Doral is one of the fastest-growing cities in Florida, conveniently located just one mile from [Miami International Airport](https://www.miami-airport.com/) and 12 miles from [downtown Miami](https://www.miamiandbeaches.com/places-to-see/downtown-miami). The city has [expanded rapidly](https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/doral/article154165974.html) over the past decade, becoming a hot spot for new residents, international buyers, and big businesses.

The area’s [largest employers](https://www.cityofdoral.com/about/doral-facts/) include Carnival Corporation, Univision, the Miami Herald, and the Doral Trump Golf Resort and Spa — and the area job growth is expected to keep growing steadily, with a 6.5% increase over the coming years.

As the rising city’s population has grown, so have its amenities, with two new urban centers — [Downtown Doral](https://downtowndoral.com/) and [CityPlace](https://www.cityplacedoral.com/) — offering dining, shopping and entertainment options.

Doral also has seven public parks, with a community center, sports fields, and numerous trails. The largest is the 82-acre [Doral Central Park](https://www.cityofdoral.com/all-departments/parks-and-recreation/facilities-and-rentals/doral-central-park/), home to major local events such as EGGstravaganza and the Independence Day Celebration. *— Sergei Klebnikov*
