Coral Gables Section mixes historic homes, local shops and outdoor fun

Coral Gables Section was developed in the 1920s as part of the "City Beautiful" movement that was sweeping across the United States, and that vision still defines the neighborhood today. Canopies of mature banyan trees shade streets lined with Mediterranean Revival homes, creating an Old-World atmosphere reinforced by historic fountains and limestone street signs. Popular shops, boutiques and restaurants are close by in the walkable Miracle Mile commercial district. The scenic Venetian Pool and the public Granada Golf Course offer plenty of outdoor activity in the neighborhood, and major thoroughfares like Southwest Eighth Street and Coral Way provide access to Downtown Miami.

Tree-lined streets feature 20th-century Mediterranean-style homes

Single-family homes dominate the neighborhood, with Spanish and Mediterranean Revival houses sitting along tree-lined streets. "Many of these houses are from the 1920s," says Trent Alvarado, a local Realtor with Brokers International Realty with over five years of experience. "They're beautiful, and they have character. You drive by these houses and can't help but dream of living in one." Lots are often compact, but homes are spacious, averaging around 2,500 square feet, significantly larger than the national average of around 1,900. Boutique and high-rise condos are also common. Prices vary widely throughout the community. Here is a typical breakdown:

  • Single-family homes under 2,000 square feet range from the lower $700,000s to around $2 million.
  • Larger houses fall between around $1.4 million and $5.9 million.
  • Condos range from the lower $400,000s to around $1.3 million.

Pools, golf and tennis offer plenty of ways to get outside

The area has several parks and green spaces for outdoor activity. "People are out walking and biking all the time," Alvarado says. "You can go and jump into any activity; jump into golf, into tennis, into basketball, the gym, the pool." The public Granada Golf Course is a historic nine-hole course that has been a local favorite since 1923. While it's open to anyone, it also offers memberships that include priority booking and access to the Coral Gables Golf & Country Club, which has a pool, tennis courts and fitness center. Salvadore Park has public tennis courts available on Andalusia Avenue. When you need to cool off on a hot day, you can head to the historic Venetian Pool. This popular swimming destination is fed by spring water from an underground aquifer and has unique design elements like waterfalls and caves.
