The Waterways are a jewel in Aventura, situated on the north end of our small elite community. I am one of the fortunate ones to call it home. The community is “U” shaped and built around the Waterways Marina. The Waterways Marina houses some of the most exquisite yachts from around the world-featuring an inlet with no wake zone located off the Intracoastal and across the water from Golden Beach.
The Waterways were developed by Coscan builders whose dream began in the late eighties. Because each community is gated, families with small children immediately flocked to live in the safety and beauty of its confines. I was living in a waterfront home in Cocoplum in Coral Gables in 1994 until my real estate career became so busy that I decided to move to Aventura to give my boys added supervision from their grandparents who were residing there.
I found a community called Island Way on the south end of the Waterways. The Island Way community was the first home I saw, and I knew it would be the last. At the time I banked at the County National bank on the corner of Waterways and Biscayne Blvd. and the wooded fields from the bank stretched to the Waterways communities. I would see foxes when I went to the ATM at night and being an animal lover I truly enjoyed it. The quaint Waterways Shoppes have a clock tower and boardwalk jutting out to gazebo mid-water.
There are restaurants and shops galore. Kampaii is upstairs next to the dental office of my excellent Dentist Dr. Barry Segal. (Oh and don’t tell anyone-shhh!) Well hidden is the Waterways Post Office, full service without long lines! Not to mention the terrific coffee at Café Café, which has great snacks too! Other restaurants include The Peppermill, Barnios Latino’s, Sarah’s Tent, Prime Grill and more. You can watch the water, sit outside or stroll along and browse the Art Gallery or Antique Store. You will fall in love with South Florida's real estate.
The kids love the ice cream and candy store with the rides outside. It is a true family adventure. The first community in Waterways was The Portsview Condo and Town Homes built in 1988, followed by other towers and gated communities. On the south end of the Waterways is One Island Place, the first private elevator building in Aventura. One Island Place shares the same guarded gate as my community-Island Way, home to 84 homes. Some of these homes are located on the intracoastal.
Almost at the north end is the prestigious Point, which is comprised of The Courtyards of the Point Town Homes and 5 towers completed in 2004. Gated Aventura Lakes is a community of 400+ homes on sparkling man-made lakes.
I am now on the far west-end of the Waterways in my new office condo, in One Aventura Executive center. It is the home away from home for me, my superior staff and 35 savvy realtors. Who would have known?! I’m looking out the window of my private office and see the lovely vista of Aventura Lakes, Best Buy, Target, Aventura Hospital and gorgeous Gulfstream to the North, a beautiful skyline to the East, and to the west the stunning architecturally Westin Diplomat Hotel.
