If you’re thinking about moving from New York to Miami, I understand exactly what that feels like.
Maybe you’ve outgrown the city. Maybe the city has outgrown you.
Either way, I’ve been there — and that leap changed my life in ways I never expected.
From a Tiny Loft to a Big Decision
In 2020, my husband and I were living in a small loft in New York City during COVID.
We were both working from home with no space, surrounded by the constant noise and energy that once felt inspiring but now felt heavy.
Life felt paused — yet somehow still overwhelming.
Like so many New Yorkers, we kept waiting for things to “go back to normal.” But eventually we realized what we really needed was a change.
Space. Light. Air. Possibility.
So we made a bold decision: we signed a six-month lease on an apartment in Miami without ever seeing it in person.
It felt crazy… but necessary. That first morning we stepped onto the beach, everything shifted.
And six months turned into five years.
Learning Miami in Real Time
When I arrived, I didn’t know Miami yet — not the neighborhoods, not the local gems, not the rhythm of daily life.
I learned it piece by piece, discovering what made each pocket of the city unique.
Over time, I found the real Miami:
-
Welcoming neighborhoods with personality and history
-
Local coffee shops where everyone knows your name
-
A community that made this city feel like home
And along the way, I realized something powerful:
Sometimes you aren’t moving away from something — you’re moving toward who you’re meant to become.
