Coconut Grove Homes for Sale: the bayfront village, block by block
The Grove is the rare Miami neighbourhood where a wood cottage, a 1920s Mediterranean house and a glass new build share a street. Which section you buy in decides your flood zone, your lot size and your tree canopy — and in the Grove, the trees are regulated too.

What is for sale in Coconut Grove right now?
We send the full Coconut Grove list — every active listing, with the flood zone and association notes — the same day you ask.
That means the whole active list for Coconut Grove — not the filtered slice a national portal decides to show you, and not the three homes an advertising budget pushed to the top of the page. Every address comes back with the things that actually decide whether a property is worth your Saturday: the FEMA flood zone it sits in, the association's real picture, and the county permit history behind the walls.
- The complete active list Every property on the market in Coconut Grove, in one place, in one email.
- Flood zone, address by address The FEMA zone each property sits in — before you fall for the kitchen.
- The association picture Dues, reserves, special assessments on the books, and 40-year recertification status.
- County permit history What was permitted, what was closed out, and what was never pulled at all.
There is no live MLS search on this site — no search box, no map full of pins, and nothing that quietly serves you last month's prices and homes that went under contract weeks ago. A ClearPath agent pulls the list by hand instead. You name the area, a person goes and gets what is genuinely on the market, reads it before it leaves, and sends it to you. Then that same person answers whatever you want to ask about any address on it, which is the part a search box was never able to do anyway.
No portal account. No login. Your details are not sold on to anyone — the list comes from the brokerage that would represent you, and you can ask about any address on it.

What is for sale in Coconut Grove right now?
North Grove runs toward Bird Avenue with smaller lots and a mix of cottages and renovations. Center Grove holds the village core, the walkable blocks near Main Highway and Grand Avenue. South Grove is the estate market: larger lots, deeper canopy, and the highest prices in the neighbourhood. The bayfront strip along South Bayshore has its own rules entirely — seawalls, docks and coastal flood zones.
Detached houses on irregular lots fill the North, Center and South Grove, from early wood cottages and 1920s Mediterranean houses to new builds limited to 25 feet by the NCD-3. Condominiums sit on the bayfront along South Bayshore Drive, on Grove Isle and at Two Park Grove.
“SFHA are defined as the area that will be inundated by the flood event having a 1-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year.”
What to check on every Coconut Grove property
Read the NCD-3 rules on height, green space and demolition before you plan any work.Pull the City of Miami permit history and check for open violations on additions.Bayfront lots need an elevation certificate and a flood quote before you set your number.
| Check | Why it matters here | Where to get it |
|---|---|---|
| Flood zone for the exact address | Zones change block by block here; the letter decides whether a federally backed loan requires insurance | Our flood zone lookup, then a written insurance quote |
| Roof age and permit date | Florida insurers price on the roof; §627.7011 lets them require an inspection past 15 years | The county permit portal and the seller’s wind mitigation form |
| Open and closed permits | Unpermitted work becomes your problem at resale and can stall a closing | Miami-Dade or the city’s permit search |
| Wind mitigation report (OIR-B1-1802) | It is what earns the windstorm discount, and it scores the weakest opening on the house | The seller, or an authorized inspector during the inspection period |
| Association budget, reserves and estoppel | Decides the real monthly number and any pending special assessment | The association, within 10 business days of a written request |
| Property tax at your purchase price | The seller’s capped assessment does not transfer; your bill resets the year after the sale | Miami-Dade Property Appraiser tax estimator |
General guidance for 2026, not a quote or legal advice. Confirm every line for the specific property during your inspection period.
Flood zones in Coconut Grove: what to check before you offer
The Grove faces Biscayne Bay, so the bayfront along South Bayshore Drive, Dinner Key and Grove Isle carries coastal AE and VE designations, while streets on the higher ground toward US-1 are more often Zone X. Miami-Dade's FEMA maps took effect September 11, 2009, with preliminary 2021 maps still unofficial. Flood insurance is required for a federally backed mortgage in any Special Flood Hazard Area and optional in Zone X. Check the exact address with our flood zone tool.
Associations, dues and the documents to demand
Neighborhood associations are active and registered with the city, among them the Village of Center Grove Homeowners Association, North Grove Homeowners Association and South Grove Neighborhood Association, but most detached houses carry no mandatory dues. Condo associations run Grove Isle, the South Bayshore Drive towers and Two Park Grove.

Questions about buying in Coconut Grove
Is now a good time to buy in Coconut Grove?
The honest answer depends on the product, not the calendar. MIAMI REALTORS reported 4.8 months of single-family supply against 12 months of condo supply for Miami-Dade in July 2026 — a seller's market and a buyer's market in the same county. Read the market page for the county numbers, then price the specific property with its taxes, insurance and dues.
What should I offer on a Coconut Grove property?
A number supported by the last three to six closings of similar properties in the same subdivision or building, adjusted for lot, condition, roof and windows — not by an online estimate. We build that comparison before you write, and structure the inspection and financing periods so you keep your options.
