Homes of Desire

As a current Cloisters on the Bay resident, I can only say that, although we are sad our NBA neighbor James Posey will be leaving our beautiful neighborhood, I am excited that a new person or family will get to share the grogeous views and Coconut Grove-vibe I am lucky enough to enjoy every day.  The Grove is, in my opinion, one of the best parts of Miami to live in - just take a look at what Mr. Posey himself had...
