One of the things which
attract young families is the quality of the schools in the area. According to Great Schools
(a website which takes information gathered from the community and rates schools)
Doral has several public schools which are rated five out of five, or four out of
five stars.

Not only does Doral have
excellent public schools, the community also has several highly rated private
schools. The quality of the education Doral offers is one of the reasons real estate
values keep rising. As more young families move to the area, median listings
show signs of a continuing upward swing. Rental properties are also showing an
increase in list price, making Doral a place real estate investors are becoming
more interested in.
The quality of life in
Doral is another big draw for residents. With six popular golf courses and
resorts in the area, golf enthusiasts have their pick of top rated courses to
choose from. The Blue Monster (The Doral Golf Resort) was recently purchased by
Donald Trump with plans to renovate and update the course and resort. This has
spurred renewed interest in the area’s real estate market. Other top rated
courses in Doral include Greg Norman’s Great White, The Silver Course, The Gold
Course, The Red Course, and Costa Greens Golf Club.
It’s not just about recreation;
the economy in Doral is growing and has been ranked as the Best City in Florida
for Business Start-Ups by Business Week and US
News. Forbes has named Doral number
two for America’s Top 25 towns to live for its pro-business, educated
workforce, and cultural amenities. CNN Money ranked the community 51st
in the Top 100 Places to Live and Launch a Business in the US, and Doral was
ranked the Third Best Place in the USA to Retire by US News and World Report. The
unemployment rate was under the national and state average in 2009 at 5.9%.
All of these factors
combine to make Doral a great place to live for young and old alike. The
economy provides jobs for working age adults, top rated schools for young
families, and a safe and relaxed environment for retirees. With all that it has
going for it, it is no wonder why the real estate values in Doral keep going
up.
