Bay Heights Is Doing Just Fine — This Sale Confirms It

Where: 58 Bay Heights Dr, Miami, FL 33133

When: Late 2025

If you've been wondering whether Bay Heights' luxury momentum has cooled—this is your answer.

In September 2025, a five-bedroom modern residence at 58 Bay Heights Drive closed at $5.999 million, marking one of the most significant sales the neighborhood has seen in recent years. 

It may not have shattered records (Bay Heights' peak is still the $7.2 million sale in 2024), but the message was loud and clear: demand in Bay Heights isn’t going anywhere.

What makes the sale even more telling is the context. 

At the time, Bay Heights had just a handful of homes available, with roughly eight listings spanning the low $2 million to the mid-$8 million. 

Limited inventory paired with serious buyers has kept pricing firm—and in many cases, climbing—even as other parts of the market experienced hesitation.

For sellers, this reinforces Bay Heights' position as a neighborhood where quality listings continuously command attention. 

For buyers, it's a reminder that opportunities in Bay Heights are scarce, competition is real, and waiting often means paying more later.

Here Are A Few New (Delicious) Reasons to Cross US-1

Where: Coconut Grove

When: August to November 2025

Crossing US-1 has recently become far more rewarding for residents of Bay Heights, thanks to a small but standout wave of new dining spots on the Grove side.

Leading the charge is Aiko & Mumu (near Grove Central on SW 27th Ave), which opened in August 2025 and immediately gained hype for its compact size and high-impact menu. 

Known for Japanese sandos on house-baked milk bread—pork katsu, soy-marinated egg, and other carefully layered combinations—the shop also offers chef-driven bento boxes with sushi and donburi bowls. 

It launched with lines out the door and has since settled into reliable favorite status, especially for quick lunch runs that still feel like a treat.

A few minutes deeper into the Grove, inside the iconic bookstore, Banh Vietnamese & Boba (265 Aragon Ave) brought banh mì and bubble tea into an unexpected yet fitting setting in late 2025. 

Opened by two young chefs—including a University of Miami alum and a Chopped Junior winner—Banh offers a focused menu of four banh mì options, from classic pork to a French dip–inspired short rib, paired with playful, well-balanced boba drinks —casual, unfussy, and perfectly aligned with Coconut Grove's indie character.

Then there's Chèvre at Ziggurat (Fuller Street at the Ziggurat sales gallery), a November pop-up that became a preview of what's coming for the area. 

A second outpost of the cult-favorite Shenandoah cheese shop, Chèvre serves its signature gourmet sandwiches—such as Frenchman with comté, Parisian ham, and butter on a baguette—alongside curated wines for tasting. 

Weekend events, including wine tastings and fondue nights on the temporarily closed street, turned the space into an easy neighborhood hangout well before construction on the larger Ziggurat project begins.

Good food, interesting concepts, and new favorites remain only minutes away—and now, crossing US-1 will never feel like a detour.
