Moving to Kendale Lakes, FL: What to Know Before Moving Day
Planning a move to Kendale Lakes, FL? Learn what to expect from older home layouts, mature landscaping, HOA requirements, peak moving season, and other local logistics before moving day.
Kendale Lakes is a well-established residential community in the heart of Kendall, centered around the 33183 and 33184 zip codes. It was developed primarily in the 1970s and 1980s, which means the homes here 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. The neighborhood is primarily single-family homes, most of them 3- and 4-bedroom properties with backyard pools and two-car garages.
Because the homes were built 40 to 50 years ago, you will find some logistical considerations that newer suburban homes do not have: narrower hallways, older door frames, and garage entries designed for smaller vehicles. Our crew scouts the property on arrival to plan the best route for each piece before the move starts.
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 a long time have accumulated significant furniture and belongings. Moving a 3-bedroom home occupied for 15 or 20 years takes more time than moving a recently furnished equivalent. When you call for a quote, let us know how long you have lived in the property and how much storage space the home has.
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 the day of the move 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 a stability that newer communities are still building.

Tips for Your Kendale Lakes Move
Book early, especially if you are moving between May and September. Summer is peak season in Miami, and weekend availability fills fast. A weekday morning move will save you money and get you the cooler part of the day. Walk through your home before moving day and decide what stays, what goes to storage, and what gets donated. Moving a Kendale Lakes home is significantly faster when the non-essentials have already been handled.
