Living in Downtown Miami!!










Sergio and I started looking for an apartment in downtown Miami. We wanted to live closer to the ocean and the beach and have more options of things to do. Pembroke Pines is a nice area, but is not the most happening place in Broward County. The challenge was finding an apartment in a high rise that was dog friendly and an apartment that accepted our 80lb Lab! That was a mission in itself! We finally found some loft style apartments on Biscayne Bay in downtown Miami. We fell in love with one apartment in particular on the 23rd floor and completed the paperwork right away! We were so excited! However, now I had to find a new job in the Miami area. After almost 6 months of applying, interviewing, and looking I had no luck. We kept our apartment in Pembroke Pines(bc of my current job) and our apartment in Miami throughout that time. Both Sergio and I went back and forth between Miami and Pembroke Pines to visit each other, spending mostly just weekends together. It was tough and it was very sad when we decided to finally throw in the towel and stay in Pembroke Pines due to the economy. I just could not find a job in the Miami area. One day we would love to move back to the Miami! We had fun while it lasted! We really enjoyed going to the beach, walking along the bay, enjoying the nearby restaurants, shops,bars and live bands. Though things did not turn out excactly as planned with our Miami apartment, Sergio and I are both very thankful to have maintained our jobs throughout everything going on in the economy this past year.
