Aventura, FL
Aventura developed largely from the 1970s onward as a planned community built around high-rise residential towers, a departure from the single-family-home suburban model common elsewhere in Miami-Dade County, and that vertical development pattern has made it one of the densest municipalities in the entire county despite incorporating as its own independent city only in 1995. Aventura Mall, one of the largest shopping malls in the United States by leasable retail space, anchors the city's commercial identity and draws shoppers from across South Florida and international visitors specifically for its concentration of luxury and flagship retail stores. The city's substantial number of waterfront and golf-course-adjacent condominium towers has drawn a significant population of retirees and part-time residents, particularly from the Northeast and from Latin America, giving Aventura a genuinely international, multilingual community character distinct from many of Miami's more single-family-home-oriented suburbs. Aventura's combination of a high-rise, condominium-dominated development pattern, one of the largest shopping malls in the country, and a genuinely international resident population has made it one of the more distinctively vertical and cosmopolitan suburbs anywhere in the greater Miami metropolitan area.
VS
Coconut Grove, FL
Coconut Grove is widely regarded as the oldest continuously inhabited neighborhood in Miami-Dade County, with roots as a settlement predating the city of Miami itself by more than a decade, and that long history has given "the Grove," as it's known locally, a genuinely bohemian, artistic identity distinct from much of the rest of South Florida's newer suburban development. The neighborhood's tree-canopied streets and historic bungalows, many dating to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, have made it one of the more architecturally varied and lushly landscaped residential areas in the entire Miami metro area, a contrast to the more uniform Mediterranean Revival style found in neighboring Coral Gables. Peacock Park and the adjacent Dinner Key Marina anchor the neighborhood's waterfront, and Coconut Grove's mix of independent bookstores, art galleries, and outdoor cafés has sustained a genuinely artsy commercial character going back to its early-20th-century role as a gathering point for writers, artists, and bohemian expatriates. Coconut Grove's combination of being Miami-Dade's oldest continuously settled neighborhood, a distinctly bohemian and artistic community character, and lush, tree-lined residential streets has made it one of the more historically and culturally distinctive close-in suburbs anywhere in greater Miami.
