Coconut Grove, FL

Coconut Grove is Miami's oldest neighborhood and its most character-full: bayfront calm, giant banyan trees, winding streets, and a creative history that still shapes the pace of life.

What Coconut Grove really is.

Coconut Grove began as a pioneer settlement in the 1800s and became the artists' colony of early Miami, and that history still shows: cottages, estate sides, narrow crooked streets, and a village center that refuses to feel corporate.

The Grove sits on Biscayne Bay, so the water is part of the daily picture, the breeze, the evening walks, the docked boats. Its homes range from historic cottages to bayfront estates to modern villas tucked behind the trees.

For families who want city convenience with a village soul, Coconut Grove is one of the few addresses in Miami-Dade that delivers both.

What to Know

Four reasons the Grove stays special.

Miami's oldest neighborhood

Coconut Grove has been continuously inhabited for well over a century, with a history of artists, sailors, and pioneers baked into its streets.

Banyans and the bay

Giant banyan trees, the bayfront, and narrow crooked streets give the Grove a village character no developer can copy.

A walkable village

Commodore Plaza and the waterfront walk hold cafes, shops, and marinas within strolling distance of the homes.

A creative character

The artistic and bohemian roots still show in the galleries, the festivals, and the unwillingness to be polished flat.

The Everyday

The everyday in the Grove.

  • The commute. Minutes to Brickell and downtown Miami, with Coconut Grove as the leafy pause before the towers.
  • The waterfront. Marinas, dinner by the bay, and the feeling that the water is part of the address.
  • The weekend. Farmers markets, the beaches, and Vizcaya Museum just up the road.
