Living on the Edge of a Dream! User Rating 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 10, 2018) I always wanted to move to Miami, and living in University Park, FL is about as close as I could get.

The best areas in University Park for me include the countless museums, I live blocks from the Frost Art Museum. It doesn't matter if I am in the mood for Italian food or Mexican, this region has the best restaurants in the country. I can even hop on my motorcycle and take the drive south to Key West in an afternoon.

Shopping is a real experience in this region of the Sunshine State. There are high-end boutiques in South Beach or discount outlet malls the further north you drive along Interstate 95. Read Less
