Welcome to Coconut Grove
Family-friendly neighborhood with rich history and chic, laidback atmosphere
Just south of Downtown Miami, Coconut Grove is a privileged waterfront location with a thriving community of families and civic-minded residents who benefit from its great marinas and direct access to the ocean. Part of Coconut Grove’s allure is its status as the greenest area of Miami, with over 11 parks within the neighborhood region. Swaying palm trees line the charming streets, and historic buildings are draped in lush green ivy. When Coconut Grove’s natural beauty is combined with the presence of one of the most stunning bays in the States, it becomes easy to see why people are flocking to this laid-back suburb. Coconut Grove has enjoyed record breaking sales including the
$107M sale of Adrienne Arscht's estate to Ken Griffin.
Coconut Grove is the oldest neighborhood in Miami. Its history dates back to 1873, founded by an eclectic mix of artists, pioneers, strong individuals, and those with an adventurous heart. It grew authentically and maintains a charm found nowhere else. It is a bayfront city within a city that is both upscale and casual. What also adds to appeal of The Grove is its high walkability factor. Since then, Coconut Grove has stayed true to the spirit of its inception, and though it’s blossomed into one of the most desirable communities in Miami, its rich cultural heritage has allowed it to maintain a vibrant, laidback personality.
The residential architecture in Coconut Grove is varied, though the neighborhood itself has an iconic style whose elements echo throughout the streets. Modern and contemporary lines and sleek design elements meld with open floor plans, an emphasis on natural materials, glass walls that let owners relish in the sunlight, and the undeniable vibrancy that inhabits all of South Florida. Residents can also expect to stunning waterfront estates, Mid-Century Modern gems, Mediterranean estates, and upscale condos and townhomes.

Since its inception, Coconut Grove or The Grove as named by the locals, has attracted residents due to its breathtaking surroundings, natural beauty and its privileged waterfront setting. Today, the Grove is internationally known for its peerless real estate, sailing, shopping, entertainment, dining, attractions, proximity to some of the area’s best private schools and its central location.
