I loved living on Miami Beach — but after 3 years, I knew I had to leave
As nice as it was living on Miami Beach in Florida, a few drawbacks and concerns led me to move inland to Miami when I was ready to buy property.
India Amos spent several years living on Miami Beach in Florida. Although she loved the coastal city, a few concerns led her to move back to mainland Miami after three years. Miami Beach's spring break crowds became intense and the coastal location too risky. She also faced parking issues and the risk of the city sinking.
She enjoyed living in North Beach, one of Miami Beach's quieter neighborhoods. However, she decided to move to mainland Miami in 2021 because she couldn't afford property in Miami Beach due to its sinking land, and the city's spring break crowds were a problem. The increased traffic and difficulty finding parking during the season made living there less enjoyable. Since moving inland, she now enjoys a quieter life and doesn't encounter as many tourists.
While Miami Beach has made some improvements since her departure, such as addressing spring break issues and implementing new parking zones in North Beach, Amos still prefers living on the mainland. She loves her time in Miami Beach but prefers to visit only for special occasions and avoids the area during spring break.
