Worst things about living in Kendall
Look, I love Kendall, but let's be real about the downsides:
Traffic can be bad during rush hour
Job market is niche
Not much to complain about honestly
Don't get me wrong, it's still a great place overall. But people should know what they're getting into.

Can confirm the safety issue. But it really depends on the neighborhood. Highland Park and Midtown are perfectly safe.

Public transit needs work but they're investing in it. Should improve in next few years.

Check out the Old Town area. Way more affordable and still close to everything.

Downtown is overrated and overpriced. The suburbs offer way better value.
