To be a Coconut Grove condo owner or renter you should first know a little about condo life.

It's also close to the University of Miami. However, convenience is only one of the many benefits of condo living in Coconut Grove. This is one of south Florida's oldest and most diverse neighborhoods. To understand Coconut Grove is to know about its past. "Cocoanut Grove" was it's original name. Horace P. Porter named it after establishing the first Post Office in the area in 1873. Pioneers from the Bahamas began settling along Charles Avenue in the 1880's. The variety of people that have immigrated to Coconut Grove and made it their home is what makes the area so rich in culture and appeal. Ralph Monroe, who built his home here in 1891, was one of those early settlers. The beautiful home overlooks Bisbayne Bay. Monroe affectionately named it The Barnacle, and it is now a State historic site. Coconut Grove condos are scattered among these historical landmarks. One of the more popular and beautiful of these landmarks is The Kampong. The former home of botanist David Fairchild, it hosts a 10 acre garden with rare plants that Dr. Fairchild collected in his world travels. When it comes to local attractions, old meets new at every turn. Coconut Grove offers the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, which is a 70-room Italian Renaissance mansion surrounded by 10 acres of gardens and fountains. Walk across the street to the Miami Museum of Science and Space Transit Planetarium and see what the future holds. More
