Communities of Miami: AVENTURA

Are you dreaming of a young-and-lively, upscale condo community where the sun shines and the skies are blue? Wouldn’t it be great if you could live, shop and play in this coastal utopia? Well, now you can. Come to Aventura, one of Miami-Dade’s most recent communities, and make all your dreams come true!

Location

Aventura sits on the Intracoastal Waterway in northeast Miami-Dade County. It’s conveniently located between two main South Florida airports and two of the world's most favored seaports. Restaurants, theaters and the Aventura Mall are nearby, and both downtown Fort Lauderdale and Miami are just 20 minutes away.

The Community

Aventura was incorporated in 1995, so it doesn’t have a long history. But the city does have a whole lot of infrastructure to showcase. More than $43 million has been spent on beautification projects, including improved drainage, lighting, parks, pedestrian and safety upgrades, streets and sidewalks. Aventura’s residents also enjoy a modern 77,000-square-foot Government Center with commission chambers, administrative offices and police station.

High-Rise Condos

Atlantic One at The Point - This contemporary 29-story building will be one of the most extraordinary residences found in Aventura. It contains two, three and four bedrooms, and amenities galore. The entry is a stunning two-story marble lobby with elevators that open to private foyers. The Point also provides owners with exclusive use of The Resident Club & Spa, excluding annual dues and equity fees. Homes are offered in the mid-$600,00s to $1.4 million.

Bella Mare - This state-of-the-art tower will soar 30 stories and boast "sky homes," luxury residences that range from 2,185 to 4,430 square feet. Each unit offers key access to an elevator that leads to the private-entrance lobby. Other amenities include vaulted ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows; sliding glass doors; and high-end appliances. All living areas will enjoy east or west views, some with "see-through" vistas. The impressive design combines a two-story lobby; two-story bayview social room with a kitchen and bar; surround-sound media room with theater-style seating; modern fitness center with steam rooms; private lounge, game room and library; private board room; and guest suites. The property also features a pool and spa, social pavilion and poolside grills.

Two Communities

Presidential Estates - Midway between Fort Lauderdale and Miami on the coastal side of Interstate 95, you’ll find Presidential Estates, an elite residence with a country-club feel. Welcome to a community of utmost security, including a 24-hour guarded gatehouse. Amenities include parks and playgrounds for outdoor activities; a Tommy Fazio-designed golf course and pro shops; and fine and casual dining at the Clubhouse.

Porta Vita - Directly on the waterfront, a remarkable residence is in the works in Aventura. Situated north of Turnberry Isle in northern Dade County, Porta Vita will be a creation like no other. This retreat, designed for 375 homeowners, boasts privacy, serenity and security. At the heart of Porto Vita stands the spectacular Villa Grande, inspired by classic Italian Renaissance architecture and crafted by old-world master artists. Created by Gian Enrico Fabro, the club is a masterpiece of art and sophistication. Porta Vita will attract discriminating residents who appreciate the beauty and treasure of this Italian-styled restoration.
