Miami neighborhood guide
Coral Gables Real Estate
Mediterranean architecture, tree-lined boulevards, and the University of Miami — Coral Gables is Miami's most prestigious address.
Coral Gables, incorporated in 1925 by developer George Merrick, is one of America's first planned communities and remains one of its most beautiful. Known as 'The City Beautiful,' it is defined by its Mediterranean Revival architecture, strict design standards, lush tree-lined boulevards, and the iconic Venetian Pool — a public swimming pool carved from a coral rock quarry. Miracle Mile is the commercial heart, lined with bridal boutiques, restaurants, and galleries. The University of Miami anchors the southern end, contributing to a highly educated, international residential base. The real estate market is dominated by estate homes, luxury condos in gated communities, and a small but prestigious new development pipeline.
