Aventura is the place....u dont have to live a hour away just to go party...u can but thats a choice u'd have to make...ive lived all over miami, sobe, and b4 i moved to orlando i was living in Aventura...and that had to be the nicest place out of miami, clean, no homeless, there arent that many tourists, traffic is okay, only 15mins to sobe/downtown, everything is also close by, Aventura mall is also very nice. Deff check it out. Ps...im talking about East Aventura now im here in o-town...true suburbs
