Courtyards at Kendall Miami Living and Location
This
expanding neighborhood is at the intersection of three
converging arteries, Dixie Highway,
 North Kendall Drive
and the Palmetto Expressway (SR 826). With the South
Dade Metrorail stop, the Datran center office complex
and several large hotels, Downtown Dadeland area became
a self-contained center for business and shopping and
now luxury living.
Kendall
is a suburban area situated in the Miami Dade County of
Florida and is politically unincorporated. It has been
distinguished as a census designated place by the United
States Census Bureau. As is common to all census
designated places or CDPs, Kendall also lacks a separate
municipal Government but is apparently nothing
dissimilar to incorporated places. This particular
community was named after an executive of the British
Land Company by the name of Major Kendall. Its location
is at 25°40'0 N, 80°21'24 W and it has an approximate
area of around 16 mi sq.
This CDP had a population of more than 75,000 seven
years back and is steadily growing. About four languages
are spoken in the area of which Spanish is the most
spoken followed by English, Portuguese, French and
French Creole. Kendall has many sites of attraction
throughout and is especially done up for tourists.
Several museums, parks and other places of interest are
strewn across the city. Famous areas of attraction
include Flamingo Tropical Garden, Bass Museum of Art,
Frost Art Museum, Barnacle State Historic Site and Oleta
River State Park.
Kendall has an advanced education system with numerous
schools and colleges forming part of the network. It
falls under the Miami Public Schools district and is
served by two elementary schools and famous high schools
like Felix Varela High School and John A. Ferguson High
School. The Miami Dade College also has a campus in
Kendall. This place is very popular and in very high
demand. In recent months the foreclosure rate has
increased dramatically. This area has now one the
highest foreclosure rates in Miami.
