Find a neighborhood that feels like you.
Where a grocery run is realistic on foot — or at least with fewer car trips. Official Miami neighborhoods, counted inside 800 meters.
We count groceries, cafes, parks, and transit stops inside 800 meters of each official neighborhood. It is an errand map, not a Walk Score license, and not a vibe contest. Rankings stay inside Miami.

Same list, said in questions. The numbers are in the table.
Who can do more of a week on foot. We count mapped groceries, cafes, parks, and transit inside 800 meters — an errand map, not a Walk Score license.
Brickell wins the errand count — walk 100 vs 62 in Midtown. Groceries within 800 meters: 8 vs 5.
The family list pays for nearby schools and a quieter map. This one pays for the grocery and the transit stop. A lawn with a long drive can win families and lose here.
Shorecrest is official and still off this top 10. Walk 7 — groceries 2, transit 0 inside 800 meters. A bigger yard can lose to a shorter shop.
No. Hyde Park in Austin is not Hyde Park in Chicago. A 72 here is a rank inside this city’s official neighborhoods, not a grade you can carry across a state line.
ACS median gross rent among these 10 areas runs $1,514 to $3,196. Five-year survey, studios through large apartments mixed together — not a listing you can message tonight.
