Why move to Kendall?
Kendall is one of South Florida’s most established suburbs — a sprawling, well-planned community just southwest of downtown Miami with hotels, shopping, dining, and entertainment to suit every taste. One of Kendall’s landmarks is Dadeland Mall, one of the nation’s busiest suburban shopping malls, and the area is also home to Zoo Miami and Miami Dade College’s Kendall Campus. Families are drawn here for the strong schools, suburban feel, and quick access to both the city and the coast — all with Florida’s lack of a state income tax. (Weighing it?
