The areas that have the reputation for being the most dangerous in Miami are:
Model or Liberty City
Overtown
Opa Locka
Carol City
Miami Gardens
Little Haiti
Wynwood
West Flagler
Allapattah
But there's also bad parts of South Dade like Perrine and Naranja; Parts of Hialeah; a section of South Miami; parts of Florida City and Homestead; and Downtown Miami.

| As kho says, there are a million condos in the area, particularly at the south end. I had a friend who lived in a high rise just near the VFW on south beach. Many of the condos are owned by foreign money, and are available for rental. I'm relatively sure she could find a furnished place in South Beach for a few months, particularly during COVID.

| Live in Miami, born and raised.
She will be fine on the beach, there’s thousands of furnished rentals available. There is zero point in her living anywhere but Miami Beach, if she will only be here for a limited time, unless she likes being stuck in traffic (the Grove would be a nightmare to commute). |

| I live in Pompano Beach and born in raised in Fort Lauderdale less than an hour North. The problem is going to be the price. If you stay on Miami Beach (the barrier island), the whole area from South Beach North to North Miami Beach is pretty safe. Midtown is popular and Brickell and safe, but just West of those two by like a several block walk are ghetto and unsafe. Coral gables down by UM is pretty safe but getting to be far enough to be a pain in the ass drive that's simply not worth it.
Her best bet would be to rent a tiny efficiency or studio on Miami Beach Month to Month, to make sure the job sticks, she likes the area, and she gets to know the lay of the land and maybe then can figure out where she wants to live or a good room mate situation. My aunt has a very nice house on one of the islands on the Venetian Causeway right off of South Beach, it has a totally seperate apartment so I have a call into her, but think it's rented. |
