The Best Gated Community in Coral Gables: A Deep-Dive into Cocoplum
When it comes to gated communities in Coral Gables, Cocoplum is the cream of the crop. The plush Coral Gables community is situated perfectly, just east of Old Cutler Rd and south of Coconut Grove. Homes in this exclusive enclave are coveted because of the communities’ desirable location, privacy, security and exquisite homes that offer large lot sizes. Cocoplum has many waterfront homes that are ideal for boaters, and water sports enthusiasts alike. The canals of this Coral Gables Community offer direct access to the beautiful Biscayne Bay.
The community is broken up into 2 sections which the Homeowner’s Association refers to as Phase 1 & 2.
Cocoplum Phase 1
Phase 1 consists of the properties that are directly east of Old Cutler Rd and cut off at the first canal on the east side. Phase 1 contains approx 140 homes.

Cocoplum Phase 2
Phase 2 is the larger of the two phases and is part of the Cocoplum Homeowners Association. There are approx 300 homes in Phase 2 which includes the 29 properties in Tahiti Beach. (Identified on map)
Some of the homes in Cocoplum over the years have expanded and occupy double and in some cases triple lots.
Phase 2 of Cocoplum has a mandatory and one time HOA fee of $35,000 which includes all the amenities that make Cocoplum so enticing such as a clubhouse, exercise center, tennis courts, kids playground, a yacht club and gorgeous landscaped parkways and common areas. Besides the one time fee Phase 2 of Cocoplum pays $1,000 every quarter. Phase 1 has limited access to these amenities but has no HOA fees.
