Known as The City Beautiful, Coral Gables stands out as a planned community that blends color, details, and the Mediterranean Revival architectural style. Coral Gables is a major employment center, with almost as many people working in the City as living there. The Coral Gables economy is comprised of local and international businesses, but unlike other parts of Florida, it is not influenced as strongly by seasonal shifts. The City is especially desirable to businesses because of its proximity to Miami International Airport, the Port of Miami, and downtown Miami, while also being convenient for executive housing. In addition, a vintage style trolley connects many of the commercial districts, Grand Avenue and the Metrorail. The City has a strong offering of banking, investment institutions, health care, and professional services, as well as being the international headquarters for Bacardi and Del Monte Fresh Produce. The University of Miami (UM) is also located in Coral Gables, and is the City's largest employer. UM, a research university, is ranked 50th among the nations top-tier institutions in the U.S. News & World Report ratings of "America's Best Colleges." Also located within the City is Northwestern University's prestigious Kellogg School of Management Executive MBA Program. Coral Gables' lower schools offer strong academic and international programs including an international baccalaureate program at Coral Gables Senior High and at Gulliver Preparatory School. The City provides excellent municipal services, including an accredited Police Department, as well as a Class 1 Fire Department and a Class 1 Building Division. In addition, Coral Gables has been named a Tree City USA for the last 31 consecutive years, and selected as a Playful City USA for eight years in a row. Excellent municipal services, high quality of life, convenient access, responsible growth and a diversified economy make Coral Gables a highly desirable place to live, work and play.

The City of Hialeah is the sixth largest municipality in Florida, serving over 236,000 residents living in approximately 20-square miles. Hialeah, incorporated in 1925, has a long and proud history. One of the city's most important and nationally well-known historic sites is the Hialeah Park Racetrack, built in 1925. Hialeah Park is an important part of Hialeah's future as well. After a short period when the Park was closed to racing, Hialeah Park reopened in November 2009 with quarter horse racing and is currently undergoing a multi-staged full restoration. Exciting plans call for the construction of an entertainment complex to include a hotel, restaurants, casinos, stores and a theater. Just as Hialeah's past is an important part of its future, so is a new, recently annexed three square mile area, "Hialeah Heights," to be developed soon into a beautiful residential and commercial area in the northwest part of the City. "The City of Progress" as Hialeah is known to many, has historically been home to a number of Cuban exiles. Several monuments and parks throughout the city pay tribute to leaders and heroes who are important to many residents' culture. With a Hispanic population of over 94%, Hialeah’s welcoming immigrant community now is home to Puerto Ricans, Mexicans and other Hispanic groups, making Hialeah a culturally diverse and dynamic place to live. Hialeah is a dynamic, family oriented community marked by cultural heritage and traditions. The Hialeah community is a unique blend of nationalities and cultures, whose residents are proud of its ethnicity and family friendly neighborhoods. The City of Hialeah is an extraordinary place to live, work and play. Be sure to follow the City of Hialeah on all social media channels for the latest news regarding upcoming events!
