Summary

Kennedy House is a 229-unit, 16-story condominium on the 79th Street Causeway in North Bay Village, built in the mid-1960s with 24-hour concierge, a heated pool and intracoastal waterfront access. Long-running reviews praise the bay views and amenities, but residents describe unresponsive building management and separate disputes with individual unit owners over deposits and repairs, which matters more here since apartments are individually owned.
