Wide canals, mature landscape, and an unusually finite market

Gables Estates was developed in the early 1960s by Arthur Vining Davis and encompasses approximately 192 lots across more than 200 acres of Coral Gables shoreline. Its scale, mature canopy, guarded entry, and navigable waterways have made it a reference point for estate living in South Florida.

Club membership is a prerequisite to purchasing, and the community maintains its own covenants and rules in addition to City of Coral Gables requirements. Because estate values are highly sensitive to lot size, canal geometry, turning basin access, and the quality of improvements, close property-level comparison is essential.
