Coconut Grove Neighborhood Guide
Coconut Grove is one of Miami's oldest settled areas, predating the city itself. It occupies a stretch of Biscayne Bay shoreline south of Downtown Miami and Brickell, characterized by its dense tree canopy, waterfront parks, marinas, and a residential fabric that ranges from historic cottages to contemporary estate properties.
Miami's oldest neighborhood, rooted in bayfront and canopy
Coconut Grove sits within the City of Miami, bounded roughly by US-1 to the north, S. Dixie Highway and Coral Gables to the south and west, and Biscayne Bay to the east. The neighborhood's street grid is notably more organic and less uniform than Miami's other districts, reflecting its pre-planned-city origins. Bayshore Drive and South Bayshore Drive run along the waterfront. The neighborhood encompasses distinct sub-areas: the commercial Village core, the more residential west grove, and the waterfront estate sections.
