Ponce de Leon's Description

An urban address in a peaceful upscale neighborhood, the invitingly luxurious and inexpensive Ponce de Leon condominium is ideally located in the heart of Coral Gables, within walking distance to the shops and restaurants of popular Miracle Mile.  The condominium features fifty opulent residences and there is also office and commercial space available.

Coral Gables already has the distinction of being one of South Florida’s most classically gorgeous cities to behold.  Being able to enjoy elevated panoramas of the cityscape while lounging by the poolside on the landscaped sixth floor deck just makes the whole experience that much more entertaining and exquisite.  Even better, there’s an entire outdoor area designed for hosting joyous celebrations both large and small which includes a bar and a barbecue grill, sure to be useful when Super Bowl time comes around.  Besides the fitness facility and sauna, you’ve also got the convenience of around the clock concierge and covered parking.

You’ll be happy to know that all of the Ponce de Leon residences have their own private elevator access, hugely oversized balconies and feature towering ten foot ceilings or eleven feet in penthouses.  Inside the kitchens you’ll find granite countertops complemented by stylish European cabinetry and an entire suite of stainless steel appliances by General Electric.  Bathrooms are adorned in decorative marble and also contain whirlpool tubs.  You can’t go wrong by choosing a unit in a building that reiterates why Coral Gables is one of the most upscale places to live in.

A short drive or hearty walk to the north is the Miami International Airport and the Melreese Golf Course.  To the southeast is the historic Biltmore Hotel or head a further distance in the southern direction to visit the Village at Merrick Park shopping mall, the five star Cuban cuisine at Havana Harry’s or the University of Miami campus.
