## Verdict
Doral is the best ‘climate-smart’ option on the budget — newer construction means lower insurance, stronger roof, and a binder that goes through standard market. The Spanish piece is community-driven, not curricular. Sofia’s commute is the deciding variable: tour at 7:30am before deciding.

Pros: Almost all stock is post-2002 — Florida Building Code, HVHZ wind zone, impact glass and tied-down roofs are the baseline, not the upgrade; Cuban + Venezuelan + Colombian community — Spanish is the dominant ambient language; Budget fits comfortably — most 3/2 inventory is $700-900k.
Cons: 836 commute to Brickell is the real risk — 30-45 min at peak; No formal dual-immersion program at zoned public schools (heritage Spanish only); High-ceiling HS path requires magnet application (Gables IB / MAST) — not in-zone.
