About Coconut Grove.
Miami's oldest continuously inhabited neighborhood — a sailing-club village shaded by old-growth canopy. A walkable core opens onto bayfront residences from cottage to estate scale, with the Vizcaya gardens and Dinner Key Marina as quiet anchors.
A village in the sense the word used to mean. Bahamian boatbuilders and spongers settled the bay edge in the 1880s; writers, gallerists, and yachting families followed across the next century. The canopy is the constant — live oaks, gumbo limbo, royal poinciana — and the streets still curve to clear them. Houses sit further back from the road here than anywhere else in the county.
Three Groves in one neighborhood: Center Grove walkable and café-driven, South Grove holding the deep-lot estates and Vizcaya, North Grove edging the bayfront and the Coconut Grove Sailing Club. Saturday brings the Grove Arts Festival to Peacock Park; weekday evenings, the sail-down on Biscayne Bay. Inventory ranges wide — restored 1920s cottages, midcentury bay houses, contemporary new-builds tucked behind hedges.
