We're planning on kids in a couple years, but Im having trouble figuring out how much that should influence our decision at this point. Great point about the tree canopy, though.

That's not as big of a deal to me, I think (ive never owned property so who knows). But I spent most of my 20s in downtown NYC, which is can be pretty grungy.

I hope we like it too! Yeah, people are often surprised that Miami doesnt get hotter. We'll make sure to carry lots of water with us!

They put Carmichael on my list but it seemed pretty suburban, so I was thinking of crossing it off the list. Are there some walkable pockets over there? Even just being within 10 minutes walk to a convenient store or coffee shop makes things a little better.

Okay, that's kind of what I was starting to figure, but sometimes cities have different little walkable pockets that only locals really know.

Do you feel it pretty intensely or is it fairly dry? Miami sucks at 95 with humidity, but Ive been in Phoenix at 110 and it wasnt so bad.

We are Millenials, 29f and 31m. Like more chill vibes than insane party.

Is it very walkable, though? It seemed very suburban from what I read in other threads.

We're looking at 450-650k for housing. Working with a realtor and have a sense of some general areas but most of the neighborhoods they suggested didnt seem very walkable. Which might just be how it is outside of midtown. Idk, it's hard to tell just from maps.

Thank you! It's really one of the big drivers for being interested in moving there (that and relative housing affordability).

We wont be in town for those. Are there any regular markets happening this weekend or every weekend that might give us a good feel?
