Mediterranean architecture and shaded streets define life in Granada

A grand archway welcomes you at the entrance to Granada, and leafy banyan and oak trees shade the streets as you drive through the neighborhood. This area was one of the earliest neighborhoods in Coral Gables, taking shape in the early 1920s as part of the "City Beautiful" movement. That influence still shows in the Mediterranean-inspired architecture, landscaped plazas and green spaces, which have been preserved thanks to strict zoning regulations. The Granada Golf Course, a nine-hole public course dating to 1923, anchors the neighborhood with open green space and shaded paths. Southwest Eighth Street and Miracle Mile are also nearby, offering an eclectic mix of shops and restaurants.

What home styles and prices look like in Granada

Granada predominantly features Mediterranean-style homes among its tree-lined streets. The median year built falls in the late 1940s, and many of those older homes have been updated or fully rebuilt while preserving original architectural details. Newer construction includes modern two-story residences with open floor plans, resort-style pools and high-end finishes. Prices vary widely depending on the size of the home. Houses under 2,000 square feet range from the upper $600,000s to around $1.5 million. Larger homes fall between $1 million and around $3 million.

Green spaces offer shade, scenery and relaxation

J. Fritz and Frances Gordon Park is a distinctive green space near one of the neighborhood's entrances. This park features a Mediterranean-inspired landscape with stone columns and leafy trees. It offers an intimate setting with lush greenery and Old-World charm rather than wide-open fields. Adjacent to the neighborhood, the public Granada Golf Course is the oldest operating nine-hole course in Florida, opening in 1923 as part of George Merrick's original plan for Coral Gables. Small pocket parks scattered throughout the neighborhood offer peaceful spots to sit beneath the shade of palms and live oaks.

Local festivals, fireworks and markets fill the calendar

Several events in the surrounding area bring year-round excitement. Food vendors, artists and live music fill Miracle Mile each March for the two-day Carnaval on the Mile. "Morton's brings their grill out there, and they make the best burger I've ever had in my life," says Mike DeVito, a real estate associate at Re/Max United with over 20 years of experience. "I have a great time there year after year. You get exposed to great music, great food, and great art." Just south of the neighborhood, the Biltmore Hotel hosts a Fourth of July celebration each year, featuring the Greater Miami Symphonic Band and fireworks. The Coral Gables Farmer Market takes place on Saturday mornings in front of City Hall.
