The only two cities to show rent decreases in the area were Doral with -5% and Dania Beach with -12%.

Miami and Fort Lauderdale

With a median rent of $2,840 and an 8% increase, Miami was among the most expensive in the nation, as the demand for city luxury living with resort-style perks was increasing because of a growing wealthy population, a strong tech scene, and foreign investment, according to the analysis which also considered U.S. Census data.

Zumper also ranked the city of Miami as a good city for digital nomads because of its proximity to Miami International Airport and public transportation and WIFI hotspots.

Fort Lauderdale had among the lowest digital nomad rankings in the country. Also with $2,100 for a one-bedroom apartment, Fort Lauderdale’s median rent increased by 5%.
