A city brimming with picturesque travel spots and exciting activities only deserves an equally enticing name–and with that came “Aventura!”

Named after the Spanish word for “adventure,” Aventura got its name rather unexpectedly, which is quite the opposite of how perfectly planned this community has sought out to be. It came about after the developers of the original group of condominiums in the area, Eddie Lewis and Don Soffer, remarked, “What an adventure this is going to be,” and well, the rest is history!

A major part of the present city of Aventura was initially swampland called “Biscayne Gardens” and was developed through the 1970s and ’80s by the Oxford Development Company. After 35 years of careful planning and building, the residential community was incorporated in 1995 and is now recognized as one of the most sought-after places to live in the Miami area–and maybe even the rest of the country.

Aventura has everything you can ever dream of in a residential area–a well-planned and thoughtful layout with plenty of beautiful green spaces, waterways, and canals, and proximity to everything that makes Miami great!

For many, Aventura is synonymous with shopping, and really, I couldn’t agree more! The neighborhood might even have the most prime shopping spots in Miami–Aventura Mall, Loehmann’s Fashion Island, Aventura Shopping Center, Aventura Commons, The Promenade Shops, The Shoppes at the Waterways, and Gulfstream Village!

Of course, aside from a bountiful shopping scene, Aventura also offers luscious parks, historic tourist spots, a handful of high-traffic marinas, and proximity to the Atlantic shore, so it’s no surprise how popular Aventura is to homeowners and travelers alike!

The city is also the home of TALK Schools Aventura located at 19032 NE 29th Ave, Miami, FL, 33180.
