Aventura, Florida

[6] Initially referred to as "Turnberry", Aventura began to be developed during the early 1970s and became an incorporated city in 1995.

[7] The city is home to the luxury resort Turnberry Isle, where the yacht Monkey Business was docked during the Gary Hart/Donna Rice incident, which contributed to Hart's ending his 1988 bid for the presidency.

Built in 1983, it is a joint venture of Turnberry Associates and Simon Property,[9] and brings a major source of income to the city.

In early 2001, former US President Bill Clinton delivered one of his first speeches after leaving the White House at Aventura-Turnberry Jewish Center.

Temperatures in the high 80s to low 90s (30–35 °C) accompanied by high humidity are often relieved by afternoon thunderstorms or a sea breeze that develops off the Atlantic Ocean, which then allow lower temperatures, although conditions still remain very muggy.

Aventura was severely hit by Hurricane Wilma on October 24, 2005, and was still undergoing recovery as of November 2011.

Terraces flew off of high-rises and condos on high floors were flooded with many of their walls exploding into next-door apartments and adjacent hallways.

[13] As of the 2020 United States census, there were 40,242 people, 17,770 households, and 9,341 families residing in the city.

Other languages spoken include Portuguese 2.65%, French 2.40%, Russian 1.75%, and German at 1.46% of city residents.

[20] Aventura's partnership with Freebee offers free, on-demand, electric ride-sharing for anyone who wants to get around the city.

Over the last 30 years, travel infrastructure in Aventura has been heavily funded and influenced by developers of the many highrise condominium projects near the beach.

Efforts to mitigate traffic impacts associated with increased travel demand to and from these projects led to the majority of principal road, bridge and structure designed primarily to accommodate automobile travel.

This, coupled with single-use zoning and a general lack of connectivity for pedestrians, cyclists and similar modes has contributed to heavy traffic congestion on and near Biscayne Boulevard (US 1), despite this highway having up to ten travel lanes at points.

A grade separation at the intersection of Ives Dairy Road and Biscayne Boulevard was constructed to facilitate westbound travel leading to Interstate 95 and free flowing eastbound right turns, but traffic signal phasing of the remaining approaches was unchanged, and the intersection continued to experience regular long queues.

Although no interstates run through the city, I-95 is 1 mile (1.6 km) to the west, with access from Exit 16 (Ives Dairy Road).

The Turnberry Golf Course is a three-mile walking/jogging paved promenade which overlooks a multi million-dollar horticultural exhibit, lakes, opulent residential high rises, yachts and the Atlantic Ocean.

[27] The Northeast Branch of the Miami-Dade Public Library System serves Aventura[28] as a means of accessing information for all education alike.
