The City Beautiful

The Biltmore and Coral Gables Living

Hello June—and welcome to World Cup season! Excitement is building across Miami as our city takes center stage as a host of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with seven matches scheduled at Hard Rock Stadium, including group-stage games, a Round of 32 match, a quarterfinal, and the Bronze Final. This month, we spotlight Coral Gables, “The City Beautiful,” and one of its most iconic landmarks: The Biltmore Hotel. Opened in 1926 as the crown jewel of George Merrick’s vision for Coral Gables, the historic Biltmore is renowned for its Mediterranean architecture, majestic 315-foot tower inspired by Seville’s Giralda, lush grounds, and rich history as a Jazz Age destination, military hospital, and luxury resort. Today, it remains a symbol of elegance and sophistication, offering timeless charm, modern amenities, and the legendary Biltmore Golf Course, an 18-hole championship course.

And incase you didn't know the historic spring-fed Venetian Pool in Coral Gables completed an extensive renovation and is ready for swimmers. Enjoy cooling off here this Summer!

Are property values up or down? Take a detailed look at 34 markets in the Miami area

By Catherine Odom and Douglas Hanks

A comprehensive analysis published by the Miami Herald reports that even as the broader South Florida real estate market cools, South Miami remains an outlier with property values jumping 9.1%.

Miami’s real estate market has been cooling in recent years, following record highs during the pandemic. And that trend appears to be continuing, according to new numbers from the county property appraiser. The annual report released on Monday shows a 5.5% increase in countywide values over 2025 amounts — modest growth at a rate that brought bad news to Miami-Dade’s budget staff, which had forecast growth of 7% this year. Property values rose by 8.5% last year and 10.7% the year before.
