Since the City's incorporation millions of dollars have been spent on infrastructure improvements including streets, sidewalks, lighting, park development, beautification projects, drainage, pedestrian and safety improvements. Some of these improvements include:
- A state-of-the-art Government Center provides a one-stop-shop for its' residents and houses all governmental operations, including Commission Chambers, Police Station and administrative offices.
- A Community/Recreation Center situated on 2.8 acres of land in a park like setting on the waterfront. This 25,000 square foot facility includes a gym, meeting rooms, computer lab, exercise and aerobic facilities.
- The first municipal-run charter school in Miami-Dade County. In order to address the growing number of families with school age children, the City Commission chose to take an aggressive approach to meet its changing demographics. Doors opened to the Aventura City of Excellence School in the Fall of 2003 which is adjacent to the new Community Recreation Center. The 45,000 square foot state-of-the-art school serves 900 Aventura schoolchildren from kindergarten to 8th grade.
