Could it be your next home?

Nicknamed “The City Beautiful,” Coral Gables is an early example of a planned community incorporated in 1925. Its homes feature Mediterranean revival-style architecture, and the city was carefully laid out around a main thoroughfare and with green space that was designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, who also designed New York City’s Central Park.

Coral Gables is located just southwest of Miami. It’s home to the University of Miami and the headquarters of businesses like Fresh Del Monte Product and Bacardi USA.

The affluent community is also home to a number of celebrities. Some who have reportedly purchased homes there include Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez, Timbaland and Pharrell.

Many homes in the city are on the National Register of Historic Places, and its Biltmore Hotel is a National Historic Landmark.

The average sale price in Coral Gables hit a high of more than $1.1 million last September, according to ONE Sotheby’s International Realty. And as of last month, homes were spending an average of fewer than 100 days on the market. The number of active listings is down from nearly 200 from January 2020 to January 2021.
