A garden city vision that still shapes Coral Gables today
Central Coral Gables is a beautiful South Florida community that seamlessly blends its rich history with modern living along tree-shaded streets. The city of Coral Gables is well known for being a gorgeous place to live. It was developed in the 1920s by George Merrick, who had a clear idea of the kind of community he wanted to build: a beautiful garden of a city. His vision came to fruition quickly, and by 1925, the city was incorporated. Today, Coral Gables thrives as one of the best places to live in South Florida, particularly for those commuting to downtown Miami, less than 5 miles east.
Walkable streets connect homes to downtown and local history
Many facets of the city's history are interwoven with the day-to-day lives of Central Coral Gables residents. From the 1920s Spanish Revival architecture to the century-old oak and banyan trees in folks' backyards, the Garden City's bygone days give this community's lush streets inimitable character and charm. Due west, George Merrick's historic home is now preserved as a small museum. Downtown Coral Gables sits within walking distance of any home in the neighborhood, making for fun weekend day trips and quick errands.
The Actors' Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre in Coral Gables hosts several live shows.
The Merrick House was the childhood home of George E. Merrick, the founder of Coral Gables.

Spanish Revival homes dominate the single-family market
As for properties, mid- and low-rise condominium buildings fan out around Biltmore Way, which owes its name to the nearby 4-star Biltmore Hotel. These homes typically go for anything between the low $300,000s for a 600-square-foot, one-bedroom, one-bathroom condo to $7 million for a new construction, 4,974-square-foot, five-bedroom, eight-bathroom townhouse. While new construction does pop up in the area frequently, much of the architecture, particularly among single-family homes, utilizes the same rustic detailing that the historic homes here are known for. Spanish Revival is the main style of single-family homes in Central Coral Gables; whether sprawled across a ranch-style home or stretched up a multifloored mansion, there are many arches, barrel-roof tiles and balconies. Of course, some midcentury modern gems are also in the area, giving the neighborhood some architectural variety from home to home. Prices for single-family properties range from the high $1 millions to just over $5 million. That said, these residences don't come on the market often in this community, and they sell fast.
The charm and elegance of Coral Gables homes make them nearly impossible to walk away from once inside.

Miracle Mile offers walkable dining, shopping and theater
"This is one of the top neighborhoods in the Miami area," says Trent Alvarado, a local Realtor with Keller Williams Elite. "It's great for families, but it's home to a mixed crowd; people of all ages live here. There are plenty of parks nearby. Everything is within walking distance, even the Miracle Mile." Entertainment on the north side of Coral Gables often boils down to two words: Miracle Mile. This premier destination for shopping, dining and more can be found downtown on main road Coral Way. Catch a performance at the Actor's Playhouse or sidle over to the Café at Books & Books. This well-loved bookstore has been a city fixture since the ‘80s, selling books, knick-knacks, delicious food and coffee. Across the block, there's also Tap 42 Craft Kitchen & Bar. Diners want to visit this gastropub early on the weekend for their wildly popular bottomless brunch, including items like Tres Leches French Toast and cocktails, such as the "Don't Be a Prick" Margarita, containing prickly pear, Cazadores Blanco, basil syrup and fresh lime with a basil-salt half-rim.
Tap 42 serves freshly made dishes from the classic Chicken & Waffles to a more exotic Mahi Mahi Poke Salad.
