Aventura

Miami-Dade County, Florida

Aventura is a planned, suburban city in northeastern Miami-Dade County, Florida, with a population of approximately 38,000. The city, which is 18 miles north of Miami, is named after the Spanish word for “adventure” and was incorporated in 1995. It is a vibrant, full-service municipality with a diverse demographic base and is recognized internationally as a premier location in which to live, shop, and play.

Aventura is 3.2 square miles and conveniently located between two major South Florida airports and two of the largest and most popular seaports in the world. It is host to restaurants, movie theaters, and the Aventura Mall, with downtown Fort Lauderdale and Miami just 20 minutes away.

The idyllic location that makes Aventura such a desirable place to live and stay also makes it vulnerable to sea level rise and flooding. The city is proactive in its mitigation efforts, participating in the national flood insurance program and offering its residents local flood facts and resources such as the Flood Prevention and Safety Guide.
