Sunset Apartment Complexes — Pros & Cons From Real Resident Reviews
1 communities reviewed · Updated Jul 2026
Sunset is a densely built, mostly residential unincorporated Miami-Dade community wedged between Kendall, Olympia Heights, Glenvar Heights, and Westwood Lakes. Large apartment complexes are relatively scarce here compared to the surrounding Kendall corridor, with most rental listings tagged 'Sunset' actually located in a neighboring CDP.
As of mid-2026, Sunset Gardens is the clearest example of a real, currently operating apartment community whose address falls inside Sunset's own ZIP codes (33173/33183); most other listings marketed under the 'Kendall Sunset' label sit just outside the CDP boundary, so we're reporting this conservatively rather than padding the list.

Florida renter essentials
Renters insurance is not optional here. Most Florida leases require it, and standard policies do NOT cover flood damage — that needs a separate flood policy, even in an apartment. Before signing, look up the building's flood zone on FEMA's flood map service and ask which evacuation zone it sits in.
Ask about the real monthly cost. The most common complaint in Florida apartment reviews isn't noise — it's fee stacking: valet trash, common-area electric, mandatory bulk internet, pest control, admin and tech fees. Get the full itemized monthly figure in writing before you apply.
Tour with the AC running and ask about hurricanes. Humidity control is the difference between a fine unit and a moldy one; ask how old the AC is. And ask directly how the building handled the last major storm — communities that performed well say so happily, and reviewers call out the ones that didn't.
