Hello,
I can recommend a couple of areas, but it will depend on your budget. I was born and have lived here all of my live so I'm very familiar with South Florida. If you give me details I can suggest some places. Also, my mom is a realtor so if your looking for one, there you go.

ps. I'm in Miami Lakes too - I agree with the other post, it's a great area!!! However, I grew up down south and Pinecrest and South Miami are awesome too.
