Coconut Grove station is a station on the Metrorail rapid transit system on the western end of the Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami, Florida. The station is located at the intersection of South Dixie Highway (US 1) and West 27th Avenue/Grapeland Boulevard (SR 9), opening to service on May 20, 1984.[1]

In 2018, there were plans to make the station entirely solar-powered.[3] The station has been closed since January 21, 2025 for renovations, and is expected to open again in spring of the same year.[4]

Station layout

[edit]

The station has two tracks served by an island platform. Immediately north of the platform lies a mixed-use development called Grove Central, with apartments, retail and a parking garage including parking specifically for the station.[5]
