Living in Aventura: What to Know
Reviewed
Aventura's apartment options include large waterfront condo communities, gated island settings and centrally leased rentals. Many buildings offer pools, tennis and club facilities, but proximity to the ocean is different from direct beach access. Compare the specific community's entrances, parking and your regular driving route alongside views and amenities.
10 Aventura Apartment Buildings to Consider
1. Peninsula
Peninsula is a two-tower waterfront condo community with larger apartments, pools, fitness facilities and tennis. Reviews repeatedly praise security and valet staff, along with water views. Apartments are individually owned, so finishes and lease terms vary.

Apartments are individually owned, with rental terms and access to island club facilities depending on the lease.
3. One Island Place
One Island Place combines two waterfront condo towers with private entrance foyers, two large pools, fitness facilities and tennis. Reviews emphasize quiet surroundings, upkeep and attentive security. The layouts distinguish it from newer towers with smaller apartments, while individual owners set lease terms and the condition of each rental.
4. Mystic Pointe
Mystic Pointe combines six condo towers within a gated Intracoastal community, with shared tennis, marina access and waterfront walking paths. Tower 100 reviewers praise quiet surroundings and upkeep; Tower 200 reviews praise the grounds and security but also describe entrance congestion and uneven staff friendliness.

6. Porto Vita
Porto Vita includes North and South Towers, the Bella Vista buildings and townhomes, with shared access to the Villa Grande Club, dining, tennis and marina. South Tower reviewers praise water views, landscaped grounds and the clubhouse. Its club-centered setting differs from a conventional rental building, while leases are arranged through individual owners and association approval.
7. Echo Aventura
Echo Aventura offers Intracoastal-front condos with a bayfront infinity pool, fitness facilities, a rooftop garden and concierge service. Residents praise views and amenities. Management receives mixed feedback, including later reports of improvement after earlier complaints. Its lower-rise scale distinguishes it from Aventura's taller waterfront towers.
8. Marina Tower of Turnberry Isle
Marina Tower of Turnberry Isle offers larger waterfront condo apartments with a marina, heated pool, spa and fitness facilities. Reviews describe quiet surroundings and attentive staff. Its six-month minimum lease suits longer stays, while the older building's individually owned apartments differ in renovations, furnishings and the space available.
9. Turnberry Towers
Turnberry Towers is an established Intracoastal condominium with a heated pool, spa, fitness center, valet parking and round-the-clock security. Residents praise cleanliness and courteous valet staff, while complaints focus on management. Apartments are individually owned, so compare the specific unit, laundry arrangements and owner-set lease terms.
10. Turnberry Isle
Turnberry Isle combines two towers of waterfront condos with pools, tennis, fitness facilities and a marina. Residents praise staff and landscaped grounds. Complaints describe elevator reliability, slow management and uneven valet service. Laundry also varies: some renovated apartments have in-unit machines, while shared facilities serve other units.
Rental Building or Condo?
The featured buildings are condos leased through individual owners. Compare renovations, furnishing, included utilities and minimum lease length. Association approval can add another step before moving in. In larger developments, compare the specific tower and access to shared clubs.
Comparing Rental Costs
Compare floor area alongside bedroom count, particularly in buildings with larger residences. Add utilities and parking that the owner does not include, and separate approval or move-in charges from monthly rent. Owner-paid association dues should not be treated as an automatic extra charge to the renter.
