Moving to Entrada Estates? 7 Things You Need To Do Immediately!

 Immerse into the perfect blend of waterfront allure, prestige, and connectivity as you dive into life at Entrada Estates, an exclusive oasis of refinement, intimacy, and effortless living at Coconut Grove's southern tip. 

Let the towering mangroves and the calm waves of the Bay lead you to a new chapter in Entrada Estates, a bespoke coastal sanctuary in one of Miami's most luxurious suburban corners. 

Covering roughly 11 acres, Entrata Estates boasts an elite showcase of 32 exquisite, single-family homes peppered across three primary streets: Stewart Avenue, Matheson Avenue, and West Avenue, with the heart of Coconut Grove at its northern boundary, the Sunrise Harbour at its south, the thriving city of Coral Gables to the west, and the shores of Biscayne Bay defining its eastern edge.

 Sounds dreamy? Well, it's about to get better! 

You see, despite having an ultra-private ambiance enhanced by its gated perimeters, Entrada Estates thrives in its connectivity to everything legendary about Coconut Grove, allowing residents a coveted suburban lifestyle just minutes from the city's pleasures. 

 And if you're planning to move to this secluded sanctuary, we're here to help you navigate each step! 

 Here are 7 things you need to do IMMEDIATELY when moving to Entrada Estates. 

 (1) 

 Empower Your Estate: The Complete Utility Guide    

Are you ready to embrace a new chapter in Entrada Estates?

First things first — getting that home prepped and ready for your arrival!

To set up the electricity, visit the Florida Power & Light (FPL) website and create or log into your existing account to request a new connection or a service transfer.

New account holders must submit their applications with their Social Security, Driver's License, Social Insurance, or Tax ID number, the complete service address, and the connection date.

Meanwhile, existing FLP consumers only need to advise FPL of the date of disconnection (old address), the date of re-connection, and the complete address of their Grove home!

New and existing FPL consumers may need to pay a deposit of $25 (minimum) and initial set-up fees before service connection.

Are you hooking up your kitchen to natural gas? Great news — both TECO Peoples Gas (TPG) and Florida City Gas (FCG) are available in your area!

To apply for a service, submit the necessary IDs and date of connection through your newly created online account, or advise TECO or FCG of the date of disconnection (old address), the date of re-connection, and the new address if you're an existing consumer.

Expect to pay deposit fees based on your home's square footage and equal to twice the average monthly bill, alongside a connection fee, before the service starts.

Oh, and don't forget your running water!

To keep those taps flowing, visit the Miami-Dade Water & Sewer website to check for service availability. 

New residents need to set up an online account and be ready for a couple of essential charges: a $50 deposit each for water and sewer, plus a non-refundable $45 connection fee. 

If you're transferring services, settle outstanding balances before making the switch.

 The Perfect Connection: Internet and Cable TV Tips for Entrada Estates Newbies   

Find the perfect balance between exclusivity, privacy, and connectivity in Entrada Estates by securing premium internet and cable TV services for your estate!

For competitive bundles, look into well-established providers like Comcast Xfinity and AT&T!

Once you've chosen your preferred package, apply for a new service online or in person at the nearest store, submit the necessary IDs, advise them of your complete address, and the rest is history!

Meanwhile, existing Comcast and AT&T customers can also request a service transfer to the new address, provided they settle any remaining balance on their accounts before transferring! 

Deposits, activation/installation, and equipment rental fees may be charged upfront or reflected on the first bill.

 "Driving" Right Into The Grove: Getting Your Florida Driver's License in Entrada Estates   

Moving from another state or country?

Getting a Florida driver's license is the first step to becoming an honorary Floridian!

Yes, peeps, not only is this the quickest way to get an ID with your new Entrada Estates address, but a REQUIREMENT within 30 days of establishing residency and for driving on all Florida roads without breaking the law.

So, if you haven't gotten yours, head to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) or any local office offering driver's license services. 

To know which documents to bring, click on your residency status: 

The initial Florida Class E license, including a learner's permit, is $48.00, a commercial driver's license (Class A) is $75.00, and an ID Card fee is $25.00.

For a complete list of driver's license fees, click here. 

Those with a current or previous driver's license from another state, country, or jurisdiction don't have to take Drug and Alcohol courses, Class E Knowledge exams, and the Florida Driving tests.

However, the Vision and Hearing test is mandatory! 

Meanwhile, if you have an existing Florida driver's license, notify the DMV of your relocation so the new address will reflect on your ID and the system! 

Also, don't forget to get insurance to title and register your vehicle(s) within ten (10) days of establishing residency.
