Coral Gables

Coral Gables is Miami's original luxury suburb and still its most elegant. Founded in the 1920s as the country's first planned community, it's the rare Miami neighborhood where architectural rules are real — Mediterranean Revival façades, tile roofs, and Spanish-style detailing aren't optional, they're zoning. The result is the most cohesive, most beautiful streetscape in the city.

The Gables' lifestyle revolves around Miracle Mile and the Village of Merrick Park — a walkable luxury retail and dining corridor that anchors the neighborhood — alongside the Biltmore Hotel, the University of Miami, and a network of parks and waterways that gives the area its "City Beautiful" nickname. Top public schools, a stable of private schools (Gulliver, Riviera, Ransom Everglades nearby), and a high concentration of professionals make this the dominant address for affluent Miami families.

The 50,000 residents skew older, educated, and established — the median age is 42 and the international buyer mix is heavy in Latin American and European wealth. Real estate here is the most consistent in Miami: single-family homes range from $1.2M starter properties to waterfront estates trading at $20M+; condos at the Gables Club, Merrick Manor, and the Plaza Coral Gables offer luxury without giving up the address.

For buyers who want Miami's deepest cultural and architectural roots, Coral Gables is the address that doesn't go out of style.
