Just south of Little Havana is Coral Way, named for the urban boulevard, SW 22nd Street (Coral Way), that runs from downtown Miami all the way through to the Ronald Reagan Turnpike. This corridor was established in 1922 with citrus-tree lined streets and later grew to have streetcar tracks down the center of the road. In 1929, a Roadside Beautification Program was started, and 1200 Banyan trees were planted along the median of the boulevard. Coral Way is still considered one of the most beautiful corridors in South Florida.
Coral Way’s population of roughly 50,000 is a primarily a mix of Hispanic, Latino and White families. This quiet community is dog-friendly, with plenty of sidewalks and well-kept yards.
Area attractions include Coral Gate Park, Shenandoah Park and the Shenandoah Library. There are also dozens of restaurants featuring Indian, Greek and Cuban cuisine. Local children going to public school attend Shenandoah Elementary and Shenandoah Middle Magnet Schools.
Windsurfing, kayaking, snorkeling and fishing are all just a hop and a skip away, whether it’s a little jaunt to nearby Grove Isle or a short metro ride up the coast to downtown Miami. Coral Way offers a great blend of suburban lifestyle with easy access to a vibrant metropolitan area and the countless recreational activities of a coastal region.
