Miami • Real Estate • Living Well

BY RIYA

You’re not just choosing a home. You’re choosing the life that comes with it.

I’ll help you with both. What to buy, where to live, where to eat and what’s actually worth knowing about Miami.

The Premise

Find the home. Build the life around it.

Nobody chooses a home in isolation.

Where you get coffee.
Where you work out.
What Saturday looks like.
Whether the people you like are nearby.

The home is part of that decision. The life around it is the rest.

Miami

Miami versus the world.

No state income tax, a deep international buyer base, and a dollar that still goes further here than in most prime global markets. The case for Miami is not a feeling.

The full case for Miami

0%

Florida personal state income tax. Florida also levies no inheritance tax, gift tax or tax on intangible personal property.

About

Riya

My family and friends used to joke that I was the mayor of New York, because I loved it so much and genuinely never thought I would leave. Then COVID happened.

I came down to Miami thinking it was temporary, with absolutely no plan of building a life here. But somewhere along the way, temporary stopped feeling temporary.

I was happier. I felt lighter. I loved the way I was living here, and I started realizing how much where you live shapes everything else. The people around you. Where you spend your time. What you do on a random Tuesday.

I had always thought of moving as changing your address. I did not expect it to change my life.
