Tropical University of Miami Beach Coast Art Culture Festivals Events

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. To live near University Station, look for apartments along Ponce De Leon Boulevard and South Dixie Highway, across from the university's Watsco Center.

Watch for the Hurricanes -- the Miami Hurricanes, that is! Sports are huge in Miami, and with the university in your backyard, cheering on the Hurricanes is almost a prerequisite. Catch the Metrorail into the city to watch the Miami Heat play at American Airlines Arena, as well.
