Known for its lush landscape and lavish homes, Coral Gables is a great location -- the amazing weather, the history, the architecture, and a major university -- the University of Miami is located here, so it's not as difficult as you might think to find affordable apartments (or luxury apartments, if you prefer). Set among the palm trees and stretched along the Atlantic Ocean, Coral Gables provides a coastal lifestyle in a tropical setting. It also offers a variety of cultural attractions like the Actor's Playhouse and the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden.
Coral Gables features a variety of festivals and events. It also features a vibrant arts scene, with a selection of art galleries and a gallery walk along Miracle Mile every first Monday. Situated just two miles south of Miami, Coral Gables is ideal for commuters -- especially with the Miami-Dade Transit providing train service into the city.
