Situated south of Florida, the beautiful and culturally diverse Coral Gables is located. The city of Coral Gables stands apart from other larger cities, made possible by its founder George Edgar Merrick’s remarkable eclectic vision and insightful quest for the perfect community. Coral Gables, inspired by classic architectural structures conscientiously incorporated into the natural beauty of South Florida, has retained and still reflects the Mediterranean style and elegance envisioned by its founder and boasts luxurious homes, lush gardens, stunning parks, and outstanding recreational facilities.

A vibrant commercial and business district is home to hundreds of international companies and quality traders. From Ponce de Leon Boulevard and Miracle Mile to the Village of Merrick Park, there is an astonishing array of unique shops, goods and services, accessed by free and easy Coral Gable Trolley, or by Metro Transit. Coral Gables offers a high concentration of informal sidewalk cafes, coffee houses and bistro, and upscale gourmet restaurants in the pedestrian friendly town center.
