Kendale Lakes is an established West Kendall community with homes from the 1970s and 1980s. HOA presence is mixed. Some sections have active HOAs with standard architectural review processes. Other sections of Kendale Lakes are not in HOAs at all, which means homeowners only need to deal with Miami-Dade County permits.

Frequently Asked Questions about HOAs in Kendale Lakes
Can I update an original Kendale Lakes home without HOA pushback?
Mostly yes for interior work. Kendale Lakes HOAs (where they apply) focus on exterior consistency. Interior updates are generally not subject to HOA review. Exterior work that maintains the character of the home tends to get approved smoothly. Major exterior changes (adding a second story, dramatically changing the front facade) require more careful application and may face additional scrutiny.
