Country Walk is a community of mostly owner-occupied single-family homes in southwest Miami-Dade, many built in the 1990s or later. We connect its homeowners with independent contractors for refrigerator, washer, dryer and dishwasher repair.
Country Walk is a Census-designated place about 19 miles southwest of downtown Miami. SW 137th Avenue runs along its east side, Coral Reef Drive (SW 152nd Street) the south, SW 162nd Avenue the west and SW 136th Street the north. Three Lakes lies to the east, Richmond West to the south, farmland to the west and Miami Executive Airport to the north.
The community was designed and built by the Arvida Corporation. The first homes broke ground in 1978, and Arvida's construction finished in 1994. Census ZIP code area data splits Country Walk between 33196 and 33186, and both are on our coverage list.

Half of the homes in Country Walk were built in 1997 or later, which makes it one of the newer communities covered on this site.

There's one pattern worth knowing. When several appliances are installed at the same time, they tend to wear out at around the same time. If your washer just needed a repair, it's worth checking the dryer vent, the dishwasher filter and the refrigerator's coils too. Small maintenance now can delay the next repair.
About 80% of homes are owner-occupied, so most repair decisions are the homeowner's. If your neighborhood has an association, check its rules on contractor access before the visit.
