Nowhere within 5 hours of Buffalo is a city ANYTHING like Miami.

You are correct sir! Cleveland is just over five hours away! /s

LOL

Closest thing is maybe Atlantic City?

Toronto is way bigger than miami

I just want a beach town with a skyline or best skyline near that area

Chicago would be an ~8 hour drive, but not sure what else to suggest, not a ton of options that meet the 5 hour part. Even Detroit is a 6 hour drive (4 if you cut through Canada I guess)

I live In Jamestown ny so It’s a 5 hour drive

I don’t believe any city within a 5 hour drive of Buffalo will give you what you want. You would need to go to the Atlantic Coast, Gulf Coast, West Coast, or Chicago.

Toronto Is probably the most similar Niagara Falls Is also pretty beutifal Imma probably live at one of those

If you can get Canadian residency then do it. More power to you.

what the fuck

Skyline by the water near Buffalo? Detroit and Cleveland are options

Detroits kinda dangerous but I might think about It. Niagara Falls like the best option but I want something like that but with more skyline.

Detroit is not that dangerous. There's 100,000 beer-enthusiast hipsters living there now.

I judge a city’s safety by how many craft breweries and dog-owning hipsters there are

Unironically yeah, that's not a bad metric.

Dude, the NY side of Niagara Falls is more dangerous than Detroit

I would move to Ontario side, but Is it that dangerous because of buffalo?

Nahh Buffalo is safer by a mile. I love Buffalo. Niagara Falls, NY is a poor area with no industry.

Hey Miami is less than 5 hours away on a plane

I wanna be near my parents though

I wanna drive back every once In a while not too far away to take care of them when their older

Stick them in a home in Boynton and call it a day. Then you can live in Miami and be a 5 hour drive away in traffic.

I think you should be more clear in what exactly you want out of a city. It’s hard comparing any city to Miami, never mind one being near Buffalo, and I don’t know what similarity Niagara Falls has that you like. Are we looking for cities near the water with tall buildings?

Just a nice beach like city with skyline or by water with skyline

Insane post

There’s nothing like Miami with 5 hours of Buffalo

Toronto is

You may have heard of this little town on the coast with something of a skyline called New York City? Toronto too, if you want closer.

Cleveland, honestly. It has a small but nice skyline and plenty of good beaches—not Florida quality, but excellent Great Lakes beaches. Inexpensive and close to your parents. Big city vibe (compared to Jamestown) but not overwhelming. My husband and I made the move from Corning area to here five years ago. Feel free to ask me anything.

Miami...or Niagara Falls 😂😂😂

Miami or Niagara Falls? That is quite the spectrum.

Montreal? Toronto? Windsor? Detroit? They all have more in common with Niagara Falls than Miami and have decent skylines

I’m probably gonna just go to buffalo and drive to Niagara falls every once In a while but good cities

Gary, Indiana

Cool story.

NYC

Erie, PA?

It doesn’t have big skyline but I does have a nice beach and I have been there many times. I’m moving there, buffalo, or Niagara falls

Cartagena Colombia, if you want to leave USA

I want it 5 hours within buffalo but cool city

Atlantic City NJ, not sure how far the drive would rly be

7 hours from where I am because I am not at buffalo exactly

New York City

Baltimore Pittsburg and Philadelphia also come to mind for skylines

Rio, Sydney and Tel Aviv are like Miami with tall buildings and the beach. Mexico City, NYC, Chicago are like Miami but with higher buildings and a good skyline.

Toronto is the only place that meets your criteria.

Toronto

I’m thinking about that honestly that’s like my top 5

do it if you can it's better than every great lakes city except for maybe Chicago, and an argument can be made either way

houston

Houston far af at that point I’ll just go to Miami
