What part of Kendall (or nearby) would be nice/safe that we afford to move to?...

If you look into places like Cutler Bay you will be able to fine a 2/1 for under a thousand, but the area IMO is a little sketchy. The closest place you are legally allowed to walk a dog at a park is on US1 in Perrine (just south of Brandsmart). Some suggestions of large communities to look at are Country Walk, The Crossings, The Hammocks and Sabel Chase. Look at the areas around these large communities too as there are smaller subdivisions that may fit your budget. Keys Gate in Homestead is really nice, but I don't think you will find a 2 bedroom for 1k. Good luck!

They might be able to get a one bedroom with a dining room or small den in Sabal Chase for $1000. Same goes for Country Walk or The Crossings area. OP: when you look at a map, the Sabal Chase area is the triangle bounded by Killian Parkway to the north, the Florida Turnpike to the west and SR 874 to the east.

If you don't mind a little bit of a drive to work, there are two bedroom townhomes/apartments in East Homestead (the "new" part of town east of the Turnpike) that rent for under $1000/month.

That's actually a good suggestion too, it wouldn't be much different than East Homestead in my opinion.
