September 4, 2026

Kendale Lakes is a well-established residential community in the heart of Kendall, centered around ZIP codes 33183 and 33184. It was developed primarily in the 1970s and 1980s, which means the homes have character, mature landscaping, and solid construction. Families move to Kendale Lakes for the schools, the community feel, and the value compared to newer suburbs further west.

About Kendale Lakes

Kendale Lakes sits in the middle of the Kendall corridor, primarily single-family homes of 3 and 4 bedrooms with backyard pools and two-car garages. Because the homes were built 40 to 50 years ago, you will find some logistics that newer suburban homes do not present: narrower hallways, older door frames, and garage entries designed for smaller vehicles. Our crew assesses the property on arrival to plan the best route for each piece before the move starts.

How Much Does a Kendale Lakes Move Cost?

A 3-bedroom home in Kendale Lakes with a four-man crew runs 6 to 7 hours at $300 per hour, totaling $1,800 to $2,100. If you prefer a three-man crew, expect 8 to 9 hours at $250 per hour, totaling $2,000 to $2,250. The four-man option is faster and the total cost is often similar. For a 4-bedroom home, we typically send five men and two trucks at $375 per hour, running 6 to 7 hours, totaling $2,250 to $2,625. Do It Now Moving Services provides a written quote before every move. No fuel surcharges, no stair fees, no hidden charges for moves within Kendall and Miami-Dade.

Kendale Lakes Moving Logistics

Mature Trees and Landscaping

Many Kendale Lakes properties have mature trees and hedges close to the driveway, which limits where we can park the truck. We bring a spotter on every move to guide the truck into position without damaging your property.

Home Contents

Families that have lived in Kendale Lakes for 15 or 20 years have accumulated significant furniture and belongings. When you call for a quote, let us know how long you have been in the property and how much storage space the home has. A heavily furnished 3-bedroom home lived in for two decades takes more time than the same footprint recently furnished.

HOA Rules

Some sections of Kendale Lakes are governed by HOAs. If yours has rules about moving hours, truck size, or requires advance notification, handle that before moving day. Most Kendale Lakes HOAs are flexible, but surprises on move day create delays.

Why People Move to Kendale Lakes

Kendale Lakes consistently ranks as one of the best-value neighborhoods in the Kendall area. The homes are larger than what you find in Coral Gables or South Miami for the same price, the schools are well-rated, and the neighborhood has the kind of stability that newer communities are still building. Many of our Kendale Lakes clients are moving from apartments in Brickell or Coral Gables, buying their first house. Others are families already in Kendall, upgrading as their family grows.

Tips for Your Kendale Lakes Move

Book early if you are moving between May and September. Summer is peak season in Miami-Dade, and weekend availability fills fast. A weekday morning start gives you the cooler part of the day and better flexibility. Walk through your home before moving day and identify anything that needs special handling: antiques, large mirrors, TVs, or anything mounted to the walls.
