There are rough areas in Homestead/Florida City/ without a doubt Miami, but if you stick to the main drag (US 1) and national chain hotels, you should be fine. I second Florida City, it's a much shorter drive than Miami would be and VERY convenient to the Upper Keys. I myself stay in an older shabby motel off Krome Ave. in F.C., it's cheap and my rooms have been clean, after all I'm not there for the resort experience. It's on the outskirts of a rundown area but I've never had any problems.
IMO, it's no worse than the Orlando area I live in now, get off the main drags and away from the tourist areas there is some real blight but as long as you stick to the US 1 corridor, it's fine as anywhere. Seems all areas of any size have bad dangerous areas anymore.
