The Flamingo Apartments

I Love My Place! I just moved in and so far my place has been great, it's an older building and it's in the city, so yes, it has it's issues but nothing that has made me regret my decision. Pros: Maintenance comes within the day and fixes anything you need. The neighborhood is safe and well lit. The building is quiet and has a vintage charm, the outdoor poo is great, workout area is convenient, Hyde Park is walk-able and has plenty to do. I love 53rd street! Cons: Parking can be a war zone but I've never not found a spot within walking distance. Although I like the Bar Louie downstairs, it can get a little crazy on the weekends with noise and parking.

The flamingo My experience with my apartment has been pretty nice. The apartment company is very accommodating. The apartment itself is very small and the parking is very difficult at times. Overall I like the area but bar louie customers can sometime be disruptive in summer, the apartment company needs to keep a doorman, which they have occasionally.

Don't let the reviews scare you away! I was hesitant to schedule a visit to see Flamingo Apartments after reading the reviews on this site. However, I had to see for myself. I scheduled a visit with the assistant property manager, Kai and exactly 3 months later I was scheduled to move in. The pros, the Bar Louie downstairs, new property manager, updated apartments, close walk to lakefront, heated pool, workout room, incredible view from my apartment, very quick attention from maintenance, doorman, etc. The cons (because all buildings have these) is the parking. I wish the complex would give residents permits for the free parking because people going to Bar Louie and the beach often use our available spots on 55th street, but other than that I can't really complain. It's also Hyde Park so unless you plan to pay for a monthly permit, the parking shouldn't really come as a surprise. I love this building so far and after 2 months I still have no complaints!

Great Apartment, Great Neighborhood & Right On Lake! I have lived here for going on over a year and find it to be a great apartment. The building has character; it is well maintained and kept very nice. The one thing I really like as compared to other apartments is that you never, ever hear your neighbors -- the walls/floors/ceiling is very sound proof, plus the people that live in the building are very respectful and pleasant people. The front desk staff and management staff are always helpful and everything is always done in a timely manner. I have found it easy to park on the street -- which has been nice, because other places in the city that I have lived, it has been incredibly difficult to find street parking. Hyde Park is a very cool neighborhood, and living on the lake is amazing.

Love this place! this place is great, you should check it out and enjoy the happy life!
