I would steer clear of the suburbs. It's not that those areas are terrible or dangerous (although some are), they're just very much Latin dominated and also very insular. You're gonna be the odd man out if you're non-Hispanic and can't speak conversational Spanish.

Props to you on being single with no kids as Miami is best done as a single person IMO. Just do it right...get a nice place in the happening spot of town, hang out for a year or two, and then get the hell out. Nothing about the city is setup for longterm enjoyment and it will drive your soul into the dirt after awhile.

Bienvenido a Miami! The scenery is beautiful, the egos run sky high, and the yoga pants are on a whole different level of tightness that you didn't even know existed. Enjoy!

Good luck on getting a concealed carry permit in COVID times. I've been waiting 3+ months for mine.
