About 20 miles from the hustle and bustle of Miami, Kendale Lakes is a suburban enclave filled with winding residential streets and green space. The suburb sits in the center of Miami-Dade County, right next to Florida’s Turnpike, one of the main thoroughfares for the state, giving residents easy access to Miami and its many suburbs. The community’s proximity to the Everglades gives it a quiet, tucked-away feel that’s becoming more and more difficult to find in South Florida. “It’s near everything, yet it’s really secluded,” says Martin Rodriguez, a real estate agent with Homeside Realty who sells throughout the Miami area. “Kids can play in the street, and the schools are really good.”

Shopping, dining and entertainment along North Kendale Drive
Rodriguez says that a major perk of living in Kendale Lakes is avoiding Miami for a night out. “You don’t have to go into the city to find things to do; there are all kinds of restaurants, bars and a movie theater right there,” he says. Most of those things to do are located near North Kendale Drive and Florida’s Turnpike, where large shopping centers hold major retailers and restaurants, and Regal Kendall Village, where residents catch the latest blockbuster. North Kendale Drive also offers grocery stores and other retailers where residents pick up essentials. For those who want to brave the traffic, Miami’s bustling nightlife scene is about 20 miles away. Just outside the community is HCA Florida Kendall Hospital, and a few medical centers are located near North Kendall Drive and Florida’s Turnpike.

Residents enjoy regular programming at the Kendale Lakes Library
The Kendale Lakes branch of the Miami-Dade Public Library offers multiple events and classes for residents of all ages. Residents also head into Miami and surrounding cities for seasonal events.
The city of Miami keeps residents informed about hurricanes
Like most of South Florida, Kendale Lakes is susceptible to hurricanes. The city of Miami offers a hurricane guide on its website with multiple ways to prepare for extreme weather. Crime statistics for the suburb are not readily available.
Florida's Turnpike and the Metrobus keep residents moving
Florida’s Turnpike runs along the community’s east side and connects to the rest of South Florida. While most residents choose to drive, the Miami Dade County Metrobus stops along major thoroughfares like Southwest 88th Street and Lindgren Road. Miami International Airport is about 16 miles away.
