Coconut Grove: a neighborhood guide

Coconut Grove is often the first neighborhood we suggest to buyers who want greenery, a slower pace and quick access to the city.

The feel

The Grove is shaded, walkable in parts and oriented toward the bay. The village centre has cafés, shops and weekend markets; the bayfront has parks, marinas and sailing clubs.

Housing

Expect a wide mix: historic cottages, mid-century homes on large lots, contemporary new construction and a few waterfront estates. Lot elevation and mature trees vary street by street.

Things to check

  • Flood zone and elevation for each specific address
  • Tree protection rules before planning renovations
  • School zones and commute times at your actual travel hours
