2011 update - Information when moving to the City of Miami and Miami-Dade County

Miami is a global city in southeastern Florida, Miami-Dade County. The City of Miami, the “Magic City”, is located on the Miami River, between the Florida Everglades and the Atlantic Ocean. Miami is the county seat of Miami-Dade County, Florida's most populous county. Since its incorporation, the City has grown tremendously, transforming it into one of the world’s renowned centers where people can work, live and play while enjoying a high quality of life. With a population of more than 409,719, Miami is the largest city within the Miami metropolitan area, which includes Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, and is the seventh-largest metro area in the United States, with over 5.4 million residents. At only 35.68 square miles (92 km2) of land area, Miami has the smallest land area of any major U.S. city with a metro area of at least 3.0 million people according to 2010 / 2011 census.

Miami is regarded as more of a multicultural mosaic, than it is a melting pot, with residents still maintaining much of, or some of their cultural traits. Miami's culture is influenced by its large population of ethnic Latin Americans and cultures from Caribbeans from islands such as Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, The Bahamas, and Cuba. Spanish or Haitian Creole are their native tongue. Miami has the largest Spanish-speaking population in the Western Hemisphere outside Latin America. Eastern Europe is also represented, with a large population concentrated in Sunny Isles Beach. At the beach and in the Malls we listen a wide variety of languages.

Due to its proximity to Latin America Miami is also known as the Gateway to Latin America (more than 1400 multinational corporations headquarters are located in Miami).

Miami has not only the largest concentration of international banks in the U.S. but it is an international hub for popular entertainment in fashion, music, performing arts, television and movies as well. Miami is the headquarters and main production city of many of the world's largest television networks, broadcasting companies and production facilities, such as Telemundo, TeleFutura, Univision, RCTV International and Sunbeam Television. Miami is considered a “Gamma World City” based on the level of presence of global corporate service organizations, thus attracting a tremendous amount of foreign born people, which makes the City of Miami diverse in culture and ethnicities.

The National Hurricane Center and the United States Southern Command (responsible for military operations in Central and South America) have their headquarters in Miami.

Tourism is also an important industry in Miami. An average of 12 million tourists spend around $17.1 billion annually in its beaches, conventions, festivals and events. The historical Art Deco District in South Beach is considered one of the most glamorous in the world.

The City of Miami is bordered by 2 National Parks: on the east Biscayne National Park and on the west Everglades National Park, the only major US city to have this privilege.

Miami and its suburbs have miles and miles of beaches which attract sun seekers from all over the world. They rest in a plain that extends from the Lake Okeechobee (N) to Florida Bay (S) and from Biscayne Bay (E) to Florida Everglades (W), with an average elevation of 6 ft. (2 m).

Miami's mild climate is due to the Gulf Stream, a warm ocean current which runs northward 15 miles off the coast. South Beach and Miami Beach lies on the largest of several hundred barrier islands that form Biscayne Bay.

The City of Miami is divided in sections:

1- East: Downtown, considered the heart of the city, is South Florida's central business district, where corporation headquarters are located, but where you will find high-rise residential towers as well.
