Presidential roads all checking in

Covering just five roads named after U.S. Presidents—Washington, Lincoln, Grant, Madison and Jefferson—Golden Gate is a quiet little neighborhood nestled right next to U.S. Route 1 in the city of Coral Gables. Residents enjoy a mostly peaceful lifestyle on these five roads, and often reach out to each other. “We all are on this WhatsApp chat and constantly checking in,” says Nick Schwaery, a resident of Golden Gate who has lived there for 10 years. “It’s a good group of people.” Thick foliage covers the small area, helping the neighborhood feel more secluded in the middle of the busy roads surrounding it. “It’s a unique location because we’re right next to U.S. 1 and can get to everything,” says Schwaery. “And yet we’re nestled into a nice little quiet neighborhood.”

The residential streets of Golden Gate are transited lightly except during school hours.

Ranch and ranch-style with two modern designs

Along these neighborhood roadways, potential homebuyers will find classic Florida ranch-style homes sharing a block with two two-story homes with unique modern designs. “Things don’t really come onto the market often,” says Schwaery. “I’m glad I bought when I did.” Home prices have increased dramatically, and homes in the neighborhood generally start around $611,000 and can reach $1.28 million. Many residents are also renovating their homes, some putting in backyard pools. Homes tend to be quite close together, with a few pastel-colors dotting the streets. Orange cones are sometimes scattered through the area, working to combat the morning and afternoon presence of school drop-offs.

Santa visits and farmers market

Golden Gate has a few small neighborhood events throughout the year, such as Halloween parades and Santa visits. “We’re right next door to a fire training facility, so the firetrucks will come around and be dressed up as Santa,” says Schwaery. “There are a lot of kid-friendly activities.” Coral Gables also has several city-wide events, such as the Farmers Market at Merrick Park with locally sourced produce and children activities.

The Coconut Grove Farmers Market is held every Saturday with an array of vendors to choose from.

Important to Know

Due to being next door to George Washington Carver Middle school, traffic in the morning around 8 a.m. and in the afternoon around 3 p.m. can get quite backed up throughout the neighborhood, often making it feel like life has come to a complete halt as cars can block driveways.
