Located to the northwest of the city of Miami, Doral was named for Doris and Alfred Kaskel, who developed the land in the 1950s. They transformed 2,400 acres of swampland into a beautiful golf course and country club where beach vacationers could spend a day on the links — today the Trump National Doral Miami golf resort with its famous Blue Monster course. The Kaskels were instrumental in establishing Doral as a PGA host, and residential growth took off in the 1980s.

Doral is now a premier place to live in the US, offering luxury living, many amenities, diverse culture, and business opportunities. With a population of over 70,000 people, Doral is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country. Forbes named Doral the number two American town for its cultural offerings and pro-business environment. US News & World Report says Doral is the third best place in the US to retire, and a remarkable 96 percent of residents recommend it as a place to live and work, citing the extraordinarily high quality of life there.
