Hidden Gem Apartments in Miami

Hi Guys!!!

I've been apartment hunting for months and I'm starting to lose my mind with these insane prices. My budget is $2175 and I feel like I'm either looking at closets downtown or places way out in the boonies.

So I'm curious, where are you all actually living that doesn't completely suck? Are there any hidden gems I'm missing? Looking for:

• Decent management (no slumlords please!)
• Safe area (obviously)
• Not crazy noisy
• Hopefully some utilities included?

Some questions for current residents: - Do you actually LIKE your building? - What's the catch with your place? (There's always something lol) - Are utilities included or separate? - How's the parking situation? - Any buildings to absolutely avoid?

I know Brickell and South Beach are probably out of my budget unless I want to live in a shoebox, but I'm open to Edgewater, Wynwood, Little Havana, South Miami, Doral etc. Is $2175 even realistic anymore in Miami or should I just accept roommate life?

Thanks in advance!🫶🏼
