A suburban enclave situated southwest of downtown Miami, Kendall serves as home to over 75,000 residents spread across numerous individual communities. Kendall lacks a municipal government or its own police force and fire department but retains many physical characteristics typical of cities.
Served by four major highways -- U.S. Highway 1, the Don Shula Expressway, the Palmetto Expressway and the Homestead Extension of the Florida Turnpike -- Kendall features a diverse array of housing options including new developments, old Florida cottages from the 1940s through 1960s, and an assortment of apartment homes and townhouses. The community provides easy access to the big-city life of Miami while maintaining enough distance to give its residents room to breathe.
