Coral Gables Real Estate

Once merely a vision, a luxury community is alive today in Coral Gables Real Estate

From strategic development in the 1920's to a bustling community today, the story of Coral Gables homes, historic landmarks and fine dining is that of a dream come true.

Coral Gables is one of South Florida's oldest and most sought after communities.

Popularly known as 'The Gables' the city was developed by George Merrick in the 1920's and is today all that he dreamed of and more, especially when it comes to Coral Gables real estate.

Merrick dreamed of creating a small community close to the rapidly expanding City of Miami. He envisioned a magnificent hotel, a great university, a grand City Hall, a Venetian pool, magnificent country clubs and golf courses, forty miles of waterways, majestic canopied streets and of course, spectacular Coral Gables homes. To further cement the community's appeal and

vitality, he designed its downtown commercial district to be only four blocks wide and more than two miles long. In 1925 the city gained perhaps its largest claim to fame when it was selected as the home of the University of Miami.

Merrick's dream has become a wonderful reality, and just like the 1920's when people flocked from all over the globe to become a part of this vibrant community, Coral Gables real estate is still a hot commodity. Today, Coral Gables is referred to as 'The City Beautiful' because of its plush landscapes and famous Mediterranean revival architecture. It is a pedestrian friendly city and many Coral Gables homes are strategically sited within walking distance to its central district. The city even boasts a free trolley system, initiated in November 2003, which runs down Ponce de Leon Boulevard.

Coral Gables real estate is popular with people in all stages of life from college students to professionals to expanding families to retired individuals. With over 140 dining options, retail boutiques, art galleries and a variety of regular city activities it's no wonder that Coral Gables homes are desired residences.
