Why Choose Coconut Grove?



One of Miami’s most established neighborhoods, Coconut Grove has been voted the “2nd Best Place to Raise a Family in Miami” according to niche.com’s 
2020 rankings. It’s also listed as one of 2020’s 5 Best Places to Live in South Florida.

So, what makes Coconut Grove so special? Well, everything from its rich tropical foliage to relaxed Bohemian vibe, historical attractions, museums, parks, collection of top-rated schools, and an outdoor lifestyle make it one of the most unique and gorgeous places to anchor down with the family.

Living in Coconut Grove, you can expect to run into wild peacocks as you enjoy a walk along its scenic oak-shaded streets. The Vizcaya Estate and Gardens plus Kampong Botanical Garden add more color and fragrance to this vibrant neighborhood’s already lush scene. There are also parks aplenty that range from the quietly tucked Ingraham to the dog-friendly David T. Kennedy and multipurpose Peacock Park. Also known as the ‘Sailing Capital of Miami’, not only will you find international regattas such as the U.S. Sail Miami setting off from one of Coconut Grove’s many marinas, but also fellow residents boating for a sunset or weekend spin. Indeed, Coconut Grove’s top marinas and yacht clubs are very popular.

In addition to all of the above, Coconut Grove also features a rare selection of boutiques, outdoor cafés, restaurants, and shops - making it a truly family-friendly neighborhood.

But another trend has emerged, and that is the Miami market has established a new definition of luxury.   This third quarter, the combined neighborhood of Coconut Grove & Coral Gables, continued outperforming all other neighborhoods in our quarterly analysis by reporting the highest percentage sales growth, fastest time to sell/lowest days on market, and lowest levels of inventory.  As we head into the 4th quarter, which is historically known to be the slowest of the year, and with the...
