Neighborhood Guide
Built in the 1920s by George Merrick, Coral Gables was one of the nation’s first planned communities. Known today for its pedestrian-friendly town center and Mediterranean Revival style, it has maintained its status as one of Miami’s most desirable neighborhoods for nearly a century.
Strict zoning and building guidelines allow the city to maintain its historic charm while providing residents with modern leisure and dining options. Apart from the commercial center of Miracle Mile, the city is home to the upscale Village of Merrick Park, featuring anchors like Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom.
Nature lovers have easy access to the Fairchild Botanic Garden and Matheson Hammock County Park. With top-tier schools and the University of Miami, the city remains a premier choice for families seeking stability and style, all within five miles of the international airport.
