SUBURBAN SAVINGS
Median rent for a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment in a surban is approximately $1,800. Expect to pay about $2,000 to $2,500 for a comparable unit in one of Brickell or South Beach’s new developments.
For those hoping to settle
down in something larger than the signature surban condo, Downtown Doral (8500 NW 72nd St), developed by Codina-Carr, offers town houses as well as single-family homes. Residents can easily walk or bike to an office park and a growing collection of trendy eateries and bars such as Bulla Gastrobar (5335 NW 87th Ave, #C102) and Dragonfly Izakaya & Fish Market (5241 NW 87th Ave). The need to drive into the city for a well-made cocktail could soon become a thing of the past.

HURRICANE PREP Prepare for a storm with help from FPL.
HOW YOU PREP for hurricane season (which begins June 1) has a lot to do with how long you’ve lived in Miami: Locals stock up on wine while newly minted Miamians head straight for the nonperishables. Turns out, neither is the right approach. “Customers need to start with a plan,” says Bill Orlove, spokesperson for Florida Power & Light Company, which overseas 1.1 million customers in Miami-Dade County. Need help strategizing for storms? Orlove offers a few suggestions.
Vegetation is one of the leading causes of power outages after a storm. Trim any
trees and collect palm fronds and other debris as soon as a storm warning is issued.

Power runs in a grid. If your neighbor’s
power is restored but yours isn’t, you’re likely on different grids. In the event this happens, inquire with FPL.
For faster service, ensure your home has
a smart meter, which significantly reduces
outage time since workers can ping these devices and turn power on remotely. If you don’t have one currently, FPL will install it.
Batteries are a must, but so is making sure medical items like
prescriptions drugs are refilled in the event of a power outage. ■ Virginia Gil
