Coral Gables Apartments For Rent

Overview of Coral Gables

A vibrant and diverse city just outside of Miami, Coral Gables is widely known for its pristine beaches, fine dining, and pedestrian-friendly commercial districts. Designed by George E. Merrick, Coral Gables was one of the first planned communities built during the Florida land boom of the 1920s. And while current-day Coral Gables differs from its humble origins, a lot of those original principles remain the same. The neighborhood is largely a peaceful, residential community that features walkable areas like the Miracle Mile shopping district. Residents of Coral Gables love the beautiful Spanish architecture and open, inviting atmosphere of the city.

The area is also home to the University of Miami, and we mention this separately because the students and university area are considered by locals to be separate from the neighborhood itself. Geographically, the university falls within the boundaries of Coral Gables, but living in Coral Gables and attending the university are two very different things. Luckily, no matter what you're looking for, we have Coral Gables apartments that will suite your needs. Let's move on to talking about the rental market, shall we?
