Coconut Grove Fl real estate is one of the best areas to invest in Miami Dade County, this city is eclectic and intriguing from the beginning stayed true to its nature and to its natural surroundings. First inhabited in 1834, the oldest settlement in South Florida was formally established in 1873, a full two decades before Miami arrived on the scene. By then the village was already home to multicultural collection of new residents: Bahamian blacks, white Key Westers and New England intellectuals lured to the balmy sliver of a village on pristine Biscayne Bay. The community they built attracted artists, writers, and scientists who established homes here.
Just as it was then Coconut Grove is still haven for writers and artists. Confined within a relatively small area, the Miami neighborhood has never quite outgrown its image as a small village, even though it covers three square miles. And the Grove has changed over the decades. In the 1960´s it went through a hippie period, the 1970´s brought out a laidback funkiness, and it withstood and invasion of new-wave teenyboppers in the 1980´s. Things seem to have balanced out and today the tone is upscale, urban, and fun.
During the day it´s business as usual in Coconut Grove, much as in any other Miami neighborhood. But in the evening, especially the weekends it seems as if someone flips a switch and the streets come alive. Locals and tourists jam into small boutiques, sidewalk cafes, and stores lodged in two massive retail-entertainment complexes. For blocks in every direction, students, honeymooning couples, families, and prosperous retirees flow in and out of a mix of galleries, restaurants, bars, bookstores, comedy clubs, and theaters.
In Coconut Grove you will see the diverse architecture the varied origins of the Grove´s pioneers. Posh estates mingle with rustic cottages, modest frame homes, and stark modern dwellings, often on the same block. If you are into horticulture, you will be impressed by the garden of Eden-like foliage that seems to grow everywhere without care. In truth residents are determined to keep up The Grove´s village in a jungle look, so they lavish attention on exotic plantings even as they battle to protect any remaining native vegetation. These and other efforts demonstrate just how thoroughly Coconut Grove has remained true to its roots.
