I lived in Miami for over 20 years and wouldn't send children to public schools there (except perhaps for some elementary schools - which sometimes can affect their ability to get into private schools down the road).
Lived on Key Biscayne for 10 years and worked downtown. Commuting to work was basically a breeze (maybe 20 minutes - nice drive). On the other hand - the beach traffic to/from Crandon Park and Cape Florida - on weekends - particularly during the summer - can be a nightmare. Robyn
