Founded in the 1920's, "The City Beautiful" was a front runner as one of the first planned communities in the United States. Seventy years later, the city's residents still enjoy the Spanish Mediterranean architecture and Old World ambience which has been carefully preserved. Elegantly manicured golf courses, curving tree canopied boulevards, miles of weaving waterways and plaza, fountains and courtyards create impressive settings for elegant, distinctive residences.

The international business and financial climate of "The Gables" has attracted over fifty multinational corporations thus earning Coral Gables the distinction of having been cited as one of three global cities along with Paris and Honolulu.

Over 100 restaurants provide a selection of delectable dining experiences which give Coral Gables the reputation of being the gourmet capital of South Florida.

Strict zoning regulations and persistent attention to a master plan can be credited with the consistently healthy property values. While some smaller, more modest homes in the north part of Coral Gables are less expensive, the areas to the south and along Biscayne Bay boast multi-million dollar waterfront estates. Condominiums and apartments round out the Gables' housing picture with prices from $100,000 to $15 million dollars.
