Challenges to Consider

❌ Noise & Activity
This is a lively neighborhood. Between nightlife, events, and ongoing construction, expect a little buzz at all hours.

❌ Limited Green Space
Wynwood’s strength is its art and architecture—not its parks or waterfront. For outdoor tranquility, you may need to drive.

❌ Mostly Mid- and High-Rise Living
If you’re looking for a yard or a single-family home, Wynwood isn’t your spot.

❌ Parking & Traffic
Street parking is limited, and traffic can spike during events and weekends.
