🌞 Miami: The Corporate Expat Destination

Miami is renowned for its year-round sunshine, international business ecosystem, and zero state income tax, making it one of the top destinations for corporate relocation in the US.

Behind the allure of palm trees and beaches lies a complex cityscape, navigating a move here requires expert support, especially for international employees and their families.

📍 Key Neighborhoods for Corporate Assignees

• Brickell: Miami’s “Manhattan,” this urban, walkable district is packed with restaurants, fitness studios, and global HQs, ideal for young professionals and couples on assignment.
• Coconut Grove: Leafy, relaxed, and family-friendly, it offers top-tier international schools and a tranquil, village-like atmosphere.
• Coral Gables: Prestigious, elegant, and close to the University of Miami – perfect for families seeking an upscale lifestyle and quick access to business centers.
• Miami Beach: Vibrant, multicultural, and lifestyle-oriented – appealing for those who want a mix of work and leisure, though rentals here tend to be priciest and more seasonal.

🏠 Housing & Cost of Living

• The average rent for a 2-bedroom apartment is around $4300/month, highest in Brickell and Miami Beach.
• Most corporate leases are unfurnished.
• Demand for housing peaks November–April, securing the right home or temporary accommodation quickly is crucial and requires advance planning.
