San Antonio Ave, Coral Gables

I lived on this street for 16 years. The neighborhood has a great balance of people living in it - young couples with children, older couples with adult children, retirees, artists, professionals, everybody. The Coral Gables area tends to be pricey, but it is well worth it. Neighbors are very friendly and the street is surprisingly quiet for being so close to Bird Road! With the Shops at Merrick Place just a few blocks away, the high school down the street, and access to so many roads (the neighborhood is essentially squared in by Granada, Riviera, Bird, and Blue) it only takes 20 minutes to get to the beach, the airport, downtown, or the turnpike. Also, with Doctors Hospital so close, the longest we ever had to wait for an ambulance was roughly 3-4 minutes. Police circle the area periodically to make sure everything is fine. I can't say it enough - this is a wonderful place to live!
