Spanish-style homes range from condos to five-bedroom houses
This area was developed mostly between the late 1970s and 2000. It offers a variety of Spanish Revival-style homes across several subdivisions, both open and gated. Homeowners' association fees vary. Sale prices begin with multifamily options, such as condos, villas and townhouses. Units range from around $215,000 to about $515,000, with townhouses on the high end. Single-family properties range from around $450,000 to about $1 million. Houses on larger lots and those with roomy four- and five-bedroom floorplans make up the high end, but age, location, condition and other factors can also affect pricing. Kendall West has special flood zones, and properties within those may require flood insurance for federally backed mortgages. Hurricane season ranges from the first of June to the end of November.
Four‑ and five‑bedroom Spanish Revival homes on larger lots anchor high‑end pricing.
