Local Knowledge. Data-Driven Insight.
Most neighborhood guides give you a paragraph of lifestyle copy and a median price pulled from wherever was convenient. This page is different. Every number here comes from the same source (MLS closed single-family home sales), covers the same trailing 12-month window (April 2025 through March 2026), and was cleaned and verified the same way. That means you can compare across neighborhoods and actually trust what you are looking at.
I cover seven neighborhoods across Miami-Dade County -- Glenvar Heights, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Pinecrest, South Miami, Kendall, and Palmetto Bay -- from the Grove's $2.65M median to Kendall's $1M market. Each one has a full city guide with deeper data, school information, lifestyle context, and the kind of nuance that only comes from working these streets for over 20 years. The comparison table below is your starting point. The individual guides are where you go to get serious.
If you are buying or selling in Glenvar Heights, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Pinecrest, South Miami, Kendall, or Palmetto Bay, start with the data below. Then call me when you are ready to get specific.

Frequently Asked Questions
Of the seven neighborhoods I cover, Coconut Grove has the highest median sale price at $2,650,000 (MLS, Apr 2025 - Mar 2026), followed by Pinecrest at $2,535,000 and Coral Gables at $2,000,000. These figures are for single-family homes only. All-residential numbers (which include condos and townhomes) will be significantly lower, especially in Coconut Grove and Kendall where multi-family housing makes up a large share of the inventory.
Coconut Grove leads with +21.8% year-over-year growth in single-family home median sale price, followed by Coral Gables at +6.0% and Glenvar Heights at +2.2% (resale only). Two neighborhoods saw modest declines: Pinecrest (-6.0%) and Palmetto Bay (-2.7%). South Miami and Kendall were essentially flat. All figures are based on MLS closed SFH sales, April 2025 through March 2026.
Most real estate platforms report all-residential data, which includes condos, townhomes, and single-family homes in a single median figure. In neighborhoods with significant condo inventory (like Coconut Grove or Kendall), this pulls the median down considerably. I filter for single-family homes only, which gives a more accurate picture of the house market. For example, Kendall's all-residential median is around $500K, but the single-family median is $1,000,000.
The fastest-moving single-family market is Kendall at 39 days on market (median), followed by South Miami at 44 days and Coconut Grove at 47 days. Coral Gables and Palmetto Bay are both at 50 days. Glenvar Heights sits at 55 days. Pinecrest is the slowest at 77 days, reflecting both its higher price point and a market that is recalibrating after two years of strong appreciation.
Pinecrest has the largest typical lot at 24,534 SF (just over half an acre), which is a major part of its appeal for families who want space. Glenvar Heights, Palmetto Bay, and Kendall all offer lots in the 15,000-16,500 SF range (roughly a third of an acre). South Miami and Coral Gables are around 10,000 SF (quarter acre). Coconut Grove has the smallest lots at 7,500 SF, reflecting its walkable, urban-village density.
I have been working these seven neighborhoods for over 20 years, with $200M+ in career sales and 100+ five-star Google reviews. Every data point on this page comes from my own analysis of MLS data, not a third-party screenshot.
