Coconut Grove Real Estate

About Coconut Grove

Coconut Grove is Miami's oldest neighborhood, with Bahamian roots dating to the 1870s — the settlers who built it are part of what's now sometimes called the city's Little Bahamas, with historic Black churches still standing among the neighborhood's oldest streets. Its residential lots sit under a canopy of banyan trees, palms, and live oaks unlike anywhere else in Miami-Dade; wild peacocks are still known to roam the neighborhood.

The bay is central to the Grove's identity. Dinner Key Marina, one of Florida's largest, anchors a genuine sailing culture — the Coconut Grove Sailing Club teaches sailing, and Shake-A-Leg Miami runs adaptive watersports programs for people with disabilities. Peacock Park runs more than nine acres along the bay and is a natural spot to watch the regattas that pass offshore.

Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, a Renaissance-inspired estate set on tropical hardwood hammock, and The Barnacle Historic State Park, a preserved 19th-century waterfront homestead, both sit inside the neighborhood. Between the tree canopy, the marina, and a genuinely bohemian commercial strip, the Grove reads less like a Miami neighborhood than a village that happens to be inside the city.
