About Coral Gables

Coral Gables is an independently incorporated city within Miami-Dade County, known as "The City Beautiful" for its Mediterranean Revival architecture, tree-lined boulevards, and strict zoning standards. Founded in the 1920s by developer George Merrick, Coral Gables features the iconic Biltmore Hotel, the Venetian Pool (a historic public swimming pool carved from coral rock), and Miracle Mile—the city's main shopping and dining district. The University of Miami's main campus is located here, contributing to the city's cultural and intellectual life. Coral Gables real estate includes historic estates, gated communities, and luxury condominiums, with home prices among the highest in South Florida. The city's excellent schools, safe streets, and refined atmosphere attract affluent families and professionals.
