The Coral Gables aesthetic meets Miami fun in Flagler

The southern Florida community of Flager sits on the northern edge of Coral Gables, offering residents the appeal of garden-like charm with the convenience of a metropolitan city. This little urban pocket is alive with tropical greenery, from landscaped medians shaded by flowering Royal Poincianas to a variety of fruit trees in folks’ yards. It centers around Ponce de Leon Boulevard, a straight shot to Downtown Gables, and is about 5 miles from Downtown Miami. Public transit runs through the neighborhood, several international restaurants and nightlife spots are within walking distance and major highways are minutes away.

Little Havana is only a few minutes away from Flagler for a quick people watching walk.

Homes rarely listed and often linger on the market in Flagler

Houses don’t come on the market often in Flagler, but when they do, they tend to sit on the market for well over 100 days. With a median price of $775,000, the neighborhood is pricier than surrounding Miami areas like Flagami, Little Havana and West Flagler, but less expensive than Coral Gables communities, such as Granada, Country Club Section, Downtown Gables and many other Coral Gables communities. Renters and homeowners live side by side, with just over half the population owning their houses. Many properties are HOA-free. The neighborhood is a prime example of South Florida architecture, featuring mid-20th-century, Spanish Revival-style cottages and ranch-style homes. Earthy stucco siding, terracotta barrel roof tiles, recessed stoops and quaint porches are common. Cars sit parked in driveways and along sidewalk-lined streets.

Despite being inland, Flagler is a community where homebuyers may need flood insurance for a federally backed mortgage. “[The Miami Area] is very spotty with flooding,” says Miami native Roy Arias , a Realtor with Kerdyk Real Estate. “On a FEMA map, one side of a street will be in a flood zone while the other side isn’t – it can be like that on every other block sometimes.” South Florida’s hurricane season ranges from early June to late November.

Good eats and grocery stores on the neighborhood’s outskirts

Flagler Street and U.S. Route 41, locally known as the Tamiami Trail, are two main roads on either end of Flagler. Publix is within walking distance on Flagler Street, opposite CVS, Dollar Tree and Sedano’s. "The biggest thing is the food,” says local Arleen Davis-Slagle, a Realtor with Realty Home Advisors International. “The restaurants are absolutely to die for.” The latter actually abuts Carnicero Steakhouse, an upscale spot with a casual vibe. Its menu blends Spanish and Latin American flavors, offering tapas, fresh raw bar items and premium grilled cuts. For takeout or late-night margaritas, Jacalito is a go-to, serving traditional Mexican fare. Moving south to the Tamiami Trail, you can find some great Cuban food at La Casita, La Carreta and Versailles Restaurant, which has been a mainstay in the local Cuban community since 1971.

The City Beautiful’s future plans for parks around Flagler

Rotary Centennial Park is a family-friendly hangout on the south side. On one end, it has a fenced-in playground hedged by mature greenery, providing plenty of natural shade. On the other side, there’s a grassy sitting area, surrounded by more vibrant South Florida plantings.
Coral Gables’s recreation department is awaiting funding from the Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program to update the neighborhood park’s amenities, but it’s open for play dates, picnics and general enjoyment in the meantime. About a mile away, Phillips Park is currently closed for renovations, with a reopening scheduled for 2026. The park will feature a brand-new synthetic turf field, modernized playground and revamped tennis and basketball courts.
