West Kendall

West Kendall is a large suburb of Miami located within the census boundaries of Kendall. It is often confused with Kendall West, a smaller unincorporated census-designated area between SW 147th and SW 157th Avenues. West Kendall, by contrast, stretches from Krome Avenue (SW 177th Avenue) east to the Florida Turnpike, and from Bird Road south to Coral Reef Drive (SW 152nd Street).

The community is made up of numerous neighborhoods, including Lakes of the Meadows, Kendall Lakes, Winston Park, The Hammocks, The Crossings, Calusa, Devon-Aire, Country Walk, Deerwood, Three Lakes, and Kendall Breeze. Housing options range from single-family homes to townhouses and condos, making it a popular choice for families. The area is also highly diverse, with Spanish spoken as a first language by a large majority of residents.

West Kendall offers a variety of recreational amenities. Local parks include Westwind Lakes Park, known for its skateboarding facilities, ramps, and annual Skateboard Rodeo, as well as Kendall Green Park, which features expansive walking and jogging paths. Families also enjoy nearby attractions like Zoo Miami—the state’s largest and oldest zoological park—and the Gold Coast Railroad Museum, located just to the south.

Shopping and dining are centered around Kendall Village Center, an open-air plaza with retail stores, restaurants, and a cinema, located minutes from Town & Country Mall. Nova Southeastern University has a campus here, and the Miami Executive Airport (formerly Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport) serves the area with corporate, recreational, and training aviation facilities.

Education options include a strong mix of public schools—such as Oliver Hoover Elementary, Dante B. Fascell Elementary, Arvida Middle School, and Devon Aire K-8 Center—alongside private institutions like Calusa Preparatory School, Archimedean Academy, Westwood Christian School, and Bridgepoint Preparatory.

Altogether, West Kendall is a growing, family-oriented community that combines suburban comfort with access to shopping, schools, parks, and cultural attractions—offering residents a self-contained lifestyle within Miami-Dade County.
