South Alhambra Cir, Coral Gables

This winding street parallels a beautiful canal. Living nearby, I have not only had the chance of driving alongside these lovely homes, but I have also boated and rowed alongside them. The canal is really wonderful and adds a significant organic dimension to the life of the house.

As is usual in Coral Gables, the houses are well designed and interesting. They are moderately large (although some parts of the street are more modestly sized than others) and somewhat expensive. The living experience is worth it if you can afford it though - there is little nicer than the centrally located Coral Gables in Miami and Alhambra Circle is one of those streets.

Alhambra is a road following a salt water canal, each house has its own dock. Lush gardens, trees and flowers everywhere, big and small houses enjoy the tropical airs alike. It's near a grocery story and near South Miami, a commercial area with charming shops and restaurants as well as an open mall.
