Summary

Moda North Bay Village is a 285-unit, 8-story waterfront rental building on the North Bay Village islands between Miami and Miami Beach, built in 2015 and managed by Waypoint. Two resort-style pools, a waterfront promenade with complimentary kayaks and paddleboards, and a 24-hour gym anchor an amenity set built around the Biscayne Bay views. Residents consistently praise helpful leasing and maintenance staff, but recent reviews describe frequent elevator outages, uneven common-area cleaning and package theft as the building's most persistent problems.
