Coral Gables has longtime been pursued as a top neighborhood to live in due to its unrivaled Mediterranean Revival architecture inspired by George Merrick of Coral Gables. Enamored by this illustrious design style that was carried throughout Villa Viscaya, Merrick was determined to incorporate similar European influences across the community. Together, with help from a trailblazing team of designers and architects, Denman Fink, H. George Fink, Phineas Paist and Frank Button, Merrick set the pace for a modern interpretation of the Mediterranean coastline featuring elements of “The City Beautiful” Movement which encouraged tree-lined winding streets and palatial fountains and plazas. By 1925, Coral Gables manifested a real estate boom, including seven million dollars of properties sold, more than six hundred homes constructed, sixty-five miles of roadways built, eighty miles of sidewalks added and the structure of the legendary Biltmore Hotel.

Today, Coral Gables offers an abundance of real estate options, including single family homes, townhomes, ivy-covered estates, and modern contemporary condominiums. There is something for every type of buyer with average prices ranging from $500,000 to $55,000,000.
