That said, most properties were initially constructed between the early 1990s and early 2000s. Lastly, and most importantly to many who live here, Kendall, West Kendall and Kendale Lakes are known for having fantastic schools, making these slices of suburbia ideal for families with young children or anyone looking to hunker down somewhere stable.
