Moving to Hialeah, FL?

With a population well over 220,000 Hialeah, FL is one of the largest suburban centers in the United States. It’s also a suburb with an extremely dense population (more than 10,000 per square mile) that’s more reminiscent of inner city neighborhoods. The Seminole Indian word “Hialeah” translates to “Pretty Prairie,” and gets this designation via its prairie-like appearance despite being positioned between the Everglades and Biscayne Bay.  Largely inhabited by an eclectic Hispanic population made up mostly of Cuban ancestry, over 90% of the population speaks Spanish as their first language.
