Living in Coral Gables offers the perfect balance for those who want to be close to the vibrant heart of Miami.

3 Reasons to Live in Coral Gables

| An illustrious history

In the 1920s, George Edgar Merrick developed 3,000 acres in Miami creating Coral Gables with an emphasis on Spanish Revival architecture. The city's history unfolds at the Coral Gables Museum. The Venetian Pool, listed as a National Historic Landmark since 1923, is an oasis of Venetian inspiration. Merrick notably donated land and $5 million for the creation of the University of Miami. It thus contributes to the rich history, architecture and academic reputation of Coral Gables.

| Magnificent architecture

George Merrick envisioned Coral Gables with Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial-style homes: stucco walls, terracotta tile roofs, and lush landscaping. Many of these homes, like those in the Country Club section, reflect the design of the iconic Biltmore Hotel.

In response to criticism regarding uniformity, Merrick introduced villages with international design elements. The Italian Village, for example, replicates Italian farmhouses, while the French Village boasts chateau-style houses. Other villages include Dutch South African with its colonial farms and Chinese Village with its pagoda-shaped roofs and brightly colored walls. George Merrick's innovative approach transformed Coral Gables into a diverse and architecturally rich community.

| Beautiful outdoor spaces

Merrick has seamlessly integrated nature into Coral Gables. He strategically placed parks near shopping centers, reserving the waterfront for luxury homes and preserving large tracts of land for golf courses.

Merrick Park, adjacent to the Miracle Mile, stands out as a 30-acre oasis. It offers a serene retreat with landscaped gardens and shaded areas. For a coastal getaway, Matheson Hammock Park on Biscayne Bay offers a man-made atoll pool and winding trails for bird watching.

Nature lovers can explore the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, which spans more than 80 acres and features rare plants from around the world. Themed biomes, including a rainforest zone and butterfly garden, provide a captivating lesson in horticulture and botany in the heart of Coral Gables.

Immerse yourself in the timeless allure of Coral Gables, where the fusion of nature and masterful planning creates a haven for those seeking a sophisticated and vibrant South Florida lifestyle.
