Aventura

Gated towers, golf, and the Aventura Mall lifestyle.

The neighborhood

Aventura is a planned city at the northern edge of Miami-Dade, built around golf courses, gated condominium communities, and one of the most productive shopping destinations in the country.

It is a mature, amenity-rich market: residents trade city density for resort-style towers, manicured grounds, and easy access to the beaches of Sunny Isles and the conveniences of the Aventura Mall.

The city is defined by its gated communities. Williams Island, Island Estates, Aventura Country Club, and The Waterways each offer a different version of the gated lifestyle, from island waterfront to golf-course estates.

Aventura is one of South Florida's most international and amenity-driven markets, with a strong Latin American buyer base and a resort-like daily life. We work the city community by community, because the right association and the right view matter as much as the unit.

The city is one of the most international and amenity-driven markets in South Florida, and the right community decision matters as much as the right unit.
