Townhouse for Sale in East Kendall, Pinecrest

East Kendall and Pinecrest are primarily suburban and residential, with many single-family homes, large tropical lots, mature tree canopy, and local parks such as Pinecrest Gardens. Pinecrest has higher housing costs and property values than the Miami‑Dade County average; public schools are served by Miami‑Dade County Public Schools and several private school options are nearby. The area is car-oriented with access to major roads and the Dadeland Metrorail within driving distance, experiences a tropical climate with hot, humid summers and mild winters, and faces seasonal hurricane risk.

The phrasing mixes two adjacent areas with different cost profiles: Pinecrest is one of Miami‑Dade’s most expensive municipalities, where many single‑family homes list for $1 million or more. East Kendall (the eastern portion of Kendall) is substantially more affordable, featuring a larger supply of rentals and lower‑priced single‑family homes. For up‑to‑date prices consult current MLS listings or Miami‑Dade property appraiser records.

The area has a tropical monsoon climate with hot, humid summers and warm, drier winters. Summers (May–October) bring frequent afternoon thunderstorms and most of the roughly 60 inches of annual rainfall; hurricane season runs June–November with peak risk in August–September. Typical summer highs are in the upper 80s to low 90s °F (≈31–34 °C) and winter highs in the mid-70s °F (≈24 °C); frost is virtually nonexistent.

Pinecrest generally reports lower violent- and property-crime rates than the Miami-Dade County average and is regarded as one of the county’s safer municipalities with predominantly single-family residential neighborhoods. East Kendall (the unincorporated Kendall area) has more variable safety—some neighborhoods experience higher property crime and occasional violent incidents, and parts of East Kendall typically show higher crime rates than Pinecrest. For current, neighborhood-level statistics consult Miami-Dade Police Department crime maps and Florida Department of Law Enforcement reports, as crime levels can change by block and year.
