North Kendall Dr, Pinecrest

Beginning almost by the Bay, way east in the south of Miami, it heads inland west in to what is known generally as Kendall.

At one point it crosses over US1. This cluster could be confusing at first, with the Snapper Creek Expressway a wrong turn ahead and the intersection to continue up Kendall and to Dadeland Mall on the other side of US1.

Kendall, on the west side of US1 in this area, is continually 88th St from that point on as you head up the Avenues. As you head up, you pass many shopping centers, businesses, and lots of residential areas from houses to condominiums. It is one of the gateways in to Kendall, and leads to and from the Palmettto Expw and the Florida Turnpike along with it's many other highway junctions.

Take it east from Kendall to get back to the center of the city, just be careful around that area on the other side of US1, as it can get pretty tricky without proper thinking and planning ahead. However, many options at this point where 88th Street meets US1.

This road will get you many places you need to go in Miami. There are many nice neighborhoods just around the corner that I would love to live in or own property in. The views are tremendous and it gives you a nice feel for what the Miami lifestyle could be like. There is all kinds of entertainment close by and very good food all around.

Although N Kendall Drive has it's vast share of shopping malls, large restaurants, and movie theaters, the traffic is not wildly congested. Traffic is only bad during rush hours, and the roadway is wide with several lanes that allow an easy escape around slow drivers. There are awesome spots to dine such as Bahama Breeze, Tony Roma's, Ankaar Cafe', and a whole bunch of Starbucks locations. It stretches from US1/South Dixie Highway all the way down to Krome Avenue.

Important highway that links extreme parts of south Miami. Despite the fact it's busy, has lots of big stores, a big mall, intersects with important north-south highways, one can still find nice but affordable apartment complexes to live in.
