Healthcare & Safety in Aventura
Aventura's clearest healthcare fact is a strong one: HCA Florida Aventura Hospital, a Level II trauma center with an A Leapfrog Safety Grade, is located within the city. Crime data sends a genuinely mixed signal depending on the source and methodology, which is disclosed here rather than resolved by picking the more favorable figure.

HCA Florida Aventura Hospital is an American College of Surgeons-verified Level II Trauma Center with a reported bed count that varies by source (roughly 407-493 beds). U.S. News & World Report ranks it the #37 Best Regional Hospital in Florida and #8 in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale metro area, it holds an A Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, and it is rated "high performing" in eight adult procedures and conditions, with about 85% of surveyed patients willing to recommend it (health.usnews.com; ratings.leapfroggroup.org, retrieved 2026-08-22) -- a genuine, in-city healthcare anchor.
Crime data: sources disagree sharply
CrimeGrade.org gives Aventura an overall B+ grade (73rd percentile, safer than 73% of cities graded), with an overall crime rate around 17.4 per 1,000 residents and a violent crime rate around 2.9 per 1,000 -- varying sharply by neighborhood, from a 1-in-69 violent-crime chance in the northwest to 1-in-1,073 in the southeast. NeighborhoodScout, using a different methodology, describes Aventura's overall crime rate (about 40 per 1,000) as one of the highest in the country compared to all U.S. communities, while its violent-crime rate (about 2 per 1,000) reads as roughly average nationally (both retrieved 2026-08-22). These two sources point in different directions on overall risk -- CrimeGrade's B+/73rd-percentile read versus NeighborhoodScout's "one of the highest" characterization -- and that disagreement is disclosed rather than resolved by choosing one.
Condo buildings add a building-specific security layer
Most Aventura residential buildings are staffed high-rise condominiums with their own front-desk/concierge security, controlled building access, and often on-site or roving private security -- a real, if building-specific, safety factor distinct from citywide crime statistics. Confirm a specific building's actual security staffing and protocols directly rather than assuming uniformity across the city's condo stock.
Key takeaways
- HCA Florida Aventura Hospital (Level II Trauma Center, A Leapfrog Safety Grade, #37 in Florida and #8 in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale metro per U.S. News) is located within city limits -- a genuine in-city healthcare anchor.
- CrimeGrade.org grades Aventura B+ (73rd percentile, safer than most cities graded), while NeighborhoodScout describes its overall crime rate as one of the highest nationally -- the two sources disagree sharply on overall risk; violent crime reads as roughly average nationally in both.
- Most Aventura buildings carry their own staffed security (front desk, controlled access) -- a real, building-specific safety factor beyond citywide statistics.
- Confirm current, address- and building-specific crime and security data directly with CrimeGrade.org or NeighborhoodScout before making a relocation decision, given how much the two major sources disagree here.
