Living in Coral Gables

Coral Gables offers a distinctive combination of historic character, mature landscaping and refined city planning. Its streets, plazas and residential districts feel established in a way that many newer South Florida communities do not.

The housing market ranges from charming older residences near the urban core to renovated family homes, golf-course properties, luxury condominiums and private waterfront estates. Location within Coral Gables matters greatly, because each pocket offers a different combination of walkability, privacy, lot size, water access and architectural style.

Residents enjoy proximity to Miracle Mile, Merrick Park, major employers, respected schools, parks, golf and the waterfront. The city is also centrally positioned for access to Coconut Grove, Brickell, Downtown Miami and Miami International Airport.

Local buying tip:
Compare not only price and square footage, but also property condition, renovation history, lot characteristics, insurance considerations, water access and neighborhood restrictions.
