Born and raised in Miami Ive lived in Westchester, Coconut Grove, Kendall, Hialeah, Flagler n 67Ave, Doral. I've been out partying many nights in downtown. Ive never had an issue ever. Miami overall is safe if you don't look for trouble. Worst thing about Miami is the cost of living and it's getting worse.
I seen that. I was thinking of trying to move there until I looked at rent. Crappy houses and apartments were going for $2,000 a month. No way can a single income afford that. I mean how do they charge someone making $2,200 a month 2,000? How is he supposed to pay bills, eat, etc.? It's not even possible. I make more than 2,200 but that's still wayy too much and that's what I make here. No guarantee I'd make that if I were to move.
Been to Miami a couple weeks ago as a tourist (I’m from Italy 🇮🇹 of Peruvian descent) and something crazy happened to me and my friend in Little Havana. We were following directions on Maps to find graffiti and we ended up in a side road near Flagler st. This dude standing with the back against the wall comes to us and says “If you go further we gon kill you, we gon rob you… as a matter of fact I should rob you right know”. We were hella scared so we explained we were tourists and we were up to no trouble. “Look, I see y’all don’t know Miami, I’m gonna help you find your way out these blocks. Stay close to me and no one will ever touch you” he said. We didn’t know what to do, he was visibly drunk and looking around and seeing the kind of people around we had no choice but to follow him. “Everybody around here knows if we dare to touch tourists we gon get 25 years inside” - he told us. We were like “Oh really?? That’s crazy bro”. Not gonna lie, 3 times he stopped people who were following us, probably because they saw my friend was carrying his backpack. “They with me, they good” - he said to them. Thank god he took us out the hood and led us until the bus stop for Miami Downtown. Never in my life I had experienced something like that, it was surreal
That was the wrong thing to say, you are a tourist. Next time, just leave. I'm born and raised in Miami Polk and bean projects. Believe me when I see don't explain yourself.Just leave.Next time, no where you're going and don't stop alone side a road.

Great video. One thing, it’s interesting we always view ‘gentrification’ as a negative. The alternative is leaving these communities the way they are… violent, unhealthy areas to live. As long as developers include portions of affordable housing (I admit this is rare) and historic districts are left untouched (this is the law), gentrification is a great thing.
I was raised in Miami bought my first home in Miami and still live in Miami. I love the gentrification it’s making my community look better and cleaner. I now feel safer to walk my dogs around the neighborhood. I didn’t think I would ever want to do it until one day I seen a white guy walking his dog. And then I seen more white people walking their dogs and going on family strolls around the corner ( I know they’re Hispanic 😊) I say well, I’ll be. No I’m just kidding. That’s what my grandmother would say. But yeah, the change is great.
Agreed. Gentrification is better than the alternative, which is keeping those places as tax burdens to the city. I rather a place be gentrified, than leave it as a place filled with crime.
@@robertmontoya5044 “fixing” things costs money. Whoever lives there has to pay additional rent/mortgage. If those original folks improved their skillset and earned more money, they could stay! Nobody says they can’t. Just have to be able to afford quality living.

The hoods are disappearing in Miami rapidly due to gentrification. You should have seen Miami in the 1990s/1980s. I will say this though, regardless of what they do to the city, the place is a dump and will remain a dump. It is a tropical Cleveland. In fact, even that is an insult to Cleveland. I just can't see how anyone can live there anymore.
give me $1,000,000 and expect me to end up in Corral Gables. its got great parts too. Best latin Food and culture. Cleavland is a frozen tundra next to a snow lake.. Miami is Miami regardless of what the bad parts look like.

I was born in Miami 1952. There was beautiful wild birds and just gorgeous back then Went down in 1983 will never go back for anything. If I want the ocean will go to Cape Cod or Jersey Shore
my old neighborhood of Miami Gardens has gotten pretty bad from what I've heard. i lived there from '69 to '82, when it was just unincorporated Dade County. now its rated #10 medium sized city in the nation in terms of violent crime.
mark, I recently went to Chicago. And saw its worst streets from O Block, to Humbolt Park, To Little Village, Southside, and most the cities notorious areas. Chicago is a VERY CLEAN and NICE CITY. hard to even tell if an area is bad because structurally its a SOUND CITY. despite the cold weather, on a nice summer day.. CHICAGO has lots of great areas to offer. I don't know if your referring to crime, it definitely felt unsafe but Chicago felt like a clean and orderly city to me structurally well cared for even in the bad parts. I guess its all in the eye of the beholder.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS I lived in Chicago for 14 years. Moved to Miami in 2019. Chicago is a great city. But the crime is out of control. Even in Lincoln Park. With the crime, high taxes and shitty weather, I couldn’t wait to get our. And I lived in Roscoe Village. A very nice area. Even there I head gunshots. And car jackings are the worst in the nation.
@@markprad what caught me off guard about Chicago was how clean and orderly every building is used and it did seam like you have massive job opportunities and if it wasn't for the weather. I loved the food we had sadly someone was killed right behind the place we were eating at that day. I wanna see more of Chicago... just not when its in the 20s like on my trip this month. I wanna see it in the summer. Great American cities, crappy weather tho.
I worked in all these areas doing hurricane clean up. There's is lots of beautiful homes and lots of nice people that live in these area. every house is not rundown
There's alot probably over half of miami overtown Liberty city Opa-locka Miami gardens Gould's Homestead Florida city North Miami Perrine Richmond heights Parts of south Miami Parts of coconut grove Parts of Kendall west 152 ave Parts of Hialeah Parts of west chester Little hatti Little havanna Brownsville Allapatah Parts of cutler ridge South Miami heights Naranja Brown sub Im sure there is more but at least 3 on that list has a higher murder rate than Detroit. Miami has some seriously dangerous areas bullet holes in buildings and all. The tourist industry does not want you to know.
U do realise brownsub and Brownsville da same thing and Brownsville aka brown sub is in liberty city besides other neighborhood thats why liberty city known for being da largest neighborhood in miami bc its stretch from da north to da west of miami dats near by
It is odd how fascinated people are with ghetto neighborhoods. So many channels film videos in these neighborhoods. I live in Brandon and work in Ybor City. I find myself in all these neighborhoods you just featured in the Tampa video. I’m either trying to get around traffic or there are businesses there that I patronage. They’re really not interesting places. If there are reasons to be there they are not dangerous but in all honesty if you go sight seeing on my block and no one recognizes you there will likely be as much of a problem. Even in this supposedly middle class neighborhood.
i find it fascinating because it is so different of everything i have ever seen. i wanna see how ppl live their lives and what they do all day. it is just so interesting
You can ALWAYS tell someone who hasn't lived in a particular city for a time (if even at all), doesn't know how locals pronounce street names, it's a dead giveaway! 😉
Little Havana is not hood… and honestly there’s not really much of a reason to go outside of 8th street as a tourist, unless you want authentic nica food for example Yambo, pinolandia. Other than that not much of a reason for you to go into the pockets of neighborhoods unless you’re already doing sketchy with a local. In fact the roads is a really nice neighborhood in little Havana!
East little Havana is not that safe especially passed 12th avenue these blocks are really sketchy, I grew up on NW 2nd st by 10th avenue and SW 5th st by riverside park. It’s way better than it was 10 years ago but still a lot of crime , poverty & still a little bit of a gang presence mainly by Henderson park. Don’t not sleep on this neighborhood especially passed 11 pm.
Many parts of Miami feels like a 3rd world country. Many of the people make you feel like you have encountered an animalistic tribe, rather than civilized people.
Drugs and crime has ruined these areas. Maybe eventually the prices to live here will drive the poor people away. It is getting too expensive to live here even for a lot of middle income people.
im from Liberty City Pork Can Bean projects.... stayed there from 2 to 22 years old.... man when i hear about when people talk about my old hood, i think about the friends i had and also the friends that passed. it was sad that they never got the chance to see the age off 25. thank you God for turning my life around at 21 and thank you God for keeping me from getting killed. thats why i do Christian rap becuz He took care me coming up and until this day....... it was a calling on my life. now im 39 and now im doing something real big in my life. im making tik tok videos to show the stuff i witness in the hood coming up and i Act real good doing my videos.

I guess to each is own when it comes to their experience and opinions. Liberty Square is home to me. I don’t bother it and it don’t bother me.
I've worked in all of these neighborhoods for 20+ years, for better or worse. Commonality is -the bad areas are ones where people just tolerate criminal activity. The people that live there really DO NOT CARE. It is understood that you move to those areas so you can BE A PART OF IT. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't seen it from the inside.
I live in Houston. At least in Miami there are neighborhoods you can be in by day. Houston has areas you don't go to period unless you live there and they know who does...
I grew up in Liberty City. Trina was my classmate and Uncle Luke's mother house was not too far from where I grew up. I dont remember Little Havana being rough, it was soft to me. He said he was a tour guide but he mispronounced Allapatah. It is pronounced Al-La-Pat-A .
@SOUTHERN LIFE if you have 💰, that's a good idea. If you don't, then don't do it. Too move to a nice part of the city, not low income and not average, I mean middle class suburbs and above. You need money. If you are moving there just to be average, that's silly. Never move to a new city just to live in someone else's ghetto or low income area. It's different if you are from there. Same goes for NY, Cali, ATL, or anywhere else. Why move to a ghetto you didn't grow up in??? That just puts a target on your back. Or why move to a city, just to be average??? Or just get buy??? Miami takes money to live well. You can spend half the money somewhere else and get a huge house 🏠 in an upper tier neighborhood. Then, use the money you save to visit Miami as much as you like. I don't know your finances, only you know that. But if you aren't already Ballin, what are you moving there for? The cost of living is getting out of control in South Florida, but if you got it like that, then do it.
Great video, I realize a year old and a couple of these areas have really changed. One is overtown just north of downtown. When I worked over there years ago, high density apartment buildings mostly, but in the last few years, you wouldn't recognize it, those older buildings gone, new ones replaced them, and 6 times the rent of what people were paying. Another area is coconut grove, used to be as you drove off us1 at Grand Ave you would go through rows of apartments built years ago. Now same as overtown, new buildings everywhere at 6 times what people were paying. Great location, only a few miles up us1 and you are downtown or easy access to beaches on key Biscayne. But in putting in these new buildings really gutted the character of the area. You could at one time go to Grove cinema on weekends and see Rocky horror picture show, or many other things to do, replaced years ago by a CVS, just what the world needs another one of those, killing any local pharmacy that might have been there originally.

Great video. One thing, it’s interesting we always view ‘gentrification’ as a negative. The alternative is leaving these communities the way they are… violent, unhealthy areas to live.
As long as developers include portions of affordable housing (I admit this is rare) and historic districts are left untouched (this is the law), gentrification is a great thing.
An oversimplification of gentrification… but okay 👍🏾 👌🏾
I was raised in Miami bought my first home in Miami and still live in Miami. I love the gentrification it’s making my community look better and cleaner. I now feel safer to walk my dogs around the neighborhood. I didn’t think I would ever want to do it until one day I seen a white guy walking his dog. And then I seen more white people walking their dogs and going on family strolls around the corner ( I know they’re Hispanic 😊) I say well, I’ll be. No I’m just kidding. That’s what my grandmother would say. But yeah, the change is great.
Agreed. Gentrification is better than the alternative, which is keeping those places as tax burdens to the city. I rather a place be gentrified, than leave it as a place filled with crime.
So the alternative is leaving it bad instead of actually fixing it for the original residents? Wake up and get real.
@@robertmontoya5044 “fixing” things costs money. Whoever lives there has to pay additional rent/mortgage. If those original folks improved their skillset and earned more money, they could stay! Nobody says they can’t. Just have to be able to afford quality living.
Im tell you this lots of the locals dont say dade they say 305..
Thanks for this video. Please do a similar video with moderate cost & quality neighborhoods.
You are either rich or poor..... Period! LOL
Yall, Remember Uncle Al and the Poison Clan? The parties on 2-2 Ave? The Pac Jam? The Soul Bowl between The West and Jackson? Over Town vs Liberty City? The old Time Hurricances? The Pork n Bean Projects? Lodgemont Projects? Carol City? Opa Locka? 163rd Street Mall? ........
Miami is a east coast la. Two cities favor each other in many ways.
One side rich and fancy, the other side grimey poverty. No middle ground there
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS same with la. Its crazyyy
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS ouuu yeahh la aint all rich and fancy. It has its areas like miami thats very poor and poverty as well. It will most def suprise you. Yall got to come here out west. But the 2 cities do favor eavh other in some parts.

No
I've been to both. Nothing alike. I live a few counties north of Miami.
I was working at the ice palace and was almost robbed twice. Didn’t feel too safe in that area.
I'm from the UK and was on holiday in Miami in 2023. One night i walked the long road/motorway from Mid-Beach to the airport in the middle of the night (1am-2am) and ended up going to a gas station (Chevron) in Brownsville after passing Earlington Heights train station. I thought i was going to die, zombie-like crackheads aggressively begging for money, slow driving tinted cars, one of the spookiest places i have been in real life .
Sounds about right
I’m actually from Liberty City. Don’t hold your head down. You’ll look suspicious. I grew up in Brownsville for years before I moved to LC so trust me we hate suspicious people because you might be uc (undercover. Nod yo head as a sign of respect and keep moving.

The hoods are disappearing in Miami rapidly due to gentrification. You should have seen Miami in the 1990s/1980s. I will say this though, regardless of what they do to the city, the place is a dump and will remain a dump. It is a tropical Cleveland. In fact, even that is an insult to Cleveland. I just can't see how anyone can live there anymore.
give me $1,000,000 and expect me to end up in Corral Gables. its got great parts too. Best latin Food and culture. Cleavland is a frozen tundra next to a snow lake.. Miami is Miami regardless of what the bad parts look like.

Up north like Baltimore their is Baltimore City and Baltimore county. Two separate places even though Bmore county surrounds the city
I got arrested in overtown and had to live in a doc program on the border of liberty city and northside. Northside was my metro stop. The first day out of jail I go to sleep and wake up to a dead body hanging out of a car parked right along the outside of the fence.

I would have thought some parts of Chicago would rival areas in Miami in regards to danger/criminal activity.
Miami is fucked up
Chicago is much more dangerous.
Man appreciate the video this is the closest I'll travel to Miami right now good looking!!!
I was born in Miami 1952. There was beautiful wild birds and just gorgeous back then Went down in 1983 will never go back for anything. If I want the ocean will go to Cape Cod or Jersey Shore
Those beaches don't compare to FL beaches 🤣🤣🤣
yeah same type of folks are taking over north florida now
I love all the colors of the old buildings - it’s a vibe 🤩
my old neighborhood of Miami Gardens has gotten pretty bad from what I've heard. i lived there from '69 to '82, when it was just unincorporated Dade County. now its rated #10 medium sized city in the nation in terms of violent crime.
The pronunciation is wild. Allahpataaaah lol ! Westchester in da house
305 till I move!
Miami is like any big city. You want to see bad ‘hoods. Go to Chicago. Miami’s bad neighborhoods are a paradise compared to Chi.
mark, I recently went to Chicago. And saw its worst streets from O Block, to Humbolt Park, To Little Village, Southside, and most the cities notorious areas. Chicago is a VERY CLEAN and NICE CITY. hard to even tell if an area is bad because structurally its a SOUND CITY. despite the cold weather, on a nice summer day.. CHICAGO has lots of great areas to offer. I don't know if your referring to crime, it definitely felt unsafe but Chicago felt like a clean and orderly city to me structurally well cared for even in the bad parts. I guess its all in the eye of the beholder.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS I lived in Chicago for 14 years. Moved to Miami in 2019. Chicago is a great city. But the crime is out of control. Even in Lincoln Park. With the crime, high taxes and shitty weather, I couldn’t wait to get our. And I lived in Roscoe Village. A very nice area. Even there I head gunshots. And car jackings are the worst in the nation.
@@markprad Miami is Miami 🌴 the cold weather alone would deter me from wanting to be in Chicago.
@@markprad what caught me off guard about Chicago was how clean and orderly every building is used and it did seam like you have massive job opportunities and if it wasn't for the weather. I loved the food we had sadly someone was killed right behind the place we were eating at that day. I wanna see more of Chicago... just not when its in the 20s like on my trip this month. I wanna see it in the summer. Great American cities, crappy weather tho.
My cuzin been staying in Chicago for over 15 years from Miami n she said she never comin back to Miami

He was focused on the city of Miami... not Dade county... but your list is pretty spot on..
U do realise brownsub and Brownsville da same thing and Brownsville aka brown sub is in liberty city besides other neighborhood thats why liberty city known for being da largest neighborhood in miami bc its stretch from da north to da west of miami dats near by
Florida City esta de pinga.
Pork and Beans
It is odd how fascinated people are with ghetto neighborhoods. So many channels film videos in these neighborhoods. I live in Brandon and work in Ybor City. I find myself in all these neighborhoods you just featured in the Tampa video. I’m either trying to get around traffic or there are businesses there that I patronage. They’re really not interesting places. If there are reasons to be there they are not dangerous but in all honesty if you go sight seeing on my block and no one recognizes you there will likely be as much of a problem. Even in this supposedly middle class neighborhood.
cnc813, love the Brandon, Tampa, Ybor area, I live in Winter Haven just east of Lakeland.
i find it fascinating because it is so different of everything i have ever seen. i wanna see how ppl live their lives and what they do all day. it is just so interesting
Nice video hi Katie 👋🏼
Thanks! can't wait to get traveling again were still recovering.
The happy music at the end 😂
Why do you pronounce Allapatah like that?
Not sure 😅
You can ALWAYS tell someone who hasn't lived in a particular city for a time (if even at all), doesn't know how locals pronounce street names, it's a dead giveaway! 😉
Ah La Pa duh
Little Havana is not hood… and honestly there’s not really much of a reason to go outside of 8th street as a tourist, unless you want authentic nica food for example Yambo, pinolandia. Other than that not much of a reason for you to go into the pockets of neighborhoods unless you’re already doing sketchy with a local. In fact the roads is a really nice neighborhood in little Havana!
East little Havana is not that safe especially passed 12th avenue these blocks are really sketchy, I grew up on NW 2nd st by 10th avenue and SW 5th st by riverside park. It’s way better than it was 10 years ago but still a lot of crime , poverty & still a little bit of a gang presence mainly by Henderson park. Don’t not sleep on this neighborhood especially passed 11 pm.
Miami have the worst hoods in Florida I been through the hole Florida they move different down there they are calculated when they move.
Pronounce Allapattah correctly. You forgot one of the worst neighborhoods in Miami, Pork and Beans.
Pork and beans is liberty square 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴 people act like they know alot but be slow
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS it’s still a neighborhood, as small as it might be homey.
I pronounce it, "Alapada" withthe same vowels and syllable stress as for Alabama. Is that correct?

Yeah i did a video there before

We did several videos there for history to be preserved
I just got back from Miami. South beach was nice but over that bridge was like New Jack City. Reminded me of home 🏡 😂
Drugs and crime has ruined these areas. Maybe eventually the prices to live here will drive the poor people away. It is getting too expensive to live here even for a lot of middle income people.
True. It's gonna be bulldoze and turn into high-rises.
im from Liberty City Pork Can Bean projects.... stayed there from 2 to 22 years old.... man when i hear about when people talk about my old hood, i think about the friends i had and also the friends that passed. it was sad that they never got the chance to see the age off 25. thank you God for turning my life around at 21 and thank you God for keeping me from getting killed. thats why i do Christian rap becuz He took care me coming up and until this day....... it was a calling on my life. now im 39 and now im doing something real big in my life. im making tik tok videos to show the stuff i witness in the hood coming up and i Act real good doing my videos.
That song at the end was my jam!

I guess to each is own when it comes to their experience and opinions. Liberty Square is home to me. I don’t bother it and it don’t bother me.
The Goulds and Naranja should have made the list
I've worked in all of these neighborhoods for 20+ years, for better or worse. Commonality is -the bad areas are ones where people just tolerate criminal activity. The people that live there really DO NOT CARE. It is understood that you move to those areas so you can BE A PART OF IT. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't seen it from the inside.
I always visit little havana at night by the east side and its not that bad.

@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS No
@@Think1stMedia i might move to miami soon
@SOUTHERN LIFE if you have 💰, that's a good idea. If you don't, then don't do it. Too move to a nice part of the city, not low income and not average, I mean middle class suburbs and above. You need money.
If you are moving there just to be average, that's silly. Never move to a new city just to live in someone else's ghetto or low income area. It's different if you are from there.
Same goes for NY, Cali, ATL, or anywhere else. Why move to a ghetto you didn't grow up in??? That just puts a target on your back.
Or why move to a city, just to be average??? Or just get buy???
Miami takes money to live well. You can spend half the money somewhere else and get a huge house 🏠 in an upper tier neighborhood. Then, use the money you save to visit Miami as much as you like. I don't know your finances, only you know that. But if you aren't already Ballin, what are you moving there for?
The cost of living is getting out of control in South Florida, but if you got it like that, then do it.
Lol imagine doing food delivery at night 😂
The Pork n Beans projects got number 1 yay!

I'm from East Lil Havana and I couldn't help but laugh to see my neighborhood in this vid, you're not wrong, it really isn't safe out here
Great video, I realize a year old and a couple of these areas have really changed. One is overtown just north of downtown. When I worked over there years ago, high density apartment buildings mostly, but in the last few years, you wouldn't recognize it, those older buildings gone, new ones replaced them, and 6 times the rent of what people were paying. Another area is coconut grove, used to be as you drove off us1 at Grand Ave you would go through rows of apartments built years ago. Now same as overtown, new buildings everywhere at 6 times what people were paying. Great location, only a few miles up us1 and you are downtown or easy access to beaches on key Biscayne. But in putting in these new buildings really gutted the character of the area. You could at one time go to Grove cinema on weekends and see Rocky horror picture show, or many other things to do, replaced years ago by a CVS, just what the world needs another one of those, killing any local pharmacy that might have been there originally.
Go to NW 27th Avenue and 62nd. It’s the same there to.
Same in north miami dade county
I lived in miami for 10 years, i’m surprised that Hialeah was not in the top 10
Hialeah is "the city that always progress." It's more of upper middle class place.
