As of September 2026, Highlands at Kendall 1ST in FL has 1 home for sale. As of September 2026, the MLS records 35 closed sales in Highlands at Kendall 1ST in FL since 2012, the most recent in October 2025. Recorded prices since 2024 ran from $653,000 to $715,000 (median $660,000), on homes of 1,684 to 2,689 sq ft.

The most important fact about Highlands at Kendall 1st right now is not a price, it is volume: the current window shows a single closing. That is too thin to draw a pricing trend line, and any broker who tells you otherwise is reading tea leaves, not data. What it does tell you is that this is a smaller, lower-turnover pocket rather than a high-throughput resale market.
For a buyer, that means less competitive pressure but also less to compare against, so pricing a specific home here leans harder on condition, lot, and recent comparable closings than on a broad community curve. For a seller, it means positioning and presentation matter more than chasing a market average, because there is not enough closed volume this period to lean on for a confident number.
The 60-Second Overview
Highlands at Kendall 1st sits in Miami-Dade County with very limited recent closing activity, which puts it outside the kind of high-volume markets where pricing patterns are easy to read.

The Highlands at Kendall 1st buying strategy.
If we were buying in Highlands at Kendall 1st today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Highlands at Kendall 1st.
A market defined by scarcity of data, not scarcity of value
With only one closing in the current window, Highlands at Kendall 1st does not offer the kind of statistical picture we can give for higher-volume Miami-Dade communities. That is not a red flag on its own, plenty of established communities simply do not turn over often. It does mean that anyone quoting a firm price trend for this specific community right now is extrapolating from too little.
No community amenities have been identified from current MLS listings, which is common in smaller or older platted communities where shared recreational infrastructure was never part of the original development, or where listings simply have not flagged it. Buyers should verify directly what, if anything, is attached to the property beyond the home and lot itself.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Highlands at Kendall 1st. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

We pull the actual comparable sales, verify condition and lot specifics, and tell you plainly when the data is too thin to support a confident number, rather than papering over it with a generic estimate.
