Coconut Grove Waterfront Prices in Brief
Few Grove houses on the water sell in any one year, so you read five years at once.

What this is for
Use the closed sales of houses on the water at $2 million and up, by MLS closed sales joined to the County's parcels, to see what the water adds in the Grove; a few sell each year, so five years are read together.

What types of waterfront are there in Coconut Grove?
You have three things to tell apart in the Grove. A house on open bay faces the water directly. A house on a cove or channel reaches the same bay from a sheltered inlet. A house across South Bayshore Drive from the water may have the view, but its lot does not touch the bay.
- Nº 01
43houses
Open bay.
43 houses, by the County's record. South Bayshore Lane holds the most, 13, then Bayshore Villas Drive with 4.
- Nº 02
68houses
Cove or channel.
68 houses. Rockerman Road holds 10, Fairhaven Place 9, and Matheson Avenue, Stewart Avenue and South Bayshore Lane 7 each.
- Nº 03
A bay view, not waterfront.
The condominium towers of South Bayshore Drive stand across the drive from the bay. Their parcels do not touch it.
What this is for
Use the kind of water a lot touches, 43 houses on open bay and 68 on a cove or channel by the County's record, to tell a bay view from a dock before you compare prices.

What is on Coconut Grove's bayfront?
The center of Coconut Grove's bayfront is public parkland. Peacock Park, Regatta Park and David T. Kennedy Park run along it, with Dinner Key Marina between them.
On the water: the Coconut Grove Sailing Club, Coral Reef Yacht Club, Biscayne Bay Yacht Club, the U.S. Sailing Center and Shake-A-Leg Miami.
What can a Coconut Grove dock reach?
No bridge stands between the Grove's shore and the open bay in either record read: the National Bridge Inventory lists only two bridges in the area, and the one over water is on the Coral Gables Canal, and the County's bridge layer returned none here. So on a Grove dock, the limit you need to check is depth. NOAA's Coast Pilot 4 gives Dinner Key Channel a reported controlling depth of 7 feet in the channel and 8 feet in the basin, in 1998, and berthage for 370 boats at the City's Dinner Key Yacht Basin, with depths of 5 to 8 feet alongside. These are historical soundings from that year, not a current survey, so confirm the depth at a given dock before you buy.

What this is for
Use the bridge records, which show none between the Grove's shore and Biscayne Bay, to see that a Grove dock's limit is the water's depth, not a bridge; read the depth on the current chart before an offer; NOAA reported 7 feet in Dinner Key Channel in 1998.

What is the price per square foot of a Coconut Grove waterfront home?
A Coconut Grove house on the water is priced by its lot and its water more than by its square foot. Houses on the water closed at a median of $8,000,000 in the five years to September 30, 2026, from 21 sales at $2 million or more: 6 on open bay and 15 on a cove or channel. Their median lot is 14,500 Sq.Ft. For a reference off the water, houses at that level closed at a median of $1,014 per square foot (MLS closed sales joined to the County's parcels).
What this is for
Use the 21 sales on the water and the medians off it at $2 million and up, by MLS closed sales joined to the County's parcels, to place a Grove waterfront home; one home's price follows its own lot, its water and its house.

What does it cost to own a waterfront home in Coconut Grove?
Your property tax is the City of Miami's: 19.9878 mills before any exemption, in the 2025 adopted table. A waterfront home pays it as any other does, and carries three costs of its own.
The flood zone
47 in zone VE
Of the 111 houses on the water, FEMA's map places 47 in zone VE, the coastal high-hazard zone, 61 in zone AE and 3 in zone X, each read at the center of the lot. The median base flood elevation is 13 feet. The zone is the map's, not a statement of any home's risk or premium.
The seawall and the dock
Class I permit
Miami-Dade County requires a Class I permit for "any work in, on, over or upon tidal waters or coastal wetlands anywhere in Miami-Dade County".
The lot
70 ft yards
As adopted with Miami 21, the Coconut Grove conservation district sets an Estate Lot at one acre, and yards on South Bayshore Drive of 70 feet at least. Nine of the 111 houses stand on an acre or more.
What this is for
Use the City of Miami's millage, 19.9878 mills in the Miami-Dade Property Appraiser's 2025 adopted table, to estimate the tax, then add the three costs of the water; confirm a home's flood zone, its permits and its seawall before an offer.

Which Coconut Grove enclaves are on the water?
Two Coconut Grove communities have a guard gate, Four Way Lodge Estates and Entrada, by the County's record, with their gatehouses on Poinciana Avenue and Matheson Avenue. Both streets hold houses on the water, so if a gate matters to you, start with those two. Bay Heights, Natoma Manors and Fairhaven have a roving patrol and no gate.
What this is for
Use the County's security districts to see which Grove streets have a guard gate and which a patrol; only 2 have a gate.

Talk to Julian Acosta
Which water? It's the first question I ask about a house in the Grove. Only 111 touch the bay, 43 of them on open water, and FEMA's map puts 47 in the coastal high-hazard zone. I read the lot and the public record before the listing. A bay view from across South Bayshore Drive is a different purchase, and I'll tell you so. When I give you a figure, I show you where it came from.
