We lived in Kendall House Apartments for 6 years and I'm glad we were lucky enough to find this place to call it home.

Many would say location is its best feature, but I'd say management is by far the best thing about this place. Frank is simply amazing, always going way above and beyond. Have you heard about a landlord giving you the deposit check the same morning you're moving out? Have you been in a place where maintenance requests take from 15 minutes to maybe an hour and a half at max to... be attended to? These are just a part of the thing the great management and staff team were doing. They're always accessible, friendly, and courteous.
Location is obviously great. You have the metrorail station right across the street. You've got walking distance to Target, Trader Joe's (the only branch in Miami), BestBuy, and Pulix. Whole Foods is a 5 min. driver, plus many other retails, parks, and restaurants. Living in Miami without a car is super difficult, but thanks to the location here, we easily managed it for the first two years.
Although the buildings are pretty old themselves, you almost have no bug problems. Almost every other rental units at this price range have major roach and bug problems if you read the reviews (not surprising given that it's Florida). We had minor problems with some spiders and millipedes that were taken care of when I sealed the little space on the doorframes. We had a roach ONCE in six years, on the very last day of our residence, so you can almost say absolutely no roach problem. I feel my review wouldn't be honest if I didn't mention an incident where we had a rat in our kitchen, but the context needs to be taken into account. It happened right after hurricane Irma hit, which had disturbed the habitat and food supply of species. When I asked our neighbors about how common it was, the one with 14 years of residence said he hadn't ever heard of a rat coming into a unit. And it never happened again in the next 4 years we lived at our place. SO I can comfortably say it’s been an isolated event.
Overall, it's a great place to live in, and I think it beats every other competition in its price range, by far.
I would like to thank Frank again for his kindness, responsiveness, and utmost professionalism. Lee mas

I live here and believe me super happy. Tranquility, harmony, security

I love my apartment. People from office manager are great

I have to move soon. It's time, but I really don't want to go. I didn't give 5 stars because this place doesn't have the latest amenities or all the extras that a lot of new places have. There's no door guy, no WiFi, no morning coffee, no view, no security except a gate that everyone can follow you into and cameras, and my appliances and pipes are as old as they come (they'll be remodeling soon). No pets are allowed. The wall between you and your next door neighbor is paper thin. Some parts of... the parking lot can turn into a pond in a storm. Probably the oddest part of the design is that the door to the bathroom closet leads to the clothing closet.

STILL, it's a really great place to call HOME. All the grounds are well maintained and green which helps the place feel inviting. There's a nice outdoor pool. The complex is close to but not on a main highway and is backed up by a neighborhood filled with single family homes. Each apartment has sliding glass doors and big windows to let in a lot of light. The rooms are large in comparison to most new construction. You can walk to two grocery stores, mom and pop shops, restaurants, the mall, the drugstore the metrorail, and the busway. Cellphone stores, a car repair place, car wash, and a copy and shipping shop are all easy to reach. If you don't have a job in another area, you'll rarely need to leave the neighborhood. Most of the area is bilingual or English speaking.

The streets in the complex are small but there's not a lot of traffic and it's easy to find parking. If you leave at the wrong time, you will get caught in the typical rush hour traffic. It's usually quiet except those cute moments when you hear your neighbor singing in the shower or brushing their teeth and tapping on the sink. Lee mas
