What locals are saying
Richmond West, Florida is the most populous county in Florida, and for good reason.
Situated southeast of Florida, Richmond West is part of the Miami-Dade County. This 4.17 square mile-city is home of approximately 32,000 people. With easy access to famous beaches, tropical weather, and other conveniences of urban life, this small haven could very well be a good alternative to anyone who wants to live the Miami lifestyle minus the fanfare.
Renting in Richmond West
How Much will it Cost?
Unlike downtown Miami, condos, studio-type flats, and high rise apartment complexes are not much of a housing option here. Instead, expect to see those swanky 3 or 4 bedroom homes in abundance in this area. You know the type: big lawns and patio, 2 or 3 car garage, and pool area. If that sounds just like the home you’re looking for, home hunting is next in order.
While affordable rental homes can be had in this city, be warned: the term “affordable” and “cheap” takes on a different meaning in this area. But then again, you’re getting luxury for your moolah so you’ll find no need to whine about it.
How About Commute?
Cars are not a luxury in this part of Florida – they are a necessity. Homes having large garages say a lot about the most common mode of commute.
What are the Rental Requirements?
Once you’ve decided to get your rental application rolling, prepare requirements like credit/background check, rental history and references, as well as proof of income.
