A Beloved Coconut Grove Market Faces An Uncertain Future
The Coconut Grove Organic Farmers Market could soon be gone, as new development replaces the community's landmarks, piece by piece.

Life In 'The Grove'
Many neighborhoods in South Florida have one “feel” to them, but not “The Grove”. Residents and visitors from all over the world come to Coconut Grove to enjoy the broad menu of life, from a strong sense of community with local schools, hospitals and small businesses to a hot nightlife which beckons those who want a bit of excitement poured into their day.
The interesting part of the grove’s history, originally founded in 1825, was born when, in the mid-20th century, artists arrived and called Coconut Grove home. That cultural part of the neighborhood is still very much alive. Each year the Coconut Grove Art Festival draws thousands of visitors from across the country to view and buy artworks. Through the years, new arrivals came to the area: upscale boutiques, fabulous restaurants, cafes, salons, spas and gorgeous parks. The playground in Peacock Park, for example, will keep your children occupied for hours while you take a few moments to relax.
Location does matter and no neighborhood outdoes Coconut Grove. We are a few short miles from the University of Miami’s exquisite campus and for those who work in downtown Miami, we are a short ride to the office. Press on and in a few more minutes you are in exciting Miami Beach.
Work out at David T. Kennedy Park. You’ll find actual workout equipment for your use and exercise stations that tell you how to use the equipment. There is a playground for the kids and a gated area for Fido. This park will be unlike any park you have ever seen, with Baby Boot Camp and yoga classes open to all.
Residents will tell you that we have the best of everything: the best hotels, the best restaurants, the best waterfront, the best farmer’s market. Many vacationers return year after year while others come to explore the possibility of becoming a permanent part of life in Coconut Grove.
We hope you are intrigued. Come see for yourself. We would be pleased to show you around The Grove, where we live and work. In the case of Coconut Grove, there’s no place like home.

Steven Pasternack
New Life Ventures Inc.
“I fully recommend Ven-American Real Estate. Shortly after I enlisted their aid they had found a suitable office tenant for my property. Mr. Kruss found several tenants for me to choose from within a relatively short period of time. I appreciate the fact that he didn’t just throw any person at me to rent my property like other agencies do. Each potential tenant was fully looked into before they were presented to me. I’m impressed and will definitely recommend Ven-American Real Estate to everyone.”
