Get to know Doral

The name Doral is a portmanteau of Doris and Albert Kaskel, the city’s founders who purchased a swath of land outside Miami in the late 1950s. They intended to build a hotel and a golf course and accomplished exactly that, with their twin creations becoming hot attractions in an area that had zero to speak of until then. Doral’s early growth history was characterized by many buying second homes and investment properties. However, today’s city has solidified into a thriving community. Golf remains a central focus, and Doral boasts some PGA Tour-level courses with coveted tee times. Many businesses put down roots in Doral, taking advantage of its one-mile proximity to Miami International Airport. There are plentiful shops in multiple grand malls, spots to dine al fresco on delicious cuisine, and a contemporary museum art museum showcasing works across creative disciplines.

Living in Miami-Dade

In Florida, “going south” is hardly a bad thing. Miami-Dade includes and surrounds the southernmost metropolis in the entire continental United States — and as the most populous county in the state, it’s home to a confluence of culture, cuisine, and recreation like no other. Its most dense stretch lies clustered in a strip roughly 20 miles wide, with a high rise-studded coastline balanced by more spread-out suburban neighborhoods that become increasingly prevalent heading inland. Miami-Dade also includes the upper Florida Keys and, lesser-known at large, a $2 billion agricultural industry operating predominantly in the lower half of the county, where farm fields operate in symbiosis with wildlife conservation and water recharge habitats. Residents commuting to the commercial districts of Miami benefit from the extensive Metrorail system, serving 23 stations along a 24-mile route between Palmetto and Kendall with a connection to Miami International Airport.
