In my opinion The Grove Club is one of the best small condominiums in Coconut Grove.   I am a stickler for well kept landscaping and The Grove Club has an on site maintenance manager who keeps the property (interior and exterior) in great condition.  I am in the building once a week because it i...

Many people would be surprised to know that Coconut Grove actually has 13 gated communities within its boundaries.  Some are large waterfront communities with 30+ homes, some are old estates that have been divided up into several lots and some are gated with public access.   Below is a breakdown...
