About Coconut Grove

Coconut Grove is the oldest continuously inhabited neighborhood in Miami. Nestled under an expansive canopy of Banyan trees, Coconut Grove boasts an eclectic atmosphere deeply rooted in South Florida history. As Williamsburg of Brooklyn has transformed the New York borough, Coconut Grove parallels that culture in Miami, attracting a worldly and contemporary vibe. Located along the scenic Biscayne Bay and only minutes to downtown, Miami International Airport and the Port of Miami, Coconut Grove is a highly desirable location.

Coconut Grove, locally known as “The Grove” is a bit of paradise just South of Downtown Miami. In less than 6 square miles, the combination of a strong international presence and robust artistic community make this bohemian upscale waterfront community unlike anywhere else in the city.

Old-Floridian style defines the Coconut Grove real estate to create a sophisticated laid-back town perfect for the Brooklyn, Boston or San Francisco transplant and international set. The neighborhood displays a variety of architectural styles including Key West, Contemporary, Spanish-style villas, ultra-modern, Mediterranean and French chateaus that come together under the sub-tropical natural environment.

In addition to picturesque single-family homes, the Coconut Grove condo market has been redefined with numerous luxurious residential buildings including the Grove at Grand Bay “Twisted Sisters”, Park Grove, The Grovenor House, Mr.C Residences, Residences at Vizcaya, The Residences at The Ritz Carlton and Vita at Grove Isle.
