Portofino, homes for sale today.

Portofino is a gated single-family community the MLS tracks in far West Kendall, ZIP 33196, alongside other newer, controlled-access sections that developed toward the western edge of the county's build-out, near Zoo Miami and the open land past it. “Portofino” isn't a unique name in Miami-Dade — there's a Portofino Tower condo in Miami Beach, a Portofino in Coconut Grove, and one in North Dade, none related to this one. If a search turns up a high-rise or a different city, that's a different Portofino.

This West Kendall pocket doesn't have the kind of public neighborhood write-up that some nearby communities do, so rather than guess at amenities, gate hours, or build year, I stick to what's confirmed: single-family, gated, in the same far-west stretch of 33196 as The Isles at Grand Bay nearby. Gated sections in this part of Kendall generally sit on land platted more recently than the older, ungated streets closer to the original Kendall corridor, though that's a general pattern rather than a confirmed fact for this specific address. Buyers cross-shopping Portofino against Isles at Grand Bay should tour both and confirm HOA structure, dues, and gate operation directly with each association rather than assuming they're interchangeable.

Portofino listings here are checked against the legal description the county's plat records show rather than the MLS subdivision label alone, since a name this common gets mixed up with unrelated communities more easily than most. What's shown here tracks live off MLS, updated as the county posts new records. If you're weighing a sale, I'll pull comps from inside this specific West Kendall section, not a blended far-West-Kendall average and not a same-named community elsewhere in Miami-Dade.
