Mediterranean-style home on Alhambra Circle in Coral Gables with classic Old Merrick architecture, red tile roof, and arched entryway

Alhambra Circle, Coral Gables: A Street That Doesn’t Try Too Hard

You won’t see Alhambra Circle on a billboard.
And that’s the point.

It’s not trying to impress. It never had to.
The trees were here before the price tags. The architecture was shaped before hashtags existed.

This isn’t a marketing headline — it’s a street. A real one. Built for walking slow. Built to last.


The Drive

Forty seconds. No narration. Just windshield, asphalt, and truth.
You drive it, and you get it.
There’s rhythm here — in the way the shadows fall, the way the road curves, the way the homes sit like they belong.


Where You Are

Coral Gables was mapped by hand. Thoughtfully.
And Alhambra Circle was one of the first strokes. It threads through the heart of the city without ever shouting for attention.

You’re blocks from:

  • The Biltmore Hotel
  • Granada Golf Course
  • Old books, quiet coffee shops, people who wave back

There’s something grounding about this part of the Gables. Like it remembers what it was meant to be.


What You Don’t See in the Video

The homes on Alhambra Circle aren’t loud.
They don’t follow trends. They hold form.

Spanish tile. Courtyards. Deep lots. Quiet dignity.

Inside? Maybe original terrazzo. Maybe oak beams. Maybe modern lines inside a classic shell.
Each one a different version of the same idea: this is what home is supposed to feel like.


Coral Gables Real Estate: Reality Check

No fluff here.
Homes on Alhambra Circle move because they’re worth moving for.

  • Price Range: $2M–$6M
  • Lot Sizes: Often generous, many with mature landscaping
  • Styles: Mostly Mediterranean, some Old Spanish, and a few respectfully updated
  • Days on Market: Fewer than you think

If you’re looking for flash, this probably isn’t it.
But if you’re looking for something built right — something that stays — you’re close.


Why I Made the Drive

Because it’s worth showing — not selling.

Real estate isn’t always about square footage and quartz countertops.
Sometimes it’s about what the street feels like when you’re rolling at 12 mph.
No voiceover. No callout boxes. Just a lens and a steering wheel and the space between.


If You’re Looking

I’ve walked these homes, helped buy and sell them, seen what happens when someone finds the right one.

If you’re looking to live here, or list here, or just understand what makes Coral Gables feel the way it does — I’m around.
