The Cuban YouTuber Alex Layon, residing in Miami, published a video titled "The Reality of Rent in Miami," in which he questions whether he should leave the city to achieve the prosperity he longs for in the United States.
After three months in the United States, the YouTuber knows he must become independent soon. He researched rental prices in Miami-Dade County and shared how much money he needs to cover the rent of an apartment while working a part-time job and looking for new job opportunities.
In his video, Layon exposes the harsh reality of rental prices in various areas of Miami, including Coral Gables, Doral, Miami Beach, Homestead, Brickell, Hialeah, and South Miami.
- Coral Gables: The most affordable rent for a small apartment can be between 2,000 and 2,600 dollars per month. In this area, an efficiency can range from 1,600 to 2,000 dollars.
- Doral and Miami Beach: They are expensive and exclusive areas in Miami-Dade, the rent for a small apartment can range from 1,800 to 2,500 dollars.
- Brickell: Rents range from 2,500 to 3,500 dollars and up. It is a neighborhood with a very high standard of living, where businesses and various services are concentrated.
- South Miami: The rent for an apartment can range from $2,000 to $2,300. It is also difficult to access an apartment at those prices for a newcomer with low income. An efficiency can range from $1,600 to $1,800.
- Homestead: This is an up-and-coming area that attracts all kinds of tenants. The rent for an apartment can range from 1,200 to 1,400 dollars. Efficiencies can be found between 900 and 1,100 dollars.
- Hialeah: It is the quintessential city of the Latino community. They have received so many immigrants recently that prices are skyrocketing. Apartment rents can range from 1,500 to 1,800 dollars.
Alex Layon points out that the cost of living in Miami is increasingly high, while available jobs are poorly paid, and the population density continues to rise, further complicating the situation.
The video has become essential for those considering moving to Miami, providing a clear insight into the economic challenges faced by the city's residents.
