A little about Weston...

Weston is a nice community with medium price to high end homes. It is a very well thought out and planned community. Dan Marino (former Miami Dolphins quarterback) lives there. Well, actually, he is selling his little abode, "Casa Marino", for about $16 million, if you're interested. I understand the schools around there are pretty good. Schools in Miami-Dade get a bad wrap. Elementary schools in good neighborhoods are quite good. I live in Kendall (SW Miami) and there are lots "A+" rated schools. Schools begin to slip in quality with secondary education, but there are plenty of excellent private schools to choose from. However, Broward county suffers the same problems. Schools in good communities are good. In lower income neighborhoods they are not so good. Driving from Weston to Miami? Well, depending on where in Miami you plan to drive to, expect a 1-2 hours to get where you want to go during peak drive times. If you are headed to the NW section of Miami, then it's about a 1 hour drive or so. If you are heading anywhere near downtown Miami...bring a book and some Prozac--it will easily take you 2 hours to get there. I would not recommend it for a long term career commitment. With all of the rude, inconsiderate, unsafe drivers in Miami, you will eventually probably snap and wind up experiencing some road rage.
