Thinking of moving to Aventura? Here's what you need to know.

Aventura is a relaxed resort town in Miami-Dade County located 12 miles north of Miami and 12 miles south of Fort Lauderdale. With a population of about 37,000 residents, Aventura is tight-knit suburban haven in the middle of metropolitan South Florida. Situated oceanside, this part of the world rarely gets cold. In August, the average temperature is 83 degrees, while in February the average is 67 degrees.

Who's There?

Aventura is full of both new families and retirees who love the good life. More than 70 percent of the population is white, and a quarter of the males in Aventura earn at least $100,000 a year. Many residents only live in Aventura part-time, as this is very much a vacation destination. Much of the workforce that does stick around in the neighborhood works in education, health and social services.

What's Around?

Expensive, modern high-rise condos and single-family homes are surrounded by water and paradise-like beaches. Luxury resort Turnberry Isle is also located here, in addition to Aventura City of Excellence School, which is a K-8 charter school. For transport, you'll probably need a car here, although there's also the Aventura Express shuttle that's free for residents. The Miami-Dade Transit bus system also services the city.

What Do You ?

The laid-back way of life abounds here with long poolside or seaside lounges and ice-cold cocktails, or you can head over to some nearby docks to gaze at yachts and daydream. Shopping is a weekend way of life at Florida's largest mall, Aventura Mall, which houses several exclusive boutiques, as well as Bal Harbour Shops, which is only 15 minutes away. For parks, there are plenty to venture to, including Founders Park and Waterways Park. The Liberal Arts Theater will satisfy culture buffs, while the Turnberry Golf Course and Country Club Drive Circle, overlooking lakes and the ocean, will satiate both golfers and casual strollers. If you need a faster way of life, weekend adventures await in Miami, which is a half-hour car ride away, as is South Beach.
