Aventura, located less than a half-hour north of Miami, is full of vibrant amenities and is also experiencing rapid growth. Now is the time to move to this burgeoning suburb—after your first visit, you’ll see why it’s known as “The City of Excellence.”

Here’s my list for the best communities in Aventura. Whether you’re looking for a beachfront condo or a golf community, I’ve got the top picks that you need to see for yourself.

Aventura Estates

A home in one of the best communities in Aventura

Picture a stunning golf community with rolling fairways, meticulously designed homes, and prestigious amenities. This is exactly what you’ll get when you call Aventura Estates home. You won’t find a neighborhood like this anywhere else, and it’s truly the pinnacle of South Florida luxury.

This community is a rare find on the Turnberry Golf Course and boasts the best luxury features. Homes here can range from 2,000 to 5,000+ square feet and often include private pools, custom designs, chef-style kitchens, and so much more. You’ll be swept off your feet by the amenities—don’t miss the gated entrance, miles of exercise trails, and the marina.

Hidden Bay

Condo in one of the best communities in Aventura.

Have you always dreamed of a waterfront home? When you call Hidden Bay home, you’ll be able to experience coastal views and the grandeur of a premiere community. Hidden Bay condominiums range in price from $300,000 – $3,000,000, and these units are packed with unique features that you won’t find anywhere else.

Take a peek at a Hidden Bay condo and you’ll understand why it’s one of the best communities in Aventura. Most units feature views of Dumfoundling Bay, and you’ll also notice the stunning kitchens, spa-like bathrooms, and open floor plans. Looking for amenities? Hidden Bay has plenty of them, including pools, a marina, and a fitness center.

Golden Pointe

High rises in the best communities in Aventura.

Golden Pointe is the perfect mixture of privacy and convenience. Its proximity to the best South Florida amenities and its location on the Intracoastal Waterway make it an opulent place to call home. This gated island community features 1,750 – 2,750 square feet townhomes that are fully appointed with all the features you’re looking for.

When you step inside a Golden Pointe condo, you’ll be transported to your own slice of paradise. These townhomes come fully loaded—expect open floor plans, stunning master suites, and much more. The amenities will allow you to fully embrace the South Florida lifestyle. Residents also have access to a heated pool, tennis courts, a spa, and much more!

Porto Vita

Balcony on one of the best communities in Aventura.

Life on the Intracoastal Waterway is truly a breeze, and if you’re looking for the best spot to call home, I recommend Porto Vita. Situated on the water, Porto Vita is a sprawling community of luxury high-rises and townhomes. Here, expect jaw-dropping waterfront and golf course views. The homes themselves are also something to behold and come with fantastic amenities.

Homes in Porto Vita range from 2,250 – 6,000 square feet and start at $1,500,000, which make it a truly extravagant community. You’ll find features such as sprawling balconies, master suites with prestigious waterfront views, and open-concept floor plans for entertaining.

Sears Proposes Replacing Aventura Mall Store with Village

access_timeJanuary 15, 2015personScott Patterson

A major redevelopment could be on its way to Aventura, Florida, according to a recent article I was reading.

Evidently, Sears recently submitted a development proposal to the City of Aventura. In that proposal, Sears is recommending replacing its current store location at Aventura Mall with a little village.

This village would be comprised of retail, office and even hotel space.

Currently, Sears occupies two stories at Aventura Mall. But under the new plan, Sears would only occupy 20,000 square feet within the 250,000-square-foot village.

Developers want to call the project “Esplanade at Aventura.” If it is approved, industry analysts are already saying it would be better than the existing Piazza at Aventura Mall where Cheesecake Factory is located.

What Do You Think About Sears’ Plans?

Do you think it would be a good addition to the mall? Do you think it’s a wise business decision on the part of Sears? Would you rather see Sears stay the way it is?

I would love to hear your thoughts!

I’ll also make sure to keep you posted as these proposed plans go forward.

Meanwhile, if you’re considering entering the market anytime soon as an Aventura home buyer or home seller, make sure to contact me, Scott Patterson.

I’m your dedicated South Florida real estate expert and I will work hard to get you the results you want on the local housing market in Aventura!

access_timeJuly 14, 2014personScott Patterson

Talk about a major overhaul! The Point of Aventura, a luxury condominium with a track record for excellence, is about to receive some major renovations that will make it even more magnificent.

From the salon to the yoga studio, lobby to the garden room – there won’t be an inch of The Point that isn’t improved during this major renovation.

In the end, the residents of this community will be restored to a level of prestige and comfort that they’ve come to expect and deserve.

Flurry of New Luxury Condos Is The Driving Force Behind Renovations

According to the above video, The Point’s Master Board passed the large scale renovation project during a recent meeting.

A major driving force behind the renovations is the fact that the South Florida real estate market is seeing a flurry of new construction activity in the luxury condominium market.

This is putting pressure on existing condominiums to undergo large scale renovations in order to keep pace with area competition. For instance, the nearby Williams Island recently underwent a $5 million renovation of its spa and fitness center.

The results have been nothing short of incredible, with an overwhelmingly positive response from the residents and even a boost in property sales.

Now it’s The Point’s turn to undergo a major renovation that will significantly improve quality of life at this luxury South Florida condo.

Here is a breakdown of the renovations that are expected for the various sections of the building:

The Salon

More square footage
Elevated ceilings with improved lighting
Resort level equipment
New retail area for products
Appropriate ventilation and exhaust to enhance the experience

The Spa

New sauna and steam equipment
Enhanced lighting throughout
Fully functional massage treatment rooms
Redesign of various amenities for improved layout

The Lobby

Modernized finishes
New reception area that’s strategically placed for better visual monitoring
Upgraded grand staircase
New multipurpose room

Garden Room

Upgraded lighting
Improved ceiling design for elegance and improved acoustics
New audio visual system with drop down projection screen
Multi-zone temperature and volume control

Upper Level

An independent exterior access point to public hallways that will prevent further interruptions in the garden room

Throughout the Building

Expanded and renovated yoga room
New multipurpose room
Dedicated Pilates room

Wow! That’s an lengthy list of improvements coming to The Point

I personally can’t wait to see how it all comes together.

It’s encouraging to see that community leaders are dedicated to improving quality of life for current and future residents.

What’s more, these luxury upgrades are sure to result in the skyrocketing popularity of this condo on the Aventura real estate market.

Now is An Ideal Time to Relocate to The Point Condos in Aventura

Be one of the first residents to enjoy all of these fabulous upgrades. Purchase a luxury South Florida condominium at The Point today!

Miami-Dade County, Florida Real Estate is Booming!

access_timeApril 13, 2013personScott Patterson

Things are continuing to look up for the South Florida real estate market, according to the most recent data released.

Evidently, more and more investors are coming to South Florida to get a piece of the action – which in turn is strengthening our local housing market.

Miami, Florida Area Homes for Sale

According to the most recent article I read in the Miami-Herald, plenty of private equity firms in the area are snatching up prime South Florida real estate lately.

For example, Fort Capital recently purchased the historic Surf Club in Surfside. It is expected to be revitalized and later sold.

That’s what the company did after it bought most of the Capri South Beach along with other coveted pieces of South Florida real estate.

Experts say that the South Florida market is getting hotter and hotter, with demand rising.

This is particularly true in the hotel arena, where investors are buying and building hotels left and right!

The latest activity reflects a national trend in which the lodging industry is expected to spend more than $5 billion this year on upgrades that range from redesigned lobbies to additional fitness centers and restaurants.

Here in South Florida, some of the more specific drivers to this recent hotel boom include rising tourism numbers, scarcity of available land and more lenient lending policies.

Here’s what else you should know about the South Florida hotel industry:

Through September, hotels in Miami-Dade were more than 76 percent full, which is up slightly from the same period a year before.
Room rates in South Florida increased by 7 percent to almost $163.
Revenue per available room in South Florida also grew by about 8 percent year-over-year to $124.55.
Hotel transactions volume is expected to be about $650 million in the county this year, up 13 increase when compared to 2011

You may be thinking to yourself – that’s great but what exactly does this mean for the South Florida residential housing market?

Since everything is inter-connected, more interest and investments in the South Florida hotel market will likely lead to more interest and investments in the South Florida real estate market as well!

Your South Florida Real Estate Expert

South Florida Commercial Real Estate Market Showing Signs of Improvement

access_timeMarch 11, 2013personScott Patterson

The South Florida commercial real estate market is making great strides – albeit at a slow pace.

Evidently, recent data suggests that office vacancies are on the decline. In addition, regional and national retailers are expanding once again.

This has huge implications to the greater South Florida real estate market. After all, everything is connected when it comes to economics.

Thus, as the commercial real estate market continues to improve, that is only bound to help the residential real estate market continue to improve as well.

Commercial Real Estate in South Florida

According to the recent article I read in the Sun-Sentinel, office vacancies in both Broward County and Palm Beach County are down year-over-year, although they are still relatively high.

Here’s the most recent data on commercial real estate in South Florida:

The office vacancy rate in Broward County was 14.3 percent from July to September, down from 14.6 percent a year ago.
Meanwhile, Palm Beach County’s vacancy fell from 19.5 percent to 18.7 percent in that same year.
Generally speaking, a strong market would have vacancy rates between 8 to 10 percent.
During the third quarter of 2012, Broward County’s office rental rates fell from $24.75 to $23.75 when compared year-over-year.
Meanwhile, rates in Palm Beach County fell from $26 to $25.75 during that same period.
More restaurants and retail shops are leasing space as well.

Although these may seem like small improvements, this recent commercial real estate data suggests that the market is currently experiencing a rather positive trend.

This will pay off on the South Florida real estate market. After all, a more robust commercial real estate market will attract more workers and home buyers to the area – which will in turn create positive growth on the local housing market.

Buying and Selling South Florida Real Estate
