Coral Gables, Private Communities

What it costs to live behind the gates
A guide to association dues and application fees across Coral Gables’ most exclusive addresses — and the neighborhoods that offer the same privacy without either.
Beyond the purchase price, admission to some of Coral Gables’ finest communities comes with two distinct costs: a recurring association fee, and a one-time application fee paid at closing. Here’s what to expect, address by address.
