Is Coconut Grove More Expensive than Coral Gables?

Coconut Grove and Coral Gables are often thought of together because they share many similarities. They’re both affluent, tree-lined, lush neighborhoods, with bungalows and big spacious estates, featuring a boutique village vibe. However, Coconut Grove is more expensive than Coral Gables in terms of price per square foot and average property listing price.

This may be because, even though they are very close to each other, Coconut Grove is a neighborhood in the city of Miami while Coral Gables is its own city, with different and more strict construction and height regulations. This means that Coconut Grove has more new condo properties and several pre-construction projects under development, which drive up its property value, particularly on a price-per-square-foot basis.
