Welcome to Wynwood
Once an industrial area, Wynwood has transformed over the decades into one of Miami’s cultural epicenters. Homes here range from modest Mediterranean-style two- and three-bedrooms on quiet side streets to high-rise condominiums and ultra-modern lofts. And an abundance of possibilities draws art lovers, foodies and the fashion-forward — as well as corporations and savvy startups — to Wynwood’s upbeat energy. But what ties all the spaces together in this community is an active outpouring of street art and murals gracing buildings, parks and businesses in this vibrant neighborhood.
Today, the Wynwood neighborhood is recognized as a housing market busy with redevelopment activity creating a dynamically hip vibe.
In Wynwood, homes range from tiny, two-bedroom homes to good-sized, three- and four-bedrooms. Characteristically Floridian architectural styles include Art Deco, Vernacular Architecture and Mediterranean Revival, among others. Details vary from red tile roofs to wrought iron railings to limestone and terra cotta ornamentation.
You’ll also find renovated, ultra-modern lofts in the neighborhood and a picturesque multi-story live, work, and play condominium featuring furnished units, flex office space and street-level retail in the Wynwood Arts District.
Wynwood offers a prism of shopping, entertainment and cuisine choices.

Nightlife includes Miami’s first craft brewery, Wynwood Brewing Company. Taquerias, food halls and bars are always nearby, and you can catch live music or stand-up comedy at Gramp's unique pizza and cocktails venue.
Cherished eateries offer Mexican, Italian, Lebanese, Japanese cuisine and more, and feature picks such as The Salty Donut for unforgettable artisan donuts or Zak the Baker for avocado toast, soups and desserts at a hip, picture-worthy kosher bakery.

The neighborhood’s plentitude of exceptional attractions also includes the 3,200-square-foot Museum of Graffiti, the world’s first museum dedicated to sharing this art medium’s history. The Bakehouse Art Complex, housed in a repurposed industrial bakery, has been a creative incubator for over 30 years, nurturing around 100 artists in more than 60 studios.
At the weekly Wynwood Marketplace, hundreds of vendors offer fashion, food, music and art. Wynwood Marketplace is also the site of the annual Wynwood Life Festival, featuring dozens of Wynwood musicians, fashion shows and live artist exhibitions.

Essentials are within a short distance from home, at convenience marts and independent international markets. There’s a seemingly endless variety of cafes, bars, breweries and eateries around nearly every corner.
