About this city
Also known as: The City Beautiful
Coral Gables is an elegant, meticulously planned city located in Miami-Dade County, Florida, situated southwest of downtown Miami. Developed in the 1920s by George Merrick during the Florida land boom, it is globally celebrated as one of the nation's first major planned communities, built entirely in the Mediterranean Revival architectural style. The city's geography is defined by its grand banyan-shaded avenues, monumental stone gateways, winding waterways, and strict zoning laws that preserve its cohesive, historic aesthetic. Home to the prestigious University of Miami, Coral Gables functions as both a sophisticated residential enclave and a vibrant international business hub, containing numerous foreign consulates and multinational corporate headquarters.
