About the area
Where Tamiami is
Tamiami is an unincorporated community and Census-designated place. Sweetwater and Westchester lie to the east, Westwood Lakes to the southeast and Kendale Lakes to the south. U.S. Route 41, the Tamiami Trail, runs through the middle of the community. The name blends “Tampa” and “Miami,” after the road that crosses the Everglades between the two cities.
Tamiami is home to St. Kevin School and Belen Jesuit Preparatory School. It spans three ZIP codes, 33175, 33184 and 33182, and all three are on our coverage list. ZIP 33184 lies mostly inside Tamiami, while 33175 and 33182 are shared with neighboring communities.
Local homes
Homes in Tamiami and what they mean for appliance repair
The U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2020–2024 estimates) counts about 18,300 homes in Tamiami, with roughly 49,800 residents. About 57% are single-family detached houses, 15% are attached homes such as townhouses, and 22% are in buildings with two or more units, including 13% in large buildings of 50 or more units. About 6% are mobile or manufactured homes.
The median home here was built in 1984. Homes from the 1980s and early 1990s are old enough that original water supply lines, dryer vent ducts and outlets may be due for a look, even when the appliance itself is newer.
About 72% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, so most residents arrange appliance repairs themselves. If you rent, check your lease first, since your landlord or property manager may handle repairs.
Dryer vent runs
In single-family homes the dryer vent often runs through a wall or attic to the outside. Long or crushed ducts slow drying and collect lint.
Upstairs laundry
Townhouses often put the laundry closet upstairs. A drain pan under the washer and a quick-close shut-off valve limit damage if a hose fails.
Community rules
If your community has an association, check its rules on contractor parking and access before the visit.
Local guide
One community, several kinds of homes
Tamiami's housing is varied. Census estimates show that a little over half of homes are detached houses and about 15% are townhouses or other attached homes. About 13% are in large buildings of 50 or more units, and about 6% are mobile or manufactured homes, a higher share than in most communities on this site. Each type affects what a repair visit looks like.
In manufactured homes, laundry and kitchen spaces can be compact, and appliances may have specific installation and venting requirements set by the home's manufacturer. Have the appliance model number ready and describe the space when you call, so the contractor knows what to expect.
In houses and townhouses, the most common calls are the familiar ones. A washer leaks from a worn fill hose, a dryer takes too long because of a clogged vent, or a refrigerator struggles in summer heat. Our guides list the safe checks to try first.
