Why Live IN Coconut Grove?

Located just south of Miami’s urban core, Coconut Grove is Miami’s oldest and most storied waterfront neighborhood. Known for its lush tree canopy, bayfront parks, and village-style charm, Coconut Grove offers a rare blend of privacy, culture, and coastal sophistication.

Unlike the vertical density of Brickell, Coconut Grove is defined by estate homes, boutique condominiums, and a pedestrian-friendly village center. It attracts executives, entrepreneurs, families, and international buyers seeking lifestyle depth over skyline height.

Coconut Grove Real Estate

Coconut Grove real estate is characterized by:

  • Private gated estates and modern architectural homes
  • Waterfront properties along Biscayne Bay
  • Boutique luxury condominiums
  • New contemporary construction replacing older homes
  • Deep lots with tropical landscaping and privacy hedges

Ultra-luxury waterfront estates near Biscayne Bay command premium pricing, while new construction modern homes regularly exceed $1,500–$2,000+ per square foot depending on location and design.

The Grove offers one of Miami’s most resilient single-family markets due to limited land supply and strong family demand.

Top Schools in Coconut Grove

School access is one of Coconut Grove’s strongest drivers of real estate demand.

Private Schools

  • Ransom Everglades School – One of the top college-preparatory schools in the country, with a historic waterfront campus.
  • Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart – Prestigious all-girls Catholic college-prep school.
  • St. Stephen's Episcopal Day School – Highly regarded independent Episcopal school.

Public Schools

  • Coconut Grove Elementary School – Strong academic reputation with International Studies magnet programs.
  • Proximity to top-rated Miami-Dade magnet and charter options.

For families relocating to Miami, Coconut Grove often ranks at the top due to school quality and neighborhood safety.

Walkability & Lifestyle

Coconut Grove offers a true village atmosphere centered around:

  • Coco Walk
  • Waterfront parks such as Peacock Park
  • Marinas including Dinner Key Marina
  • Sidewalk cafés, wine bars, and boutique shopping

The Grove is pedestrian-friendly, bikeable, and deeply community-oriented, a rarity in South Florida.

Dining & Social Scene

The Grove’s dining culture is refined yet relaxed. Residents enjoy:

  • Bayfront brunches
  • Farm-to-table restaurants
  • Upscale wine bars
  • Private yacht club environments

The social atmosphere is established and residential rather than nightlife-driven — attracting business leaders, families, and long-term residents.
