Downtown Gables blends Miracle Mile culture with historic charm
Home to trendy eateries, businesses and entertainment options, Downtown Gables also comprises single and multifamily homes ideal for central city living. A walk or bike ride through Downtown Gables and surrounding communities displays very clearly that Coral Gables, also known as the City Beautiful or, simply, the Gables, is a well-loved area with quite a few things going for it. Developed in the 1920s by George Merrick, this city echoes its past through historic Spanish Revival architecture and mature, hundred-year-old oaks and palm trees that shade suburban streets. "People are always walking around outside, and many feel safe doing that at any hour," says Trent Alvarado. "And downtown, you have the Miracle Mile, a block of family-friendly entertainment." All the Miracle Miles' attractions and hubs, including museums, theaters, playhouses, bookstores, bars and restaurants, are highly accessible for downtown residents, even those living on the south fringes where lush suburbs meet the city.
Downtown Gables’ Miracle Mile is historic corridor shaped by merchants, leaders, and generations of local pride.
With its lush streetscapes and cultural vibrancy, Downtown Gables offers a curated lifestyle in the heart of South Florida.

Ranch-style and Spanish Revival homes line leafy southern streets
Single-family, HOA-free, ranch-style properties hug the southern edges of Downtown Gables, salient with old Florida charm. Many of these lots are shrouded in tropical greenery, and if the young palm trees staked by the sidewalks are evidence enough, more mature verdure is to come. "Neighborhoods in the Gables are beautiful," says Lindsey Brown, a local Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM Realty. "The area is known for its architecture. It has a lot of really beautiful old Spanish, Mediterranean homes, which recently many people have refurbished. This architecture is a big part of the community, and it gives it some nice character." Spanish eclectic and Revival architecture run as rampant in Downtown Gables as they do throughout the rest of the city, especially since many of these homes date back to the 1950s. Single-family properties here come onto the market infrequently, but you can expect to pay at least $980,000 for a two-bedroom, two-bathroom, 1,300-square-foot residence; a third bedroom or more square footage can knock the price up to around $1.3 million. Multifamily properties, typically condos, stretch from the heart of Downtown Gables to the north side. These homes range in price from approximately $300,000 to $650,000. Do note that condo buildings and complexes usually utilize an HOA.
