Southwest Coconut Grove
Snorkeling, boating in Biscayne Bay
The neighborhood sits along the coast of Biscayne Bay, a saltwater lagoon popular among boaters, paddleboarders, and aquatic life enthusiasts. The bay spans 35 miles all the way to the heart of Miami. Also along the coast is The Kampong, a historic botanical garden filled with tropical heritage plants and exhibits highlighting the works of Eleanor Galt Simmons, Miami’s first female doctor and David Fairchild, a renowned botanist. Farther inland sits Merrie Christmas Park, which is mainly an open field wrapped by a paved walking path, but a large playground and shaded picnic area sits off to the side. Elizabeth Virrick Park is another well-used outdoor space. Throughout its 3.5-acre grounds are sports courts, barbeque areas and an on-site recreation center, which features a gym, computer lab, and swimming pool. Teen and youth programming, including seasonal camps, are also held at the rec center.Luxury multi-million dollar homes
Many homes here sit on manicured lots landscaped with dozens of tropical plants and trees. "The Grove also has an artsy feel, with many homes embracing the jungle-like feel of the greenery," says Nancy Batchelor, the Founder and Vice President of the Nancy Batchelor Team at Compass. "The style of the Grove is fun, artsy, and laid back." Several popular home styles are available here, including Mediterranean dwellings with stucco facades and terracotta-tiled roofs, modern builds with sharp lines and intentional simplicity, Key West-style homes with large second-story decks, and modest bungalows with gabled roofs. While there are some modest, renovated homes that start around $600,000, most are large three- to six-bedrooms that range from $1.2 million to $5 million. There are also several villas and estates, many on bayfront property, that can exceed $31 million. Another option are condos and townhouses, which mostly sit on the north end of town. Smaller two- to three-bedroom units can start around $550,000, while larger three- to four-bedrooms can exceed $2 million.Miami-Dade County Public Schools receive high marks

One of CocoWalk's highest-rated restaurants is Narbona Coconut Grove, a family-owned and operated wine bar and breakfast spot known for its decadent desserts and classic brunch dishes. The Key Club is another local favorite, serving American foods with a twist.
