Coral Gables

 

Tucked away in the heart of Miami’s hustle and bustle lies one of the city’s hidden gems. Coral Gables looks like a picturesque small town right out of a movie, with stunning mansions, a charming village and pristine gardens that will leave you in awe.

 

One of the first communities in Florida, this one-of-a-kind community offers residents the security and serenity of a small town right in the heart of Miami. The town itself offers numerous parks and green areas, high-quality schools and access to world-class shopping and dining opportunities, which has helped make this community one of the most desirable on the market. 

 

While Coral Gables is certainly one of the more quaint communities in Miami, it is also one of the most luxurious and historical, which has caught the attention of some of the most affluent families in Florida. With a median household income well over the national average, the neighborhood itself is exceptionally prestigious. Many upscale shops and restaurants are found throughout the community and with numerous outdoor areas to enjoy.

 

The homes found within Coral Gables are equally opulent, with many featuring Mediterranean Revival architecture. Homes tend to be on the larger side, with pristinely cared for gardens and landscaping. 

 

Coral Gables has become a culinary hotspot in Miami, serving as a home to numerous award-winning restaurants and gourmet eateries. The Biltmore Hotel alone offers guests six different dining experiences ranging from Italian-inspired cuisine to afternoon tea.

 

Fugato offers diners a fusion of Mediterranean cuisines, serving delectable dishes such as grilled octopus, gnocchi asiago and sugar-crusted salmon. Caffe Abbracci is a beloved Italian spot serving guests classics like caprese salad, veal scaloppine and eggplant rollatini.

 

Hillstone is another local favorite serving their spin on contemporary American cuisine with dishes such as Chicago-style spinach and artichoke dip, double-cut pork chops and a prime New York strip.

Coral Gables is just minutes away from Central Miami. However, there is more than enough to do within the neighborhood. Matheson Hammock Park is a beautiful scenic park that’s perfect for enjoying an afternoon stroll. It also features a one-of-a-kind man-made atoll pool which is naturally flushed with the tides.

 

If you’re looking for the perfect way to spend some time outdoors, then look no further than the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. This unique garden is truly an oasis in the middle of Miami, offering guests the opportunity to experience local nature in a new and exciting way.  

 

Of course, if you find yourself in Coral Gables, you absolutely must stop by Miracle Mile. Known as Coral Gables’ official downtown shopping district, these tree-lined streets are full of some of the classiest boutiques and shops around.

Coral Gables offers residents the best of both suburban and urban worlds and has become an ideal location for young professionals and families, alike. As a result, there are many highly-rated schools in the area. Some institutions worth noting include:

• Phillips Episcopal School, PK-5, exceptional faith-based elementary education
• Riviera Schools, PK-12, top-rated private school education at every level
• Gulliver Prep, K-12, co-ed private school ranked among the best in the country
