Chinese Village is a separately City-mapped Coral Gables historic district containing an eight-home thematic village constructed in 1926–1927. The City bounds the cluster by Sansovino Avenue, Castania Avenue, Maggiore Street, Riviera Drive, and Menendez Avenue. Henry Killam Murphy designed the homes, which the City describes as linked by a common wall with ornamental gates and compound-like details. This is a residential streetscape subject, not a City-operated attraction: a May 3, 2026 event offered a rare private tour, which does not establish routine public access to private homes.

Useful district resources
These public spaces and community resources may support practical routines. Confirm current hours, access rules, fees, and schedules directly with each operator.
Coral Gables Museum — nearby public history resource
The City lists Coral Gables Museum at 285 Aragon Avenue. Its visitor page says the museum interprets the 1920s planned community and offers exhibitions, collections, educational programs, lectures, tours, publications, and special events; wheelchair accessibility is listed. It is a separate downtown attraction, not part of Chinese Village. Confirm current programming, hours, and admission with the museum.
Visit official resource →Merrick House — nearby public historic grounds
The City lists Merrick House at 907 Coral Way and says visitors can take docent-guided weekend tours and stroll its 1.3-acre grounds, including the historic grotto, Heritage Garden, and lily pond. The City lists tours on Saturday and Sunday at 1, 2, and 3 p.m., cash-only admission, and a call-for-current-information instruction. Merrick House is a separate landmark, not a Chinese Village residence or access point.
Visit official resource →Venetian Pool — nearby ticketed recreation
The City lists Venetian Pool at 2701 De Soto Boulevard. It is a separate public, ticketed aquatic facility with online booking, capacity limits, a minimum age of 3 years and minimum height of 38 inches, and resident/non-resident rates. The City publishes a Tuesday–Friday 11 a.m.–5:30 p.m. and Saturday–Sunday 10 a.m.–4:30 p.m. schedule with Monday closed, but visitors should verify current operations, fees, and rules directly.
Visit official resource →How telehealth fits a local routine
Luma Health provides online medical weight-management evaluation to eligible Florida adults. Virtual care can reduce travel time and make follow-up easier to coordinate around work, family, and commuting. It does not replace emergency care, preventive primary care, or an in-person evaluation when a clinician determines one is necessary.
Provider-guided care from home
Submitting an assessment does not guarantee treatment or a prescription. A licensed clinician reviews each patient's medical history and determines whether treatment is appropriate.
Check eligibility →Build a sustainable weekly plan
Start with one realistic activity route, one reliable food-shopping option, and one repeatable movement or meal-planning habit. Discuss significant changes in activity, diet, or medication with an appropriate healthcare professional.
