Moving to Aventura: a practical guide
Housing and what it costs
Aventura is condo country: high-rises and gated tower communities dominate, with rentals typically starting around $3,000/month for a two-bedroom and climbing steeply for waterfront buildings like Williams Island. Purchase prices span an enormous range depending on building age and water views. Figures are approximate as of mid-2026 — use the apartment search above for live listings.
Picking a building
For observant families the building decision is really a shul decision: the Waterways area puts you near Young Israel of Aventura and Chabad at the Waterways, while the NE 210th Street corridor orients around Aventura Chabad and its on-campus mikvah. Sephardic and Israeli families cluster near the Safra Synagogue and Netive Ezra. Check the map above for actual walking routes — Aventura’s superblocks can make two nearby points a long walk around.
Kosher and daily life
Kosher Kingdom handles the full weekly shop, with more dining and grocery depth ten minutes away in North Miami Beach’s Skylake corridor and in Surfside. Many families treat Aventura, NMB, and Surfside as one connected kosher ecosystem.
Schools
Most Aventura families use the day schools a short drive south — Scheck Hillel in North Miami Beach serves 18 months through grade 12 — alongside preschool options at the local Chabad houses.
Getting around
Aventura sits between Miami and Fort Lauderdale airports (each roughly 25 minutes), with the Brightline stations in Aventura and Fort Lauderdale connecting the coast. Within the neighborhood, walkability to shul is genuinely good by South Florida standards — that’s the reason observant families choose it.
