Nearby, even more, shopping awaits at the popular Shops at Merrick Park. Coral Gables’ downtown is also a busy financial hub, with many international corporations headquartered here, adding cultural diversity to the neighborhood’s fascinating mix of “old meets new.” There’s an eclectic mix of real estate options in Coral Gables, too.
