    The first apartment cause of location is everything. The restaurant and beach were right there for you.

    Hi Monroe! You’ve got some great options. I’m a native Miamian and if you’re interested in widening your search , there are tons of places near the beach which aren’t exactly in South Beach. South Beach tends to be extra touristy and hence you get less space for more money. For example, north bay village offers bigger apartments that are near the beach. The Design District/ Midtown/wynwood are great areas for shopping, walking, and eating. The beach is not within direct walking distance but the ocean is. It is a 5-10 minute drive and you can still have water views (not wynwood). I didn’t even mention some of the other places like upper buena vista and places a little farther north... either way, I hope you make a choice that’s ideal for you. Welcome !

    • @mytemporaryobsession
      @mytemporaryobsession 3 года назад +1

      Agreed. North Bay Village (not many restaurants but very quite and safe to walk around) and Edgewater ( more hip and walkable) are great areas. The Freebee is a great ride service for easy transportation that is free.

    I feel you about aesthetically pleasing

  • @LindseyDara
    @LindseyDara 3 года назад +3

    Central air is great, bc sometimes those wall units can be noisy. And you will be using the AC probably 10 months a year, so I always look for central AC!

  • @LindseyDara

    If you want to be close to action and beach, live close to a Lincoln road/West Avenue. Also, anywhere along meridian is popular as it’s the middle street and tree lived, trust me the shade is important! Also, south of fifth avenue (Sofi) is a beautiful area, and least touristy, there is a big park, 2-5 minutes from beach, tree lined streets, and upscale vibe. It’s my preferred area. You can walk to publix in about 5-8 minutes. I recommend the Cosmopolitan building. It’s my fave!

    Beautiful places in the beach! I’m from Miami born and raised. Moved to NY lol Your perspective is spot on. I will say though eventually you will need a car. In order to really experience South Florida and surrounding areas, especially when you begin to network out, you’ll want to travel freely and more over leave freely. Lots to see and do on the mainland away from the beach. It sucks but it’s a need because public transportation is not as great as NY. It’s the one thing about NY that saved me some serious coin not needing to pump money into car payment, insurance etc. registration tags titles not to mention the traffic ticket trapping down there is serious. It made me hate cars so much I haven’t gotten one since up here in 5 years.
    But good luck with everything looking at these apartments made me so homesick. I miss all the excellent food and weather! My favorite part of town I lived in was Mimo upper east side has a nice vibe and not far from everything.

      Agreed I probably won't get a car until I actually purchase a property here.

  • @donnaneal7947
    @donnaneal7947 3 года назад +2

    The first apartment is everything. You really won’t need a car in your down time. It perfect with lighting. Even though it doesn’t have central-air, it did have window units. And having your own washer & dryer is a plus.

  • @desireejennings5932
    @desireejennings5932 3 года назад +1

    Also laundry inside is a must! Sharing especially during these times is very concerning. Really like the first especially being close to everything.

  • @shontemartinez7826
    @shontemartinez7826 3 года назад +1

    I liked them all but the first was the best. You also mentioned it was in a perfect location. Close to the beach, restaurants and shops. I have been so inspired so much by a person I never met. Watching your vlogs I have stepped my game up.

  • @westcoastcali703
    @westcoastcali703 3 года назад +19

    If only u cud move the 3rd apt. to the location of the 1st apt. 🤔 having ur OWN bathroom is a huge bonus. U'll find the perfect place soon. Happy Apartment Hunting.💗

  • @vbrown8983

    Monroe I also live in NYC there's an ambulance station in my neighborhood , always racing out to save folks particularly when I'm on the phone😒 always say a prayer for whomever they're going out to save. I have family in WPB, Florida which I go once a year to see. Its peace and quiet there, trust and believe me I know what you mean😂 I love new York too but it's good to get away. you deserve all that you're planning 😁I wish you all best life has in stored for you, good luck on finding your dream apt in Miami.💃💃💃

    Hi Monroe, I am so excited for you. My favorite for you was apartment #1 because of the central location to food and entertainment. Also the lovely balcony with the ceiling fan. Reminds me of a resort in the islands. Thanks for taking us along and good luck with your apartment hunting.

  • @meciesmoments6550
    @meciesmoments6550 3 года назад +2

    Awesome! Apartment No. 1 is definitely the best option of these 3! Your energy was so high when you spoke about it! It's really nice! I am so excited for you!!! It's happening! I am looking forward to your future Miami Beach Apartment Tour vlog! Coming very soon!! Congratulations! Love from Houston! xoxo

It’s really inspirational for me to step out in faith and not in fear...chasing what feels good to your soul and not letting the voices of other cloud your choices. Side note: skews anyone know what lipstick she’s wearing in this video ??

    I do remember her. So the hunt begins. Let's do it! Make sure you check for maraquana smoke in the evening. Be a shame to be sitting on your balcony relaxing with a glass of wine, the evening breeze is gently blowing and here comes the weed scent. At the end of the day I'm unwinding and all I can smell is weed I'm gonna b hella mad! Ambience is everyting! For sure I loved the 3rd with the 1.5 bath. The lightening was life. Loved the vibe. Thanks Monroe.

  • @msterrinicole

    @cindyt39 3 года назад +1

    I like the third apartment because it bigger, ( living room) window view; you're not in direct view of your neighbors and mostly because of your own bathroom but the first is better because of the location of your desire; near the beach, shops, restaurants, etc. Thanks for sharing another enjoyable video. I know you will find the right apartment soon. Take care.

Like you don’t even know. I moved to Tampa after going back to law school and my ceiling fan is on right now. Have fun.

    I like apartment #1 - because of the location and the balcony - very nice. And then apartment # 3 because of the space. Just make sure the different air conditioning units are not so noisy. All three were great choices. I know you are trying to buy so I am sure you have to mind a budget but # 1 was my 1st choice.

    It's apartment 3 for me purely because aesthetically it spoke to me with the light and art deco styling. The en-suite bathroom didn't hurt either; it's a pity that the apartment went but I'm sure you'll find one really soon that meets all the criteria. All the best of British luck to you and I'm looking forward to the 'new Miami apartment tour' video coming soon.

    I can feel your excitement of the move through the screen.. before you settle on one try to go back at night and at least get a vibe of what it's like after dark. Also in my experience being on the top floor is better you don't want to have the Cloggers living above you stomping the yard all night. I hated my stackable washer and dryer I would always bang my head on the dryer door when I bent down to get the clothes out the washer to put them into the dryer. Good luck.

    The Sunrise at East Miami Hotel struck me about an apartment that I viewed near DC. It had a balcony with a view of the Sunset & Pine Trees towering above.🌲 More deja'vus...it was taken too.😏 All these apartments are Likeable, the layout & special touches like fireplace, alcove, cubby shelves, patio, walkin closet, in the Aesthetically plessasing unit #1 are Loveable. But is the Livingroom spacious enough for you Madame Monroe? All seem comparable with HWF (which is a MUST for me), modern kitchens & bathrooms, but unit #3 knocked unit #2F out the box with its powder room & better kitchen layout & laundry closet.

    Out of the three it seems like option 1 gives you the most privacy. I would not select option 2, you might end up having your window blinds closed in the living room all of the time which defeats the purpose of having light. I had this issue with an old place... but sheer curtains could help with that. Best on your search!!!

    Apartment #1 is the best. Love the balcony.
