Coral Gables, FL

Coral Gables is South Florida's original planned city: Mediterranean Revival architecture, coral-rock entryways, and tree-lined boulevards laid out almost a century ago. It is beauty, planning, and structure in one address.

What Coral Gables really is.

Coral Gables was founded in the 1920s by developer George Merrick, who built a planned city of Mediterranean Revival homes, themed villages, and strict, beautiful design standards. The Biltmore Hotel, the Venetian Pool, and the historic estates anchor a city that has kept its promise for a century.

Living here means living inside a design: arches and gates, mature banyans, and the quiet dignity of a municipality that treats its streets as an asset. It is one of the most identifiable addresses in Miami-Dade, and the price tag reflects it.

The trade is simple: beauty, planning, and stability carry a premium, and the homes, even the smaller ones, sit inside a backdrop that never goes out of style.
