After becoming a city in 1995, Aventura, Florida has established its niche as an enclave of tropical landscaping and water surrounding sleek high-rises and luxurious single-family homes. Majestic palms line the roadways and colorful flowers cover the medians of Aventura Boulevard and Country Club Drive. Aventura Founders Park located in the center of the city of Aventura, features a bayside path, a children’s playground, tennis courts and a multi-purpose athletic field. Aventura, Florida is synonymous with world-class shopping at Aventura Mall. To date, it is the largest in the area with six department store anchors and more than 250 shops.
Aventura is located in northeastern Miami-Dade County, Florida. The city name is from the Spanish word for adventure and was named Aventura because of the Aventura Mall in the city.
Most of what would later become the city of Aventura was planned during the 1970s when the area was all swampland (and was called Biscayne gardens at the time) by Turnberry International Realty as a high-rise residential area, and some of Miami’s tallest condominium towers are located there. Aventura is also home to the Aventura Mall, also developed and owned by Turnberry. The enormous success of the mall encouraged explosive growth in the area, and on November 7th 1995 the City of Aventura was incorporated.
