Coconut Grove WH Center is coastal colors and upscale shopping
In the mid-19th century, the United States Congress enacted the Homestead Act, which gave people the opportunity to own 160 acres of land in exchange for their willingness to spend 5 years living there, build a house and cultivate the land. Historians today debate the merits of the Act and argue over whether it achieved its intended purposes, but one outcome of the Homestead Act that is clearly evident is the fact that South Florida attracted a huge number of migrants, many of whom came north from Key West. An area that attracted a great deal of interest from these settlers was on the east coast about 150 miles north of their Key West starting point. In 1873, that area was named Coconut Grove in honor of a smattering of palm trees growing there, and it is the oldest permanent settlement in all of Miami-Dade County.
Today, Coconut Grove has grown into a vibrant and cosmopolitan area, but it still retains a casual, bohemian atmosphere. In fact, the city was recently voted one the country’s top-51 “Coolest Places to Live” by Time Out Magazine. The neighborhood of Coconut Grove WH Center reflects that ethos, combining the upscale hip and cool with the quiet and casual. Many of the homes in the neighborhood feature funky coastal colors along quiet streets that lead to an upscale shopping center with fashionable stores and superb dining. And with easy access to major thoroughfares, city bus stops and the Metrorail, the neighborhood also affords residents the ability to quickly get to a wide range of other amenities. “It’s a vibrant little enclave that has seen a lot of growth recently. It’s bustling,” says Realtor Troy London, himself a resident of the area for more than 20 years.
