3 Different Types of Waterfront Homes Available In Coral Gables
August 11th, 2010 Categories:Coral Gables Waterfront Homes
When you hear the word ”waterfront” the first thing that most people think of are sweeping views of Biscayne Bay. But in fact, Coral Gables offers three different types of waterfront homes: Bay Front, Canal Front and Lagoon Front. Surprisingly of the 35 waterfront homes that have closed this year only 5 had views of Biscayne Bay.
Coral Gables – Bay Front Homes
Aside from the homes located on North/South Prospect, East Sunrise Avenue and Sunrise Drive, most of the bay view properties in Coral Gables are located in gated communities such as Cocoplum and Gables Estates. To view a list of homes that have views of Biscayne Bay, please click here.
Coral Gables – Canal Front Homes
The canal front homes can be further divided into those that have ocean access, those that have bridges to the bay, and those that have no ocean access (all of which will certainly affect the value). To view a list of canal front homes in Coral Gables, please click here.
See the map below which shows a portion of Gables canals.
Coral Gables – Lake Front Homes
There are many communities in Coral Gables that have lakes and lagoons offering homeowners beautiful views and a serene setting. Such lakes are located in Journey’s End, Hammock Lakes and Snapper Creek Lakes. To view a list of Coral Gables lake homes for sale, click here.

Cocoplum’s Waterways – Mangrove Trees and Manatees
June 1st, 2010 Categories:Coral Gables Waterfront Homes
Over the Memorial Day weekend I took some friends out on the boat for some swimming and sightseeing. Being a realtor, one of my favorite things to do is to tour the Coral Gables waterways and see the homes from a different perspective. Yesterday we decided to hit the ”back-country” of Cocoplum. While the homes on Tahiti Beach have direct Bay views and are obviously more prestigious, the homes that are located on the canals have a serenity and peacefulness about them that is hard to find in Miami. These homes offer views of the lush mangrove trees, a bit of Florida wildlife, and the serene waters you see in the photo above. Although we didn’t happen to see any this trip, it is not uncommon to see the whiskers of a manatee poking his head up for a breath of fresh air, or a great Egret perched in one of the mangroves.

Wednesdays are great because brokers across South Florida hold their listings open for other agents. It is a great opportunity for me to preview homes for my current buyers. After visiting roughly 10 Broker’s Open houses yesterday the shining star was the house located at 5850 Riviera Drive. This is a great waterfront home for a great price. The house features 5 bedrooms and 6 baths with 5,646 square feet of living space on an 18,750 square foot lot. The home has 2 boat slips (100 feet of water frontage), 2 car carport, 2 car garage and large living and entertaining spaces. The owner of the home is an artist and has done some great things to it, I agree with the listing agent, the house has great karma! Priced at $2,550,000, the home was recently reduced from $2,650,000. Broker is EWM.
