Palm-lined sidewalks connect Douglas to Coral Gables’s cultural hub

On the north side of Coral Gables, Douglas has condominium complexes and mixed-use pedestal towers, many concentrated along Ponce de Leon Boulevard, where local businesses occupy ground-level storefronts – everything from law and doctors’ offices to banks and cafés. The neighborhood supports multiple of the city’s international consulates, including those of Peru, Guatemala, Belize and Monaco. Its sidewalks are lined with palm trees, offering spots of shade on walks to the Miracle Mile – a buzzing downtown stretch, home to the Coral Gables’s largest concentration of galleries, museums and restaurants.

Douglas is a community in northern Coral Gables, within walking distance of Downtown Gables and the Miracle Mile.

Calle Ocho and Downtown Coral Gables are within walking distance

Small shops and cafés, including the Cuban coffeehouse Tinta Y Café, dot the neighborhood, and Publix is on Douglas Road. More shopping and dining options are either in @Downtown Gables or on Southwest Eighth Street, better known as “Calle Ocho.” Cuban cuisine is Calle Ocho's highlight. Versailles Restaurant opened in 1971 and has expanded to include a Cuban bakery. Other favorites, like Original Uncle Toms Barbecue, have served the community since the 1940s. Downtown, the walkable Miracle Mile corridor is known for its bridal boutiques, theaters, restaurants and bars, making it an active spot day and night. “Residents can walk downtown every morning and get their coffee or shop or do anything they want to do,” says Coral Gables native Ginger Jochem, associate broker of Slesnick & Associates. Casual chains like Panera are just as popular as local spots like John Martin’s Irish Pub & Restaurant, and big-box shopping, from Target to Burlington, is just down Coral Way.

Condos range from renovated Spanish Revivals to luxury high-rises

Price-wise, Douglas is an entry point for Coral Gables living. The median price here, $500,000, is almost a third of the city’s. Condos range from just under $200,000 to the mid-$800,0000s. Older buildings tend to house less expensive units, with some of the cheapest being in converted 1920s Spanish Revivals, complete with classic stucco siding, exposed rafters tails and terracotta barrel roof tiles. Modern high-rises, such as Puerta de Palmas, have some of the most expensive properties, offering sweeping skyline views of downtown. Penthouse units and two-story townhouses – rare on the market – can sell between the mid $900,000s and roughly $1 million.

Homeowners pay regular fees to their respective HOAs, covering trash removal, water and sewer services, shared space maintenance, security and more. They might also pay for flood insurance. Folks buying in a building within a special flood zone need flood insurance to qualify for a federally backed mortgage. Hurricane season runs from June to November.

Pet owners are welcome in Douglas

Plenty of pet-friendly spots are in and around Douglas. Local restaurants like Sawa Restaurant & Lounge and Sergio’s welcome dogs on their patios — some even have special pup menus — so furry friends can dine out, too. Pet supply stores, grooming services and veterinary care are all close by. Phillips Park is the neighborhood green space, but while it’s closed for renovations, pet owners can put their pup in the car and head to Salvadore Park, which opened its off-leash dog run in 2023. The park, about 2 miles away, is also popular for its tennis center and zip lines. Douglas is also about 2 miles from the historic Venetian Pool, a Coral Gables destination that was initially built in a 1920s casino. The spring-fed oasis annually hosts “Paws in the Pool,” letting dogs splash around before the season’s end. It’s split into two sessions for big and little dogs.
