Verified Renter Flamingo Apartments gives me a sense of security. During these trying times and before I have always commended The Flamingo in my mind in regards to I am fortunate to be in its community. We as neighbors are cordial to each other, yet respect each others privacy. The present management differently makes the difference in regards to the positive and attentive nature in following up with work orders and keeping professionalism circulating in all the common areas. Thank You Flamingo. One more thing, as a senior ... read more

Verified Renter When I first moved in I was very happy here Maintnance was done in a timely manner I had no complaints. However over the last few years management had changed numerous times and the quality of service had gone down. My biggest issue is that these apartments were advertised as luxury but yet the interior especially the kitchen counters and cabinets as well as in the bathroom and floors are made of extreamly cheap material and deterioration happens but at least in the past the building refused to fix it unless ... read more

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 wit... read more

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 ... read more

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 ... read more
