Central Corals
Old-Florida midcentury charm
"People really take a lot of pride in their homes here," Schlueb says. "Residents are constantly updating, improving and landscaping, and people are attracted to that. You drive through the area, and clients are like, 'Wow, this is a really pretty neighborhood.'" Central Corals is an HOA-free neighborhood. Most of the houses here date back to the 1960s and are midcentury charmers, but there is a smattering of Cape Cod and Colonial Revival styles as well. "Homes in this pocket were built very well; they're very solid," Schlueb says. "Generally, three bedrooms… Tons of pools." Prices range from $550,000 to $1.3 million. The closer to the water, the more expensive. Condominiums and townhouses can be found on the community’s fringes. Prices for these multifamily homes start in the high $100,000s and can climb to the high $600,000 range. Homeowners in Central Corals can expect to pay less for flood insurance than their northern and southern neighbors, thanks mainly to its elevation. Schlueb says the neighborhood is in what she calls the “yellow zone” of the 500-year floodplain.
