Answering this question is not easy, but not as difficult as facing adolescence, in the first person, as well as being a parent of some. This question is also asked by those of us who still have children. Because in less than a rooster crows, the boys have already grown. Today, in a world that seems to advance very fast. Children undergo a kind of early maturation. We already talk about Pre-teens. Almost or very similar, still retaining their attachment to the family nucleus. Moving to South Florida, without knowing it, is a great challenge that we must all address.
Deciding which is the best city to finish raising our children, should be one of the primary factors to choose the city.
We must always remember that what many of us know as Miami, is actually a compendium of many cities distributed in 3 huge counties.
Cities such as Doral, Weston or Coral Springs are usually preferred by many people, given the quality of Public Schools. And we must remember that this is a fundamental factor, we invite you to read
Choosing Public School for children
.
In general, good public schools cause the prices of properties to buy or rent to vary upwards with respect to other areas of cities where schools are not well rated. We are of the opinion that in general, each city, has enough offer in properties according to the tastes and possibilities of each one.
Cities don’t raise our children
But what cities do do is offer a series of advantages in public, sports and cultural facilities. The commercial offer in diversity of establishments and premises by franchise means that we practically find everything, everywhere. Or else, as we South Florida residents say, we will always find what we are looking for at least 15 minutes away, by car.
There are definitely cities more oriented to business and finance, cosmopolitan cities and almost always oriented to tourism, such as Miami Beach, South Beach, Fort Lauderdale, among others. They are cities where those of us who are parents, prefer to see with a magnifying glass, or not be, because there are few options for good schools, and that are cosmopolitan metropolises for an adult-young population all linked to sectors such as finance, international business and a vibrant nightlife. But, even so, there is everything in the vineyard of the Lord, and youth emerges even in these cities characterized by fashion, tourism and rumba.
Large apartment towers are located in Aventura, Downtown Miami, Brickell and Coral Gables, among other similar cities. This makes these cities very similar to the big cities in our countries, such as Bogotá, Caracas, Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo, Santiago de Chile, etc.
Weston, Doral Two corners of the same end, and of the same nationality
Saying Westonzuela or Doralzuela to the cities, is already normal, this on the part of Venezuelans, as well as on the part of Colombians who call Weston the largest neighborhood in Bogotá. They find both compatriots, a familiarity and pleasure for living in these cities, some Pros and Cons in relation to this, but in the end, they are two very good cities that are highly competitive and offer a high standard in quality of life, that is not debatable at all.
The important thing as Parents, is to look for a well-rated Type A school, or in some portals they evaluate them 10/10 and from 7 onwards they are generally good schools. The other important thing is the after school activities in which they can participate. Summer camps, Soccer tournaments, multi-activity gyms that have all cities with very good prices. Educational and cultural activities around the good public library system. Sport and Culture are the best friends of formal education.
