Miami-Dade

Coconut Grove

Bayfront, laid-back, established

History

Miami's oldest continuously inhabited neighborhood, Coconut Grove was settled in the 1800s by New England sailors and Bahamian immigrants, whose descendants still anchor the historic West Grove community. It grew into a bohemian, artsy enclave by the mid-1900s and remains one of Miami's leafiest, most laid-back areas.

Fun facts

  • Coconut Grove is Miami's oldest continuously inhabited neighborhood, settled in the 1820s — decades before the city of Miami itself was incorporated.
  • It was once a bohemian artists' enclave and is still home to Miami's oldest house museum, the 1891 Barnacle Historic State Park.
  • The Grove's tree canopy is so dense in parts that some streets feel more like rural Florida than a major city.

Good to know for families

Coconut Grove is one of Miami's most established family neighborhoods — it's zoned for well-regarded public and private schools, has some of the city's best parkland (Kennedy Park, Peacock Park, the Vizcaya grounds nearby), and its sailing clubs and youth programs are a draw for active families.

Moving from outside Miami-Dade?

If you're used to flat grid streets, note the Grove's older, curving, tree-lined layout can make navigation and parking trickier — and its bayfront and low-lying pockets carry real flood risk, so check elevation and flood zone before buying.
