Doral is located in west Miami-Dade. It has
been one of the most successful developments in the state. In Doral you have
townhouse, condos and single family Homes. Each community has its own club house offering
tennis, swimming, gym
with sauna.
It's
almost like a scene from a Disney movie: an immaculately manicured land of lagoons,
waterfalls and diamond-white sandy beaches. A place where ducks saunter across tree-shaded
lanes. Where children pass lakes and meadows on their way home from school and their moms
and dads play golf on world-class courses and tennis on clay courts. It seems like another
world -- far from the fast lane. Luxury homes for sale.
But it's not. The new fast lane of Miami-Dade County leads to points west, in the Palmetto
Expressway- Miami International Airport corridor between Northwest 36th and 74th streets,
where 85,000 people now work, not many fewer than the 120,000 in downtown Miami, Brickell
and Omni
combined.
And the residential neighborhood that has sprung up there in the last decade -- Doral is
one of the hottest spots for development in the county. It's a place where thousands of
people have decided they can have it all -- pleasant, even courtly, suburban homes in a
subtropical forest of palms and flowering trees. A place where horses still graze in
fields adjacent to new homes. And those new homes are close to new -- and old --
workplaces. Ryder System, Carnival Cruise Lines, Univision and other prominent companies
have their headquarters in Doral. That lure has transformed Doral nearly overnight from
cow pasture into burgeoning residential neighborhood, with an estimated population of
14,000 and thousands more on the way. Among Doral's top quality shopping areas are the Miami International Mall and soon to be built Dolphin Mall. Also,
an established "Publix" supermarket in the Doral Plaza on NW 36 Street is found
a few blocks east of the "Winn-Dixie" neighborhood mall.
Development of another
"Publix" on NW 58th Street will follow soon after. Luxury Condos
for sale.
