, all of this vibrancy is set against the backdrop of some of the poorest communities in the country. This has adverse effects on all neighbourhoods and on city government's spending.

Expats moving to Miami should expect a unique blend of cultures and a city caught up in both beach luxury and international business.
