Living in Coconut Grove: What to Know
Reviewed
Coconut Grove offers distinct choices around the village center, bayfront and Metrorail corridor. Station-side rental buildings can make transit and shopping convenient, while waterfront condos offer a different setting. Compare the specific address with your regular destinations; a Coconut Grove label does not mean every building has the same walk to the village.
7 Coconut Grove Apartment Buildings to Consider
1. Grove Central Residences
Grove Central places rental apartments above shops including Target and Sprouts, beside Coconut Grove Metrorail. The rooftop pool, two-level gym and coworking spaces add convenience. Reviews praise staff, but required add-on charges, parking management and noise from early retail deliveries are recurring points to weigh.
2. Grove Station Tower
Grove Station Tower offers rentals near Coconut Grove Metrorail, including two-level townhomes as well as conventional apartments. A pool, gym, coworking areas and covered parking add convenience. Reviews consistently praise staff and upkeep. The station-side location differs from living around the Grove's village center and waterfront.
3. Zoi House Grove
Zoi House Grove is a smaller rental building near Metrorail and the Underline, with a rooftop pool, Jacuzzi, gym and meditation garden. Staff receive praise in reviews. Package losses, parking tickets and delays repairing shared facilities feature in complaints, making building services a relevant comparison alongside its quieter-scale setting.
4. Park Grove
Park Grove is a bayfront, three-tower condo development set within landscaped grounds. The towers have separate associations and different amenities: Club Residences differs from the larger homes in One and Two Park Grove. Reviews praise staff and surroundings, while the exact tower determines the facilities and apartment layouts available.
5. Grove Isle
Grove Isle offers condo apartments on a private island reached by a guarded bridge, with pools, gyms and concierge service across three towers. Reviews emphasize tranquility and water views. Its island setting sets it apart from village-center buildings; apartment renovations and rental conditions vary between owners and towers.
6. Grovenor House
Grovenor House combines larger condo residences with a gated entrance, tennis, a pool, spa, fitness center and valet service. Reviews praise spacious apartments, views and staff. A 2026 resident account describes pool-deck renovation work, a relevant consideration for anyone placing particular weight on the outdoor amenities.
7. Gibraltar
Gibraltar is a rental building with a pool, gym, security and assigned parking. Long-term residents praise staff and the location, while move-out charges feature in complaints. Its ordinary pet policy is restrictive, so renters comparing it with pet-friendly Grove buildings should account for that difference early in their search.
Rental Building or Condo?
The station-area rentals lease centrally, while Park Grove, Grove Isle and Grovenor House offer individually owned condos. Condo renovations, furnishings and terms vary. Multi-tower developments can also have separate associations and different amenity access, so compare the specific tower rather than treating every apartment in the complex as equivalent.
Comparing Rental Costs
Compare floor area, furnishing and parking alongside bedroom count. Add required rental-building packages, utilities and any separate parking costs. Larger waterfront condos may differ substantially in space from newer station-area apartments, while association approvals and move-in charges affect the upfront budget.
