Kendale Lakes Condo Guide
West Kendall's middle-class roots run deepest in Kendale Lakes, where ranches and townhomes from the 1970s and 80s wrap a web of man-made lakes. The turnpike's commuter spine and nearby parks keep the family formula working.
The Blueprint for West Kendall
Before the county's westward expansion filled the map, Kendale Lakes drew the template: a 1970s planned district of lakes, curving family streets and golf-course frontage that proved suburban Dade could be built around water and green space. The professionals it raised went on to run half the county, and the pattern repeats — today's young families arrive to do exactly what the first generation did, stretching for the most house the budget allows and settling in for decades.
The lakes remain the social infrastructure. Evening walkers circle them, league sports fill the weekends at Kendale Lakes Park, and the SW 88th Street corridor supplies every routine errand without leaving the district. It is family suburbia operating precisely as designed, fifty years on.
Original Versus Updated
The core inventory is 1970s and 1980s single-family — ranches and two-story homes strung along the lake loops, where a water lot reliably commands the premium — surrounded by the townhouse and villa villages that made the district attainable from day one. Streets near the former golf fairways tend to carry the larger floor plans.
The defining spread in this market is condition. The era's homes renovate beautifully, and a fully updated house trades in a different league from an original next door — which makes the dated stock the local value play for buyers willing to manage a project. Roof age, plumbing vintage and insurance costs top the checklist, and association obligations vary section by section, from mandatory villages to loose voluntary civic groups.
Plugged Into the Kendall Map
The district sits on the SW 88th Street and 137th Avenue grid with the turnpike a short hop east, putting Dadeland, FIU and the airport all within reasonable range. The Hammocks' trail network borders to the west and Kendall's full commercial sprawl lies east, so residents borrow freely from both. Deep comparable-sales history across thousands of similar homes keeps pricing transparent — a quiet advantage for both sides of any deal.
Buying a Condo or Home in Kendale Lakes
Much of the demand here comes down to ranches and townhomes around man-made lakes. Use the bedroom and property-type benchmarks to see where your budget lands in Kendale Lakes, then shortlist buildings before you shortlist units — the association behind a condo shapes your monthly cost as much as the floor plan does. Any listing you open puts the photos, the unit record and the broker one tap away.
A mortgage-backed purchase in South Florida generally needs a month to six weeks to reach closing; an all-cash buyer can finish in roughly half that. For a condo, build in time for the association application and board interview, ask early for the budget, reserve study and milestone-inspection status, and get windstorm and flood quotes before writing an offer. Started on day one, none of this slows a Kendale Lakes purchase down.
Leasing in Kendale Lakes
Sensibly priced Kendale Lakes rentals rarely sit; many lease within a few weeks, and landlords commonly collect the first and last month's rent plus a security deposit at signing. Condo rentals also need the association's tenant approval, which runs on the board's calendar. The signed-rent table shows what tenants agreed to pay by bedroom count during the past year, and the rental map shows what is open for lease today.

Kendale Lakes Condo & Home Buying Questions
Why do condo values in Kendale Lakes vary so much from one building to the next?
Kendale Lakes draws buyers for ranches and townhomes around man-made lakes, yet condo pricing here is set tower by tower: construction era, reserve funding, amenities, insurance costs and view lines can separate two buildings on the same block. Treat the closed-sale benchmarks in this guide as the baseline, then compare individual buildings before you narrow down to a unit.
Where can I find recent sale prices for Kendale Lakes?
The Kendale Lakes benchmarks near the top of this guide report the past year's median closed price, price per square foot and bedroom-level medians. They are recalculated from recorded MLS closings as new ones post, so you are never reading a quarterly report that went stale weeks ago.
Is a condo or a single-family house the better fit in Kendale Lakes?
Start with the property-type table, which shows how condo closings in Kendale Lakes compare with houses and townhouses. Choosing a condo makes the association's budget, reserves, master insurance policy and approval process part of your purchase; choosing a house makes the roof, windstorm coverage and upkeep yours alone. Each property type has its own map search in the links further down.
