Drone shot of adventura
 

The City of Aventura, Florida may not be as well-known as Miami-Dade’s more prominent urban centers but it possesses a unique character that draws in those wanting to work, live, and play in the South Florida region.

Get to know the city’s many astounding facets that will drive you to start shopping for Aventura, Florida homes for sale.

 

AVENTURA, FL: AN OVERVIEW

aerial night photo aventura
 

Found in the northeastern section of Miami-Dade County, the city of Aventura conveniently lies smack in the middle of Fort Lauderdale and Miami. This puts it in close proximity to two major Florida airports (Miami International Airport and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport) and seaports (Fascell Port of Miami and Port Everglades). As a planned suburban city, Aventura boasts a relatively subdued residential atmosphere that’s perfect for families, professionals, and everyone else who’s interested in living the good life.

History

It wasn’t long ago that Aventura was nothing more than acres of marshland. This may still have been the case today if not for the vision of Don Soffer, famed American businessman and investor, who saw the area’s potential and transformed it into the thriving city that it is today.

Aventura was initially named Turnberry after Soffer’s real estate development company, Turnberry Associates. Development of the area began in the early 1970s and it was incorporated into a city in 1995. The city was renamed Aventura – the Spanish word for “adventure” – after Soffer’s statement, “What an adventure this is going to be,” became its unofficial motto.

One of the more memorable moments that happened here: After leaving the White House in 2001, former US President Bill Clinton visited Aventura and gave one of his earliest post-presidency speeches at the Aventura-Turnberry Jewish Center.

Getting around

By car, Aventura residents could reach Fort Lauderdale in around 20 minutes, and Miami in approximately 23 minutes. Those who prefer to commute can ride the Aventura Express Shuttle Bus, which has three routes that connect passengers to any Miami-Dade or Broward County transit route. Aventura Express can also ferry passengers to major points of interest in Aventura, such as Aventura Mall and the northeast branch of Miami-Dade Library.

The city also has its own bike share program, the Aventura BCycle Bike Share, which allows members to book and ride bicycles on demand via docking stations spread across the city.

Those who truly want to save on transportation costs will be glad to get on Freebee, a free ride service available through the Freebee app.

Geography and demographics

Aventura lies just east of I-95, with the Miami-Dade Broward County line serving as its northern boundary, the Florida East Coast Railway (FEC) as its western boundary, the Intracoastal Waterway as its eastern boundary, and NE 176th Street as its southern boundary. US 1 runs along the city’s western edge. The city has a total land area of 3.5 square miles, of which 23.08% is water.

As of the 2020 US census, there were over 40,000 people living in the city. The median age of residents is 50.2. The tranquil atmosphere that Aventura, Florida homes for sale are known for attracts a large population of retirees.

Cost of living

Given its nature as one of the more sought-after areas in the county and the rest of the state, Aventura, FL has a high cost of living. The overall cost of living is 115,9, which is 12.8 points higher than the state average. However, it rewards its residents with an excellent quality of life with an abundance of venues for recreation, both on and off the land. Its remarkable waterways also form part of the Intracoastal Waterway system, which makes them additional transportation routes for those with private boats and yachts.

The next sections will discuss in detail why the quality of life in Aventura, FL is a major reason behind its attraction among tourists and the overwhelming demand for homes for sale here.

 

WHAT AVENTURA, FL IS KNOWN FOR

Aventra Slide Tower

JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa

This world-class Mediterranean-style hotel is situated at the heart of Aventura. It features a century-old Banyan tree, lush green landscapes, and two championship golf courses redesigned by Raymond Floyd, one of golf’s great champions. The resort is known for its many upscale offerings, including well-appointed luxury suites, a full-service spa and wellness center, a Michelin-starred chef’s restaurant, and a massive waterpark.

Tidal Cove Waterpark

A key highlight of JW Marriott Miami Turnberry, this recreation facility features water slides, river rides, tranquility pools, and a host of other water attractions. The Aqua Drop is a freefall, almost-vertical slide that delivers a maximum adrenaline rush. Boomerango, Tidal Cove’s original waterslide, lets a group ride a raft through a course with sudden drops. The Constrictor, as the name suggests, is a long, snake-like tube where riders can plummet through and splash into the pool below. Tidal Cove also boasts the nation’s first-ever FlowRider Triple machine where bodyboarders can work on their technique.

South City Beach Park

Conveniently located in nearby Hallandale Beach, South City Beach Park is just a short 15 to 20-minute ride north of Aventura. This coastal park has bocce courts, volleyball courts, a toddler’s playground, and multiple family picnic areas. Full-service concessions are available at Cafe Cita at the Beach. The site also has a covered pavilion where events and activities are held.

Haulover Beach

Those who want to enjoy a truly carefree time on the sand should make it a point to visit Florida’s oldest and officially sanctioned public nudist beach which attracts more than a million visitors every year. The beach also has spaces for regular sunbathers who want to keep their clothes on. Make sure you bring your own food and beverages as the concessionaires are few and far between.

The Ancient Spanish Monastery

One of the county’s truly unique hidden jewels is an old monastery found around 4 miles south of Aventura. First built in Spain some 900 years ago, it was bought in the 1930s by American newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst. Not long after, he had the entire monastery – all 35,000 pieces of it – dismantled, transported, and rebuilt on the space along West Dixie Highway where it still stands today.  The cloisters are now part of an Episcopal Church and are open for day tours booked in advance.

 

Residential Buildings and easel
 

Aventura is widely considered to be one of the best places to live in Florida, and its modern urban atmosphere continues to attract people from northern cities like New York, Washington, DC, Boston, MA, and Chicago, IL Even residents from fellow coastal state California are finding their way to this highly livable city in Miami-Dade County.

The median sale price of sold homes here has been moving within the range of $260,000 and $535,000 in the last five years, with luxury properties typically hovering between $950,000 and $1.6 million. The most expensive home in the area sold for $6.4 million. The relative affordability of luxury homes, combined with an increasing housing inventory, makes Aventura one of the best places to invest in or snap up real estate this 2023.

Most of the residential communities in the city are just a few decades old, which is why modern, contemporary, and art deco architectural designs are quite common in Aventura, FL real estate. Classic Mediterranean architecture is also a popular design choice among Aventura homes for sale, given Aventura’s coastal location.
