A residential landscape shaped by acre-lot ranch homes and gardens

Pinecrest and Ponce-Davis form a broad inland luxury market southwest of Coral Gables. Pinecrest's acre-lot ranch-home legacy took shape in the 1950s and 1960s around a lush landscape that includes the historic Parrot Jungle site, now the 14-acre Pinecrest Gardens. Pinecrest is an incorporated village; Ponce-Davis is an unincorporated estate area identified by location and residential character rather than municipal boundaries.

The primary value drivers are land, street quality, privacy, tree canopy, construction quality, and proximity to schools and commuter routes. Without a uniform gated or waterfront framework, every property requires close attention to zoning, flood and drainage conditions, utilities, neighboring uses, and the standard of recent construction nearby.
