Miami Florida Living
One of the most recognized cities in the country, Miami is everything you’ve heard and more! Known as the “Magic City,” this sprawling hub of economic activity offers something for everyone, depending on where you want to live and what you want to do.
Miami is the county seat of Miami-Dade County and in the top 50 largest cities in the country. Most of the city is on Biscayne Bay with many residents living on artificial and natural barrier islands. Miami Beach and South Beach are on two of the largest islands. The city is highly diverse with a mix of cultures including Cubans, West Indians, and more.
Playing and Working in Miami
Due to its size and economic activity, many U.S. and international businesses headquarter themselves in the city. Just a few of the companies that call Miami home include Bacardi, Celebrity Cruises, CompUSA, Inktel Direct, Lennar, Perry Ellis International, Telemundo, and Univision. Because of its high Hispanic population, other companies have their Latin American headquarters in the city – American Airlines, Disney, Kraft Foods, Microsoft, Wal-Mart, and more. Downtown Miami has the largest concentration of international banks in the U.S. while Port of Miami is the top cruise passenger port in the world.
When it’s time to head out, enjoy the city, and relax, you’ll have no shortage of options. For sports fans, Miami is home to the Miami Dolphins, Miami Heat, Florida Marlins, and, for college fans, Miami Hurricanes. If you’d rather play yourself, you can enjoy any number of city facilities such as Bayfront Park, Grapeland Park, Douglas Park, and many more. Don’t miss the Miami Seaquarium and other local attractions.
Restaurants, nightclubs, comedy clubs, cultural events – they’re all here in Miami. The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), the Miami Children’s Museum, Vizcaya Museum and Gardens are just a few of the city’s museums. The Miami City Ballet, New World Symphony Orchestra, and Jackie Gleason Theatre are just a few venues offering different performance arts to enjoy. Festivals are very popular in the cooler months – Calle Oche, Carnaval, music festivals, fashion shows, and the list goes on.
