A local family has found relief from high housing prices in a small town. Carolina Pereira, an elementary school teacher, was raised in Miami by her mother and grandmother after her parents migrated from Cuba. She considered herself a city girl but found it impossible to save for a home in South Florida after getting married and pregnant.

The family ultimately decided to move to a small town with a more affordable housing market. Further details about their decision and new life are available from Community Newspapers. The Pereira family's story is one example of the challenges of affordable housing in the Miami area, with some residents seeking alternatives in smaller towns.
