Strata Wynwood

Management is not taking care of you fairly. I stayed there 1 year and I was not happy with the customer service when I have any concern about the community. All negative reviews here are true. I confirm all of them with my own experience. Stay away. Apartments are so noisy because Oasis, constructions around, Arlo Hotel, wynwood clubs, fire department cars and of course police cars all night. People smoke weed and/or any type of smoke in the pool and inside their unit. You can smell through AC inside your apartment. Bozzuto is a big company however they do not give importance any reviews here unfortunately. If they give impotence, they can make significant change about their team and can hire more professional and friendly people same time. Do not forget you cannot leave your balcony door open or enjoy your balcony or terrace because of noisy environment plus dusty neighborhood.

This building is run by petty tyrants and lawyers, not people who genuinely care about creating a positive environment and a strong community for their residents. Pros:
- Maintenance is very friendly and responsive
- Most of the appliances are high quality, good washer/dryers and refrigerators
- Free snacks and coffee in the lobby
- Extraordinarily high ceiling in the 5th floor units give them a luxurious, spacious feel
- Pool table in the common area
- You're in close walking distance from the heart of wynwood, which is growing by the week. The immediate surrounding area is a little sparse. You're at the edge of gentrification.
Neutrals:
- The common areas and decor are nice enough. Feels like a person with decent taste on a tight budget designed everything. Think Zara home.
- The wifi is the common areas is ok, not great.
- The pool and gym are both nice enough. Gym isn't good enough to cancel a gym membership but the machines they do have are high quality. No free-weight barbells. Pool isn't huge and isn't heated but it's decent.
- Tons of EV chargers, but the price is 4x market rate for electricity.
Cons:
- You are not allowed to make copies of your keys beyond one per resident through the leasing office which charges an exorbitant amount to do so. This makes having guests stay with you very challenging.
- Parking for guests is very expensive, $30/day
- For an entire week out of the year the building tests its fire alarm system nonstop from 9am-5pm. It’s insane and terrible.
- You can’t swim in the pool at night and if you wake up early and want to do laps at 5am they will come to kick you out
- It's right next to Oasis, a concert venue that has shows most weekend nights until the early hours of the morning. This is ok for us because we face the middle of the building but neighbors on the north side complain that they can't sleep because of the noise.
- The bedrooms have see-through window shades. This is bad for us because we face the floor of the pool deck where people grill and hang out until late at night. So we're forced to buy a $2,500 curtain installation that we'll never be able to use again (the windows are massive) so that people can't watch us sleep.
- The dishwashers in the units are really cheap and don't do a good job of cleaning the dishes - the building does not let you swap them. Be prepared to do a lot of handwashing in your $5k/month apartment
- The parking garage ramps are a little tight, especially with two cars trying to pass each out
- The water pressure in the showers is poor, even after replacing the showerhead with a top of the line one.
- For the first 1.5 months living here there were no blinds on the windows. We saw they weren't there when touring and were told they'd be installed by our move-in date. When the shipment was delayed, no restitution of any kind was offered. Temporary blinds were put up (after 3 weeks of the entire world having full visibility into our apartment) that could not be moved and had to be taped to the window with painters tape
- The building forces you to use their fetch service for packages, but it doesn't work for grocery or food deliveries. So depending on what you order you'll need to use two completely different addresses. And your shipping address and billing address will typically be different. If you order a lot of stuff it gets annoying. A better solution would just be to have an employee of the building, or the delivery person themself, drop packages at your door.

The building and amenities are beautiful here at Strata! It’s impressive how clean and well maintained they keep it. Everyone at the leasing office is great and easy to deal with. I really enjoy living here.

Strata is a great residential community. From the time I first viewed an apartment to now living here for 6 months, I’ve been extremely happy. The management, concierge, and maintenance staff are all so wonderful and friendly it really makes it feel like home. The building is really well maintained, they are always cleaning, fixing, keeping the building in good shape which I appreciate. It’s super pet friendly, and the residents are generally all very nice. Never any noise complaints. I love living here!

I was one of the first tenants to move into Strata back in April of 2022. I have little to no complaints and am actually super happy with the building. Pros:
- Great sized apartment square footage wise for the price. Especially when you compare it to the other, newer buildings in the area that have less sqft for a higher price and most have no balconies or have a view of you staring at wall.
- Nice amenities. The pool and gym are both a great size and something I use often
- Location. You are right at the edge of Wynwood, close to midtown, restaurants and bars, but also off to the side and not in the middle of the chaos that is NW 2nd Street.
- Maintenance. I would say this is one of the biggest pro's in my opinion. Whenever I have put in a maintenance request, no matter what it is, they are always very responsive and complete the request immediately; most times within the same day. I have lived in other apartment buildings in Miami and I can say that is usually not the case. There is also a good amount of preventative maintenance and cleaning that happens yearly which is nice.
- Property Management (Bozzuto). This is the second Bozzuto managed building I've lived in an they are by far the best. Most of the people on their team are super professional, helpful, and respond very quickly.
Cons:
- Construction. I will say one of the downsides living there. With construction happening to the left of the building and across the street partnered with occasional Oasis events, it sometimes makes it hard to drive down the side streets to access the garage. It can sometimes be pretty loud too but this isn't that big of a deal to me considering Miami is fast growing city and there is construction everywhere.
- Tenants in the building. I would say this is more of a newer complaint that I've noticed recently but it seems like people have  no respect for the community/shared areas of the buildings. People are letting their dogs pee/poop everywhere. There is constantly something spilled on the elevator floors that looks like people just dropped things and didn't bother to pick it up. I've seen trash in the hallway and right outside the trash chute just left there for someone else to clean.
- Noise. Recently, the building has been the loudest it has ever been. Seems like new people with dogs have moved in my hallway and their dogs are constantly barking/crying and I can hear it in my apartment. There are also times that people are  loud in the middle of the night while the are walking down the hallways, at the pool, etc.

Beautiful amenities and friendly staff

The move in transition went smooth. Staff is friendly and welcoming. One year later...
*Not worth paying almost $4k/ month.
Steam shower went from being  down once or twice a month to once or twice a week.
The "heated pool" is not warm when those 50°s.
No concierge for your food delivery after 11:00 p.m. you have to come down and get it .
I used to think this is the best bldg in the area but its gone downhill.
*shootout to maintenance team, they get the work done quickly.

Moving into the strata was a breeze, thanks to Luna's exceptional assistance! From the moment we expressed interest in living here, Luna guided us through the entire process with ease and professionalism. Her attention to detail and prompt communication made the transition seamless and stress-free. We're beyond thrilled to be living in such a wonderful community, and Luna's dedication truly made all the difference. Highly recommend!

I am a firm believer in celebrating one's greatness, and the experience I have had working with Luna has been exactly that. Her guest centric mentality is incredible and her extensive knowledge of the building, it's amenities, and the surrounding area, made me feel at home from the moment I walked into the building. It's rare to find someone that is able to be both professional and personable, so much that I never felt like a potential resident touring an apartment building, Luna made me feel like I was part of her community from the first hello.
You are very fortunate to have Luna representing the building and the Bozutto Brand!

As a former resident, the front desk staff and security team are amazing, but the management company is terrible to work with and this becomes pretty apparent during the move out process. Initially, everything seemed great, but it’s kind of a bait and switch to get people in the door. As many of the other reviewers have mentioned, there are many additional fees, and you’re pretty much treated like a number. There are other good housing alternatives in the area for what you are paying. I would avoid if you can!
