Downtown Kendall, FL, is a quiet neighborhood to call home.
A hub of activity
From high-rise condos to boundless shopping, Downtown Kendall is a magnet for those who want to be at the heart of activity. This is the jam-packed nucleus of the Miami suburb of Kendall. “To me this is a great community for a single person or a bachelor,” says local Realtor Gustavo Pacheco of eXp Realty. “Somebody that wants to have beautiful buildings around. They have a lot of restaurants. They have entertainment.” Fan out a bit from the core of Downtown Kendall, and one will find more single-family homes in a suburban environment, all still conveniently close to the area’s amenities.
So much to do, in a dense district
The heart of the neighborhood beats around the thoroughfares of Kendall Drive and Dadeland Boulevard. This area is loaded with myriad restaurants and other businesses, condos and the 1.4-million-square-foot Dadeland Mall. Pacheco lived in one of the condos here for a couple of years. “It was awesome,” he says. “Because you could literally go down and have lunch at any of the restaurants there. It’s walking distance.” Delicias de España is among the hotspots, with a daily-changing menu full of Spanish dishes, from Chorizo subs to stufed squid. Nearby Dadeland Mall has a lot of restaurants of its own, Pacheco says, including Chicken Guy!, part of a fast-food chain from Food Network star Guy Fieri. The mall features more than 180 stores, too, from ALDO to ZARA. There’s even a Publix here, across the street from Delicias de España, for when it’s time to grab groceries and other essentials.
Kendall Drive is one of the heartlines of Downtown Kendall, FL.
