Do people live in downtown Miami?

I am moving to Miami this summer, and still considering where to live. I have been told that traditionally, no one lived in downtown Miami, but that this has changed over the past few years and it is now a good place to live (I would be working downtown, and my grilfirend would most likely be working in SoBe- would it be easy for her to get there from downtown?). Is downtown Miami indeed a good place to live?

If so, are downtown residences primarily condos, or are small houses/duplexes availabe to rent as well?

If it is (as I suspect) mostly cond buildings, what are good ones to live in? (I would really prefer testimonials from people currently living in downtown condos, or people with friends living in one on this point, if possible).

What is the range of rent in the area? I will be working as a lawyer, but for the state, and with a massive student loan burden, so the less expensive the better!

Miami is beautiful! I am a paralegal and made the choice to move there but for personal reasons had to return. I was on a job interview in downtown Miami and saw alot of run down apartment complexes, but I dont recall high residency. Miami is pretty big and you can certainly find something reasonable in the City of Miami. I myself was apartment hunting and found some good deals. Best wishes! I hope to return there myself! ( I am soooo jealous)!

Good chances that homeless people are living downtown. Just like any city.

There are better areas than downtown Miami. If you can afford it though.

Stop by a real estate agency they'll let you know which areas are good to live in.

Good luck.
