Welcome to Miami’s Curbed Comparisons, a column that explores what one can rent or buy for a set dollar amount across various South Florida neighborhoods. Is one man's studio another man's townhouse? Let's find out!
We hit up the Miami area last week with a rental budget of $1,200 per month, where voters settled on a studio in Normandy Isles.
This week, we’re home shopping with a budget of $925,000.
Our house hunt takes us through Palmetto Bay, South Beach, Coral Gables, North Miami, and Miami Shores. Which one is it going to be?
We’ll start with the least expensive property and move our way up.
