Presidential roads all checking in
Covering just five roads named after U.S. Presidents—Washington, Lincoln, Grant, Madison and Jefferson—Golden Gate is a quiet little neighborhood nestled right next to U.S. Route 1 in the city of Coral Gables. Residents enjoy a mostly peaceful lifestyle on these five roads, and often reach out to each other. “We all are on this WhatsApp chat and constantly checking in,” says Nick Schwaery, a resident of Golden Gate who has lived there for 10 years. “It’s a good group of people.” Thick foliage covers the small area, helping the neighborhood feel more secluded in the middle of the busy roads surrounding it. “It’s a unique location because we’re right next to U.S. 1 and can get to everything,” says Schwaery. “And yet we’re nestled into a nice little quiet neighborhood.”
The residential streets of Golden Gate are transited lightly except during school hours.
Residents can access Golden Gate via US1 and easily get to necessities.

Ranch and ranch-style with two modern designs
Along these neighborhood roadways, potential homebuyers will find classic Florida ranch-style homes sharing a block with two two-story homes with unique modern designs. “Things don’t really come onto the market often,” says Schwaery. “I’m glad I bought when I did.” Home prices have increased dramatically, and homes in the neighborhood generally start around $611,000 and can reach $1.28 million. Many residents are also renovating their homes, some putting in backyard pools. Homes tend to be quite close together, with a few pastel-colors dotting the streets. Orange cones are sometimes scattered through the area, working to combat the morning and afternoon presence of school drop-offs.
Modern and recently renovated homes can be found in Golden Gate.

Important to Know

Golden Gate can suffer from heavy traffic during school hours.
