Navigate Don Shula Expressway's length to find your main destination, West Kendall, a family-oriented suburban revered for its premiere planned communities and top-tier amenities.

A part of Miami Dade's unincorporated communities, West Kendall is led by the neighborhoods of Country Walk, Three Lakes, The Hammocks, and Kendale Lakes, and covers approximately 8 square miles of Kendall's western section.

It is bordered by the Everglades to the west, the main thoroughfare of Lindgren Road to the east, and the neighborhoods of Richmond West, Sunset, Tamiami, Olympia Heights, and Westwood Lakes to the south, east, northwest, northeast, and north, respectively.

It is home to approximately 35,606 residents as of the latest US Census.

Known for its diverse population, most of which are Hispanic residents, West Kendall, though part of a larger and more famous neighborhood like Kendall, bears its own identity. 

In fact, it even has its own publication, The West Kendall Gazette, which is published twice a month, alongside its own online publication, West Kendall Today.com, a partner of the Miami Herald!

But that's not the only thing interesting about West Kendall.

Aside from having its own media crew, West Kendall is known for its rich cultural offerings and vibrant atmosphere, boasting various events and celebrations throughout the year, from farmers' markets and festivals to monthly family-friendly activities like the West Kendall Community Expo.

West Kendall also has a few tourist headliners within its midst, including everyone's favorite for a round of skate-cruising on ice, the Kendall Ice Arena, a premier ice skating facility famous across Miami.

Kendall Ice Arena offers a variety of activities and services for folks of all ages, including public skating sessions, figure skating lessons, and ice hockey leagues.

It's also a choice venue for milestone celebrations, from birthday parties to corporate events, and regularly hosts skating and hockey camps and clinics.

Those into nature and galivanting outdoors would be happy to know that West Kendall is surrounded by tons of greens and preserves, including Tamiami Pinelands, a lush natural preserve with walking trails and native flora and fauna, where you can go on nature walks and learn more about the local ecosystem.

There's also the West Kendall District Park, a massive 164-acre green grounds with picnic areas, playgrounds, sports fields, and a dog park, popular with families (including the furry members) and anyone who craves a bit of R&R — relaxation and recreation.

Do you feel like immersing in Miami's history — or maybe just having an aesthetic IG snap?

Look no further than Coral Castle, just south of West Kendall!

A unique structure created by Edward Leedskalnin from 1923 to 1951, this jaw-dropping masterpiece, made from gigantic coral rock pieces, is doused with intriguing mysteries, a modern engineering marvel that's, luckily, open to the public for a visit — just check the schedule, obviously.

If trains are your thing, drive around 10 to 15 minutes to see a glimpse of the Gold Coast Railroad Museum, a showcase of South Florida's history of railroads.

Gold Coast Railroad Museum is home to rooms of exhibits, model trains, historic train cars, including the Ferdinand Magellan Presidential Railcar and a variety of historic passenger cars, freight cars, and locomotives, and regular events like train rides, special exhibitions, and educational programs for children and adults.

Of course, there's also West Kendall's massive dining scene, offering everything from local eateries and Cuban joints to household names and fine dining establishments, plus a few shopping centers and plazas with a mix of retail stores, grocery shops, and specialty boutiques.

And if you feel like going out of your way for more of Miami's charm, nightlife, and everything in between, all you need to do is hop on the Metrobus or Metrorail, and the world, or at least Magic City, is your oyster!

Don't worry; the ride won't be too long — West Kendall is only minutes from Kendall (of course!), the Everglades, Dadeland Mall, The Falls, South Miami, and Pinecrest!
