[nota]

east of the turnpike in homestead is a all new area
with new apt buildings [keys gate] near the race track too
the rest of the city is a near slum as far as apt buildings
so thats about the only desent area in south dade near by
farther north kendal is a good area
as are the coral gables and south miami citys near U of M
the other place is key largo the first of the keys and just south of homestead but a long drive but open road and fairly quick with not alot of trafic

room mates may be a good idea to get a house
in those areas
