Historic planned community inspired by Mediterranean architecture, landscaping

A historic coral rock arch marks the beginning of Granada, one of the city of Coral Gables’ first neighborhoods. Beyond the arch sit Spanish Revival-style villas donning roofs made with thick terracotta tiles and facades covered in vibrant stucco. Yards are filled with lush tropical greenery, and stately palm and banyan trees arch over narrow streets. When George E. Merrick began developing the city in the 1920s, his vision was to create a place that felt like it belonged along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Granada is a prime example of how that vision was achieved. And because the city followed the “City Beautiful Movement,” a style of urban planning that emphasizes aesthetically beautiful landscaping and architecture, and it adopted strict zoning laws, which have helped it maintain its original character.

Lush gardens, covered walkways at J. Fritz and Frances Gordon Park

The neighborhood is home to several popular outdoor spaces, including J. Fritz and Frances Gordon Park, designed in the 1920s by renowned landscape architect Donald Ross. Its lush gardens, rustic fountain plaza and stone and wood-covered walkway surround the historic Biltmore Hotel, giving visitors the allusion of walking through a palace garden in the south of Spain. Another large outdoor space with historic elements is Graceland Memorial Park North, a 14-acre cemetery with two memorial gardens and an art-deco mausoleum built in the 1930s. Smaller parks in the community include Lisbon and Venetia parks, where grassy knolls are wrapped by walking paths and dotted with native trees. Less than 1 mile outside the neighborhood is Granada Golf Course, the oldest nine-hole course in Florida, which opened in 1923. It’s a public course owned and operated by the city of Coral Gables. And popular beaches, like Miami Beach, are within reach, sitting about 12 miles away.

Luxury Mediterranean-style homes

Granada is full of bungalows with wide front porches and Mediterranean-style, or more specific to this area, “Old-Spanish-style,” homes donning red clay-tiled roofs and colorful stucco facades. They often sit on generous lots brimming with tropical plants and mature palm trees. Many backyards feature designed back patios and in-ground pools. Homes here are priced above the Miami-Dade County average of $610,000, with mid-sized two- to three-bedroom properties selling for between $632,000 and $1 million and Mediterranean and custom contemporary estates with up to six bedrooms selling between $1 million and $4 million. According to Mike DeVito, a Realtor of 19 years currently working for Re/Max United, the “average house is selling in about 60 days.” He adds that the inventory in the neighborhood is currently low but trending upward. “We have about five months of inventory, but I’d like to see six or 10 months.”

Carnival on the Mile celebrates the best of Miami

The city’s flagship annual event is the Carnival on the Mile, a weekend-long street festival that spans the length of the Miracle Mile. More than 150,000 people come out each year to enjoy music, art and food from local artisans and restaurants. “During the Carnival on the Mile, Morton’s bring their grill out there, and they make the best burger I’ve ever had in my life,” says DeVito, a lifelong Coral Gables resident who has attended the festival countless times. “I have a great time there year after year. You get exposed to great music, great food, and great art.” Another popular event is the Fourth of July Fireworks Celebration at the Biltmore Hotel. It’s often called one of the state’s best July 4th fireworks shows, drawing in an estimated 25,000 attendees, annually.
