Prices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Coral Gables is not cheap. Condos and townhouses start around $650,000, while a renovated three- or four-bedroom house typically costs between $1.8 and $4 million. Waterfront estates in Gables Estates and Cocoplum regularly trade for $10 million to more than $30 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Buyers come for the architecture and stay for the schools and the shade. Almost every street has a canopy of oaks or banyans, and in August that really matters.<\/p>\nIsabella Mar\u00edn, Founding Broker<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Daily life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Miracle Mile and Giralda Plaza are the heart of the city, with restaurants, caf\u00e9s and independent shops. The Venetian Pool \u2014 a 1920s swimming pool carved from a coral-rock quarry \u2014 is a local treasure, and the Biltmore Hotel\u2019s golf course and Sunday brunch are institutions. The free Gables trolley connects downtown to the Douglas Road Metrorail station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Schools<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Coral Gables has several highly rated public schools and some of Miami\u2019s best-known private schools. School boundaries matter here, so check them carefully before you make an offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What to watch out for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Permits:<\/strong> renovations take longer than elsewhere in Miami. Budget time for design review.<\/li>\n\n\n
- Older homes:<\/strong> 1920s houses can need new plumbing, electrical and roofs. Get a thorough inspection.<\/li>\n\n\n
- Flood zones:<\/strong> properties near the waterways and in the southern part of the city may require flood insurance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
A weekend in the Gables<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The best way to understand Coral Gables is to spend a Saturday there. Start with coffee and pastries on Giralda Plaza, where the street is closed to cars and tables spill into the road. Walk Miracle Mile to the Coral Gables Museum, then drive the loop of Granada Boulevard and Alhambra Circle past the golf course and some of the city\u2019s finest 1920s homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the afternoon, swim at the Venetian Pool, with its grottoes and waterfalls, or tour the Biltmore Hotel and its famous tower. Finish with dinner in the restaurant row around Ponce de Leon Boulevard. By the end of the day you will know whether the Gables\u2019 calm, leafy rhythm is right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commuting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Most of the Gables is fifteen to twenty minutes from Brickell and the airport outside rush hour. The Metrorail serves the eastern edge of the city, and the free trolley covers the central business district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who it suits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Families, professionals who work at UM or in the Gables\u2019 office district, and anyone who values architecture, greenery and a strong sense of community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
