East Kendall

A well-established family corridor bordering Pinecrest — palm-lined streets, The Falls shopping, and a wide range of housing from condos to spacious single-family homes.

The Overview

Where Kendall meets Pinecrest

East Kendall runs along the N. Kendall Drive / SW 88th Street corridor, bordered by Pinecrest to the east and Palmetto Bay to the south — a long-established suburban district of tree-lined streets, gated communities, and easy access to The Falls shopping center. Housing ranges widely, from condos and townhomes near the retail corridor to spacious single-family homes on larger lots closer to Pinecrest.

The market spans a wide range depending on zip code: homes closest to Pinecrest (33156) average roughly $1.5M, while the broader corridor to the south and west (33176) averages closer to $630K — giving buyers real flexibility between estate-style living and more accessible entry points, all within reach of the same schools and parks.
