Aventura, with sleek high-rises and luxurious single-family homes, is 12 miles north of Miami and 12 miles south of Fort Lauderdale, smack in the middle of metropolitan South Florida.
It is best known for its shopping center, the Aventura Mall, the third-largest mall in the United States.
Just a short drive over the William H. Lehman Causeway are the famous beaches of South Florida.
