The Best Located Condo in Coconut Grove

Two Park Grove takes the crown for the best-located condo in Coconut Grove for a couple of reasons. For one, it is Bayfront - the closest to the water, Regatta Park, Grove Key Marina, and Coconut Grove Sailing Club (essentially facing the hub of all sailing action and activities in the neighborhood). Second, it features some great parks in the vicinity, including Peacock Park and The Barnacle Historic State Park. Third, it is a short walk from Fresh Market. And last, but not least, it lies in close proximity to seven private schools, which is a rarity for a lot of waterfront condo residences.
