Luxury Homes for Sale in Coconut Grove, FL
Coconut Grove is a Miami neighborhood, not a separate city, and that one fact changes how you have to search it. Half the inventory here is filed under Miami.

Coconut Grove is a neighborhood of the City of Miami on Biscayne Bay, and it is one of the oldest settled parts of the city. The ground rises from the shoreline to a limestone ridge, the canopy is heavy and much of it is protected by ordinance, and the platting is old enough that lot shapes and street lines still follow the original surveys rather than a grid.
I search it in two passes, because the MLS files it two ways. Then I read the lot before the house: the tree plan, the designation status, the flood zone at that specific elevation, and on a bayfront parcel what the shoreline is actually permitted for. Those four answers decide what you can do with a Grove property, and they vary more from block to block here than in any city on this list.
What to check before you buy
Whether the listing is filed under Miami or Coconut Grove
The MLS carries Coconut Grove as its own city value, but most Grove listings are entered under Miami. If you only search the Grove field you will miss inventory. I run both and reconcile them by street.
The tree ordinance before you plan a single change
Canopy is regulated here. Removing or relocating a specimen tree needs a permit, and a mitigation requirement can follow a driveway, a pool or an addition. I read the survey against the tree plan before you offer.
Historic designation on the house and on the district
Parts of the Grove carry historic designation at the individual property level and in districts. Designation governs demolition and exterior work, so it decides whether a teardown plan is even possible.
Dock permitting on Biscayne Bay
Bay frontage sits inside an aquatic preserve, and seagrass, setbacks and length limits govern what can be built or rebuilt at the shoreline. The permit, not the photo of the existing dock, tells you what you own.
Elevation on the ridge versus at the shoreline
The Grove sits on a limestone ridge that drops to the bay, so two houses a few streets apart can carry very different flood zones and insurance numbers. I want the elevation certificate inside the inspection period.
Coconut Grove luxury questions
Which parts of Coconut Grove carry the highest asking prices?
Bayfront parcels in the South Grove and the larger canopy lots sit at the top of the Grove market. The live count and the highest asking price on this page come from the feed.
Where do the highest asking prices in the Miami area sit?
On the bayfront and island parcels: the Grove waterfront, Biscayne and San Marco islands, and the bay lots in Morningside. What they share is open water frontage with no fixed bridge between the dock and the bay. Frontage sets the top of the market, not interior square footage.
Why do Grove listings show up under Miami?
Because Coconut Grove is a neighborhood of the City of Miami. The MLS allows Coconut Grove as a city value and some agents use it, but most file under Miami. Any honest search here has to run both fields, which is what the band below does.
Can I keep a boat in the Grove?
Yes, at Dinner Key and at the private docks on the bayfront parcels. The run is straight out into Biscayne Bay with no fixed span in the way, which is unusual for Miami. Private dock capacity is limited and permitted individually, so tell me the length and draft first.
Is new construction common here?
Yes, and it sits directly beside 1920s houses on the same street. That mix is why designation and the tree plan matter so much: two identical looking lots can carry completely different rebuilding rights.
