Coral Gables
The City Beautiful — and it is still enforced
George Merrick planned Coral Gables in the 1920s as a Mediterranean Revival city, and the architectural review board has been protecting that idea ever since. Banyan-shaded streets, coral rock walls, the Biltmore, the Venetian Pool, and Miracle Mile all sit inside a few square miles. Buying here means buying into rules — and the rules are exactly why it looks the way it does.
Who it suits
Buyers at a higher price point who want architecture, canopy, and a city that will not let the block change around them.
What defines it
- Mediterranean Revival architecture, protected
- Miracle Mile and Giralda
- The Biltmore and the Venetian Pool
- University of Miami
