Coconut Grove Pathways

Coconut Grove neighborhoods may not have many sidewalks to speak of, but if you can make your way to the Commodore Bike Path or to South Bayshore Drive, you will have a pathway that leads you all the way north to Key Biscayne or south to Matheson Hammock Park and Fairchild Gardens.

I hear many people complain about the fact that we don’t have sidewalks like other areas.  But in my opinion the lack of them adds to the beauty of Coconut Grove.  Instead of having a setback of 10 feet on every property where there is only grass and concrete, owners plant lush gardens and trees (ever heard of the Coconut Grove land grab?).  It really adds to the canopy of the Grove :)

    Thanks, Riley. I’ve been wondering about the setbacks. So if you happen to have some boring grass next to the road and replace it with something more interesting, no one gets upset?

    Linda, most of the time that is correct. Usually people here in Coconut Grove seem to be comfortable with their neighbors doing what I call freestyle landscaping, it varies from street to street though.
