Communities

AVOID! the management company is dishonest and disrespectful. the building itself is gross. IT SMELLS!! not only is there an insane wait time for the elevators the freight elevator has been broken for weeks so good luck getting anything moved in or out of the building. They showed up unannounced to the apartment to fix a water issue. TWICE. they destroyed property and trespassed by entering the apartment without consent. did i mention personal property was damaged. this is after a rat problem and a separate cock-a-roach issue. two young children live in the apartment and at this point it is unsafe and unsanitary. shame on the flamingo and its management.

Run as far away as possible from this trashy racket.Hidden fees galore, charging fees for an appliance that broke 2 weeks into moving in at no fault of my own, and took a MONTH to replace, your security deposit will be more of a fee you'll never get back regardless of the condition of your unit, security is rude and disrespectful, staff has no idea what the hell their own rules are, and good luck getting anyone on the phone if you have any issues.the community attracts the riffraff of the world, don't let them fool you into thinking the center tower is any nicer, it might look it but it's the same quality as the other 2 buildings which are only a level up from hostels but just as dirty, rats and dog crap everywhere is a regular sight. You like sleep? Say goodbye to that too, with people fighting on balconies and on occasion trying to push each other off of them at freaking 4 am.Smoke free you say? Nope I can smell the smoke seeping into my apt, the fire alarms go off almost every day because someone is hotboxing their apt it's at a point where no one takes it seriously, should there be an actual fire and someone gets injuried aimco has a liability lawsuit on their handsOh also you can't receive packages unless you pay a monthly subscription for a lockbox.Aimco don't bother replying to this (not like you would have done anything in the first place) i already handed my notice to break my lease and even though it seems like it's going to cost me a fortune, i will happily pay it to get out of this massive motel, but i will make sure the building's reputation is accurate to any respective tenants.

Balcony views are good. The grounds look OK, but never even think about taking pictures of someone (even your relative) there with anything bigger than your phone (if it looks like a photoshoot to them - know: you, Instagram addicts are not welcome there, they'll only tolerate you if you're using the phone). They'll call the police on you. Not joking. Police will come surprised why the heck they were asked to show up. 68 pages long lease agreement does not mention you can't take pictures anywhere outside of the apartment you're renting, it doesn't mention photography at all.The number they show as what you'll be paying is a few hundred dollars below what you'll really be paying. They charge separately for garbage disposal, for light in the hallways, for the electronic door lock, for parking even one car (they tell upfront about the car though), for God knows what - it's 2 to 5 hundred more than what you signed the lease for - be ready, have some room in your budget. Pushy greedy bastards.

I am sorry to say that my experience with Flamingo Point Residence apartment in Miami Beach has been extremely unsatisfactory and frustrating. As a resident, I have faced numerous issues that have not been resolved by the management.From the first day, I moved in, the flash in the toilet did not work, and it took them three days to fix it, despite the management's assurance that the apartment was completely renovated and everything was new. However, the problem continued to persist, and it was just the beginning of a series of frustrating experiences.On one occasion, someone brought trash in front of my door and left it there, which happened twice. When I reported the incident to the management, they ignored my complaint and did not even let me see the camera records to catch the person who harassed me. The issue was never resolved, and I felt extremely unsafe in the complex.Another significant problem arose when I lost my expensive package because the management was not able to provide a safe place for deliveries. Despite my complaints, they never even tried to help me find my package, which was a huge disappointment.The management team at Flamingo Point is extremely rude and unprofessional, and it doesn't matter how many times you request to talk to the general manager or someone in a higher position. They will never be in contact with you and will completely ignore your complaints, putting all responsibilities on the maintenance team. The leasing office may be polite until you sign the lease, but after that, they become rude, disrespectful, and very unprofessional.Recently, my AC has not been working properly, and it has been two weeks since I first reported the issue. The maintenance team has tried to fix it several times, but it still does not work. Instead, they put an old, noisy, temporary AC in my apartment, which doesn't work properly at all, and the temperature inside the apartment is 78 degrees Fahrenheit. When I asked them to change it, they completely ignored me, and I have been living in horrible, health-threatening conditions for the last two weeks. They informed me that the AC company representatives would come once on Monday, which means I have to survive in 78-80 F temperature for another two days. Also I emailed several times and never got response from officials of Flamingo Point. Despite my repeated requests to talk to managers, they have never called me back or emailed me with an official response or apology. When I talked to the maintenance guy, he said he could not do anything to fix the AC. This kind of service is unacceptable, especially considering the high rent I pay of $4000 for a one-bedroom apartment.I highly do not recommend anyone to live here at all. Flamingo Point has the worst management I have ever seen in my life. Despite the management saying the property is secured you can see a lot of strangers inside the complex, especially in the pool area, which is very concerning. The nice and polite management representatives are all fake, and they literally do not care about you after you sign the lease. I urge everyone to read the reviews on Yelp and Google, which are true and with evidence. I did not read the reviews and it was my mistake. Flamingo Point is a terrible place to live only cause of horrible management , with a 2.5 rating that speaks for itself. In conclusion, if you are considering signing a lease with Flamingo Point, please read the reviews carefully before deciding. For the price they charge, the management must provide excellent luxury service, as they represent themselves on their site. Unfortunately, it is all lies. Flamingo Point has terrible management and service, and it is not worth the money you will spend.I hoped to find peace and new home when I moved here but instead of I found rudeness and disrespect and unprofessional approach from the management. So disappointing

Dog waste everywhere. Unlighted pathways mean you use your cell phone light to look out for land mines left by four-legged friends. Long, long (sometimes rainy) walk from North parking lot to South building. Constant construction noise. Dirty, rundown hallways, and on, and on .... This place is a dump!

If I could put less 10 stars, I would ... -elevators : 15 minutes sometimes to get out of your home when you're late at work ... - cleaning : sometimes trashes for days stay out of the trash chute. The staff must be exhausted, the manager as well. Zero checking about how work is done. - walls of paper : you can hear when you're neighbor moves out of his bed. So you can imagine for the rest .. - Security rudeness : you are a client before anything else. The security yells at you. Last minute update in the non sense of flamingo : you can't get in with uber so please carry your 3 packs of water on your head. The rudeness of this staff shows how the management is NOT doing is job. Service industry in United States is a very very picky world. As an foreigner I am chocked to see people acting this way with CLIENTS. Yes we are clients ! UNSATISFIED WITH A SERVICE WE PAY. - no more basket ball court, no more volleyball court : flamingo is where everything starts but nothing finishes. - many emails to management, never one answer they literally don't care about you. - FPL bill and electricity bill with flamingo so you pay twice ..never saw this anywhere else - one more time : ATTITUDE FROM SECURITY. You going home and you're being disrespected : I don't think that's normal - pools closing very often sometimes without notice .. just like that ! The building has the potential to be the best on this side of the beach : the amenities are supposed to be great but unfortunately this big thing flamingo needs a LOT of work to be better. Apparently people in charge right now can't handle it. I won't renew my lease...

Title: Deceptive Practices and Unfair Charges: A Review Air CommunitiesRating: (1/5)I recently had the displeasure of dealing with Air Communities, and my experience has been nothing short of disappointing. From the deceptive advertising to the questionable fees, it's clear that transparency and customer satisfaction are not their top priorities.Upon initially considering Air Communities for our housing needs, we were drawn in by their seemingly attractive advertisements. Unfortunately, what appeared to be a reputable and transparent company was quite the opposite. The advertised rental costs were just the tip of the iceberg, as we soon discovered hidden fees and charges that were never mentioned during the contract signing.Firstly, their advertisement failed to mention the extent of utility charges. Once we moved in, we were slapped with unexpected utility extra fees we never even knew that it was a practice to charge or even legal. This lack of transparency not only led to financial strain but also left us feeling deceived and misled.Even more egregious is the company's attempt to charge for normal wear and tear of the unit. It's not uncommon for properties to experience some wear and tear over time, but attempting to pass these costs onto tenants is both unethical and legally questionable. Charging for routine maintenance and upkeep that falls under the landlord's responsibility is a clear breach of trust.Adding insult to injury, Air Communities has implemented a cleaning fee that seems excessive and unjustifiable. Cleanliness should be expected as part of any rental arrangement, and charging tenants an additional fee for basic cleaning services is both unreasonable and exploitative, given the fact we left the apartment in better condition than what we found it.The overall lack of transparency and the attempt to charge for normal wear and tear and cleaning services make it clear that Air Communities prioritizes profit over customer satisfaction. Prospective tenants should beware of this company's deceptive practices, and I strongly advise looking elsewhere for a more honest and tenant-friendly community management service.

The worst building management I have ever dealt with. I have had constant mold problems in my apartment. Also, the shelves keep falling off the walls and management completely ignores our requests to fix both. DO NOT MOVE IN HERE

Lived there for over 5 years ,dealt with two different management teams. Very disorganized and dishonest about all of their hidden fees. South tower had mold issues ,I complained many times all they would do is paint over it. I left the apt immaculate ,yet still have the courage to charge me for re painting the apt after I left it ,the way it was given to me 5 plus years ago. Now management won't answer my calls or emails. Do no move here! Leasing office is only nice until you sign that lease ,then they throw you to the curb. Roaches all over !! Inspect your apt thoroughly

This building is always doing construction. It is so loud and disruptive to the residents. All these amenities are frequently closed so they can remodel them again, most of the time to make them worse. You'll always be walking through a construction site. Worst of all, this building is owned by the most unethical company on the planet. They have been terminating leases to get people out of their leases early so they can double their rent. Meanwhile everyone has to suffer with very loud noise all day and are being kicked out of their homes. Stay away from this building.

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME HERE. Horrible customer service, they won't be nice to you. I drove one hour to tour this building, upon arrival the Leasing Agent (he never introduced himself) working on Sunday, April 28th let me know that the townhomes advertised as available on their website were NOT available, then I proceed to ask about other floor plans and he was plain rude as if I was an inconvenience there. He told me his availability was very limited even though that's not what the website says. No, thank you... I will take my business elsewhere. If they treat their prospective customers that way, just imagine after you move-in to the building. Read the reviews, their current residents say the management is awful and my experience today can validate what they say. This guy was beyond unprofessional and unfriendly.

24/7 someone is blasting bass through a subwoofer. I email management about it every day and they do nothing about it. I haven't slept in over a week. It's the worst form of torture. Do not move in here if you value peace and quiet.

Don't move here!!! I wouldn't recommend living here to my worst enemy. Don't let the new lobby or beautiful pool or landscape trick you into thinking this place isn't an infested with roaches, bedbugs, drug dealers, prostitutes, illegal aliens, strippers and bartenders and other filthy night crawlers. I am so terrified of these bugs getting into my place as I see soiled mattresses all over the place in this building covered with filth. As for the people, I do not feel safe amongst many of the residents here. There are decent people with honorable professions scattered throughout the building because they were deceived into living here just as we were. The walls here are paper thin so you'll here every second of debauchery going on with your neighbors every day of the week till all hours of the night and morning. The management company and leasing company have done nothing to fix this issue, as they continue to lease to their trashy friends and perpetuate the filthy flamingo culture of escorts and drug dealers. The management company has zero interest in changing the image of the building and holding on to clean cut residents who hold high level jobs who made the mistake of moving here. The management company also will never ever answer the phone. They won't even provide an extension in their email signature because they don't want to be reached. They take approximately 6 hours to 3 days to respond to emails. Once you decide to give your final notice to move out, the management company comes after you in efforts to not give your security deposit back. I received 3 false complaint notices which would lead to a fine shortly after giving my final notice I will not renew my lease. #1 was I was not allowed to have a pet who I've had registered and paid extra for since I've moved in. Another was for taking my bike through the lobby (service elevator is closed in mornings). They will look for every excuse to take money from you and scare away any decent people living here. I'm so excited to move to a true luxury building next month and escape the worst most hellacious time of my life which is living in the flamingo. On a positive note the maintenance staff are hard working wonderful people and they do a great job and respond quickly!

I don't recommend this place at all, starting by they leasing consultant JEZEBEL RAMIREZ, she is one of the most rude, unprofessional, nasty employee. Every time I come to the office (3 times only) she smacks her desktop, raise her voice, whips his things on the desk and insults... SHE IA NKT HELPFUL AT ALL and she is giving a really bad reputation to this nice building. I'm leaving this place for this fact and many more, I had to broke my contract because I couldn't take it anymore.She is smiling faces till you sign a contract, then she treated you like actual garbage, or at least that's how se treat us every time we are there, including the manager.

It's a great property at a great location but security is horrible (they let anyone in the complex) and in the last two months there have been two shootings and a stabbing (google it) . Management doesn't appear to be doing anything about it. Wish they would. Kinda thinking of moving out.

Do NOT move here!!! Amenities and location are some of the nicest on South Beach, however, the building itself is terrible. You can hear every single little noise through the walls, ceiling above, and floor below. We have made several complaints to management over the past 6 months. We are extremely disturbed because we heard about this place through a loyal tenant of 5 years, our uncle, yet management hasn't done anything to improve our situation. We've gotten to the point where we have ordered ear plugs, a sound machine and even proved to management how many times we have called 'the complaint center' (the number of times in the last 6 months is literally UNBELIEVABLE). We have already contacted a lawyer who has taken the matter into his hands. This place is out of control. Management is not responsive, and ESPECIALLY for how expensive this place is to live, they do NOTHING but IGNORE. If you want nice views, amenities and location, there are plenty other options in South Beach!

The building is beautiful, apartments are very nice. But I would never recommend to rent from them. The management is terrible, they create problems for people living there making it stressful. Ignoring service requests for a long time. Employees on reception don't know their job. Finally, I moved out and not getting my deposit back on the right time just because someone made mistake in the office. The whole experience is stressful

Where do I begin... I rented at The Flamingo this summer for just over 2 months (Yes, AirBnb & Rentals are allowed in the South Tower if they are 30+ nights) and I could not wait to get out of this corrupt community. The south tower security & management are helpful, and actually do try to make things right for residents when something is wrong. (South Tower security & management is different from center & north towers). Also, personally I never had a problem with rats/bugs in my tower, apartment. The South Tower pool is also not bad & location is prime. Let's start with the whole "Pet Friendly" concept. NOTHING against dogs "I have 2 myself," but the residents here simply allow their dogs to go to the bathroom wherever they please around the property, most not picking up after them which leaves the outside premises, especially the courtyard, always smelling like dog feces. Cannot tell you how many times I would see people distracted on their phones while their dogs urinated in the middle of walkways and they simply don't do a thing about it. Next, we'll move onto security. The security here is absolutely horrible. My two dogs would keep this place more safe than they do. First, the Miami Beach/Dade County PD/FD are called on-site almost daily. I saw people get taken out of building ons stretchers weekly. One guy was screaming, fighting police & they had him strapped down onto the stretcher, and once I even saw a woman in my building lobby with her face covered in blood (hope everything ended up okay). I chose the option to pay for valet monthly, instead of self-parking. Twice during my stay, security told me valet was full and I had to find parking somewhere else, where each time I had to pay $20 to park in a alternative garage and then was refused to be reimbursed by the complex, even though I paid almost $300 a month to have unlimited valet privileges. And to put the cherry on-top, with about 2 weeks left in my stay, the new security team (first day I saw them on site) shut the front gate on the back of my car, causing almost $1300 in damage. When talking to them about this you could tell they didn't care, wanted nothing to do with it & told me they each "saw and heard nothing." Head of security was somewhat helpful the following day, but still did not resolve anything. Lastly, the management team. These people all look like they dislike their jobs, do not treat residents with respect & frankly do not do what they should be to help keep the complex functioning in a efficient manner. Speaking to management in-person is always a ordeal because there is a line/30-45 min wait because everyone has issues at this place. Anything wrong they always point you to someone else just to get it out of their hands, knowingly. When approaching them about my car damage, they told me to talk to the police, so I did. The police told me since it was a civil matter, and no crime was committed they did not need to be involved, and I quote the officer, "It's sad because The Flamingo grounds are in fact nice, it's just not run with professionalism or integrity." I am still in the process of getting my car damage settled, but it's difficult when you email management twice, as well as leaving 2 voicemails and nothing is returned. In the end, it "did the job" for my small amount of time, but I would NOT recommend to anyone. I always feel so bad when I see people moving in.

sick management and gross leaking dirty smelly building with rats and roaches. the management was supposed to fix my flooding but ransacked it and destroyed my shelf of antique books in the process by moving everything to quickly. Tons of expensive signed books ended up in a puddle of bathroom water!!!!

Do you know what is the definition of Regret ? FLAMINGO !!! They offer you 1single dollar for a month lease plz DONOT TAKE IT " cos it is waste of a dollar "Worst living environment ! Smells all the time : no matter what ! Smells poopy , smells like dog peeing , smells weed all over the place !!They charge you for every thing literally " except O2 "!!! Cos they cant!! Rude , slow , construction suppose to take only 3 months, and it took place since 2016 and still on going ! Tho it is very enjoyable !!! Wake up 6 am and a compressor hammer is working right next to your door!! Dont know what to write , think about anything , and it is wrong in this place ! Enjoy your life wherever, just not here in flamingo - take it from me Aslo, i don't know if even you know about me or not - but i did this review to help some people who may consider !If you are interested to follow up, I already brought the topic to the table & this should be enough to take care of issues !

Absolute garbage community; avoid like the plague: --when I moved in, no one would help me figure out where anything was or how anything worked--the gym is 'at the back of the garage by the valet' even though, no, it's nowhere near the valet and 'the back of the garage' is not accessible except randomly from the 6th floor (no signage or any other materials to help explain this)--packages get lost or stolen constantly due to poorly set up package lockers and negligent staff; the sprinkler system turned on due to an issue caused by the construction, an entire locker bank was frozen and I never got my package that was in there--when the lockers get overloaded, the staff let FedEx and others just dump packages in the open room where construction crews can grab anything and make no effort to ensure packages are safe --doing something basic like reserving the freight elevator is impossible because the omnipresent construction crews act like they own the place and the management does nothing to stop them blocking every entrance and doing whatever they want --frequent elevator outages and utility outages due to constant construction or poor maintenance--if you want to have someone move in, or enable them to access the elevators without you, you have to add them to the lease as if it was a brand new application and plunk down $1400 for them to even consider it, and they can just say no and keep your money --lobby staff is useless and does not take security seriously; people are walking in and out all the time, yet randomly they'll pick actual guests of residents to harass --nosy and incompetent security comes and randomly knocks on my door at 7am, 1030pm, 1am to stop OTHER PEOPLE'S PARTIES' or to randomly look for a package that someone lost --when they clean a common area, they just close off the elevators with no prior warning and rudely send you back upstairs with no accommodation or explanation of how you're supposed to get where you need to be

Avoid Avoid Avoid Avoid!!!! Please read this review and trust it 100% honest and contact me if you need further qualification as I will be have to give. The place is filled with party goers and others alike so mark my words you will have no rest in this place. If you need help from manage to sort anything out for you... well it will take a while until they make a move. Neighbours are loud and all dog owners are pigs letting their dogs piss in elevators, carpets and all common areas. Asked management to look into it and to my surprise they were no aware of it.... maybe they should get out of their office and check their disgusting building. The pool, looks beautiful but the lack of control attracts major crowds from outside of the building so you end up paying for others to enjoy your pool. During season it is impossible to go to the pool as it is full of people from the entire Miami Beach. It's just crazy. I am in the middle of my lease and cannot wait to leave this place. Not worth the money as you pay a prime price for thin walls and floors so you know exactly what you neighbours are up to. DO NOT THINk OF MOVING TO THIS PLACE! Overpriced and badly managed! You will get no rest here.

This is the worst option you can choose if you are going to rent and are looking for peace of mind in your home. I moved here 4 months ago and it was the worst decision I could have made. THEY DO NOT RESPECT THE RESIDENT and violate their rights. If you are going to move here, be prepared to listen to construction noises and dust for a long time, because they don't mind tearing down the apartment next door. You have to endure the noise and the hammer in your ears. Thats the reality ! Not to mention that they take money from you for anything that should be free or a right as a guest. If your rent is $3000, prepare to pay $400 or $500 more, every month. Between park, gym, storage room, electricity insurance, condominium insurance, and I don't know how many other insurances. ATTENTION FOR HORRIBLE CUSTOMER. Never rent here!

Worst investment of my life! La peor invercion de mi vida! . Terrible Place

I will say in spanish. Disappointed with the increase in rent every time you renew it, no parking included, dog excrement and urine everywhere: in the elevators, in the hallways, which by the way are always dirty and carpeted, which makes them even worse because the Dogs urinate there and in almost 3 years that I have lived there, they have never been cleaned. My apartment is always dripping, the washer dryer does not wash well, it is very old. I've been lucky to have calm neighbors but you can hear everything, even when they have sex. The staff in the offices have always treated us well. I have no complaints about them. But there are many things that definitely need to be improved. After reading so many bad reviews, I no longer know what to expect when my lease ends. Please flamingo people, be more demanding with cleanliness. It really is unbearable to walk inside and see or pick up dog feces. It's dirtier than outside. It can not be possible

ZERO STARS. EDITED SEE BELOW Mixed feelings about this place. A lot of the reviews here are somewhat true. The walls aren't thin, but the ceilings and floors are. I can hear my upstairs neighbors TV and conversations. Also, there are definitely people subleasing to tourists in violation of their lease terms. A quick search on air BNB will show you that. Additionally, no one warned me that it's a full 5 minute walk from the south tower condos to the parking garage. EDIT: SO I wrote this review 2 years ago, and my opinions have definitely changed. No one leashes their dogs on the property, and my sweet gentle giant has now been attacked more than once. The construction workers are also rude. The parking is expensive, but you can never find parking during the day because the construction workers occupy all of the spots. Also, my apartment has roaches and no one has done anything to remedy the issue. The staff was very rude about my service animal, and I almost had to sue because of it. I can't wait to leave. If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. Do not lease here.

It has been 2 years and issues were never resolved. Never received return of pet deposit or parking fee paid although we NEVER entered the garage or occupied the unit. Since then, I have visited friends in the building and conditions are more deplorable. Used condoms and feces are on all grassy areas and outdoor walkways. The indoor hallways are filthy and you can hear loud music and domestic disputes as you walk down the hallways, trying to avoid dog feces, puddles of urine, and human vomit; a drunk resident vomited in an elevator. The prostitute who was with him asked to be paid even though she wasn't going to "complete their transaction"---there were at least 10 prostitutes in the lobby. The whole place smells like weed and people are openly drinking vodka from glass bottles at pool, smoking weed and cigarettes, and snorting coke. Security is rude before they let you in, but then oblivious to what is going on in common areas and inside the units. This place is an embarrassment to South Beach. Should be demolished and replaced with the old Morton Towers.

THEY ARE IRRESPONSIBLE AND LIARS, DO A FAVOR TO YOURSELF AND RUN AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. Feel free to email me for all the details so you keep your emotional an mental health.

To choose this complex for living was a big mistake! For paying not a cheap price for 1 bedroom apartment we are suffering from bugs all over our place for almost 6 months! Additional to that we have neighbors that have parties till 5 am twice a week with loud music, smoking weed and etc. stay away from this place!!!!!

Dirty and disgusting! Not sure why anyone would want to live here.

ROACH INFESTED!!!!!!! It's not every apartment, but they leased me my apartment knowing it had an infestation and failed to fix the problem. Having moved from out of town, I couldn't see it until move-in day and now here we are. The exterminator comes every other day but the problem is too big so nothing helps. Fingers crossed they'll transfer me to another unit as soon as possible. It's disgusting and unsanitary!!

we have quite a few friends who live in other buildings in south beach who are very happy. Here at Flamingo Point almost all the tenants hate it and cannot wait for their leases to end and we now know why. Only reason we moved here is because it was easy, Flamingo always seems to have vacant apartments whereas other building have little or nothing open. Price wise Flamingo is more expense, no question. The remodel they did is nice. We came to look at an apartment and they had had 8 vacant units to show us. I repeat vacant. We saw all the horrible reviews and when we talked to other building managers they are all aware how bottom of the barrel Flamingo Point is. They say that Flamingo Point needs to rip people off, its ROI (return on investment), the owners are bending tenants over to get their investment back from the remodel. Pretty funny. Further, majority of buildings in south beach and in Miami include a parking space and the gym, not Flamingo. You pay for parking, you pay if you want to use the gym, and tons of other little random charges each month. I am surprised they don't charge for the overcrowded pool lol. Also, there are so many dogs parts of the common areas smell like a sewer. You need a gas mask to walk around on some hot days. Many other better building to live at in the area, avoid this place at all costs. Also, thin walls, you can here neighbors having sex and people are regularly having loud parties on their balconies. I have recently seen pimps walking prostitutes in the building and waiting outside downstairs talking to people selling drugs. It's a wild scene, no dull moments at Flamingo Point Apartments.

DO NOT BE FOOLED AND MOVE HERE. It is as bad as the reviews reveals. The management is worse than you can imagine. They do not care about customer service and forget about making an agreement with them - even when they sign the agreement - they will not care about keeping it. One friend got a notice 3 days prior to move in, only because he contacted them himself because there was still light in the apartment, that they forgot to tell him that the previous renter didn't move out, so he could not move in - Flamingo denied to take any responsibility. Twice before that they tried to rent him apartments that was under eviction, which means they could not guarantee the agreed move in date and whether it was actually ever going to be available as the current renter could still stay if he paid the rent, which he was first told weeks after he had put in his application. That is the level of incompetence you are dealing with here - be warned. Everybody makes mistakes, but it is how you handle those mistakes that matters and Flamingo do not take their responsibility for any of the mistakes they make. Forget about being a longtime tenant here as they do not want you to stay - that is the truth. The people working in the leasing office get commission when renting out the apartments so do you really think they want you to stay rather than have a fresh supply of apartments they can rent out? They put up the rent by $200 dollars per month for every single contract even though no maintenance or improvement has been done. They will try to fool you and say that it is the market price dictated by the head office while you can go on their website and see the exact same apartment a few floors higher being rented out several hundreds of dollars cheaper. Yes that is right, your renewal price will be higher than the price for the same apartment listed on their website just so they can get you out and take your deposit. Had this happen to everyone I know here including myself. One friend is just about to leave as they once again raised his rent so it is now $400 dollars more than the same apartment many floors higher that is currently listed on their website. They do this to everyone, so do not think there is some special circumstances involved, it is their policy. Elevators often breaks down and take forever to get fixed. People tend to piss in them as well as the dogs, and watch your steps as there is poop everywhere. So if you like a fresh smell of urine in the morning or poop under your feet this place might be for you. There is some serious vacation rental going on in this place and people come and go all the time and do not behave or treat the place as if it was their own home. It is like a big hostel and management completely ignores the problem. I feel a bit sorry for the security guards even though most of them do not do their job, as people tend to be very rude to them when they actually try to do their job, which quickly discourages them. You will meet the worst kind of people here, and you should expect people partying every single night. Forget about having a job - except if you are a promoter or stripper like everyone else. They advertise their expensive apartments in the Center Tower as having wood flooring, which is false advertising as they in fact have cheap synthetic vinyl (plastic) flooring. Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), also known as vinyl is a synthetic plastic material and among the most inexpensive type of flooring you can get for a good reason, and obviously has nothing to do with real organic wood. I hope they get hit by a class action law suit because of this deliberate deception. Try to do searches on google combining words like "vinyl, PVC, poison, toxic, dioxin" - and ask your self again whether yo really want to live here? You better pray that a fire never occurs and you don't breath in any fumes - but by looking at some of the residents living here it is easy to imagine. It can seem like a nice place at first glance but hopefully you think twice and listen to some of the reviews.

I am counting the days down till I leave this place. Everyone in the place all talks about the HIDDEN FEES that up to $300ISH every month, this is no joke. My rent is $2,050 and every month I'm billed $2385 ( tax on parking , pest control , water , sewer , gas, monthly building fee , electric (even though you pay FPL as well, double whammy) and trash. The fire alarm will go off every day so if you work from home good luck . Police are at the building at least twice a day for a murder, someone getting stabbed, someone that over dosed and when you talk to the police they say to move out this place is bad haha. Im from the midwest and i have never seen a building ran so poorly. I mean look at every review, they are all horrible. Then someone will response to my commment and say " oh I'm so sorry for your experience etc" . Save your comment because its just a huge lie. Save your money don't move into Flamingo for anyone that reads this all the reviews are the TRUTH.

Terrible terrible management. They don't care about your personal effects. If you can avoid renting here I recommend you do. My sisters place had some water damage. They showed up "to fix it" unannounced. They trashed the apartment. Threw out her wedding album and photos because they weren't carful when moving the furniture and it fell into the water amongst other items that were destroyed !!

The management company AIMCO are a bunch of thieves! They stole my deposit and did not return it because I had to break my lease for military orders. The WORSTTTTTTTTTTTTT place I have ever lived. Dog crap all long the hallways and elevators and the staff for AIMCO are the RUDEST people I have ever met! DO NO CONSIDER MOVING TO THE FLAMINGO SOBE!

Flamingo point gave me 60 day notice While I signed lease mid April for 23 month Starting June 29/21 approximately $180 increase. Then they decided they want more money for Apartment . They said I could move back for $800 more after 2 month , while they refurbished a perfect apartment In not need of Necessary construction. This is unethical Money Grab , we are talking about a place that had 2 of 4 Elevators out of service approximately 4 Years in 1 of 3 North Tower

This place is honestly pretty gross. The entire property smells like urine, all towers (even the new one) are infested with cockroaches, and the creepy staff makes my girlfriend feel unsafe. Management is checked out and completely useless. The leasing company will reach into your pocket at every turn - charging you for frivolous things like reserving an elevator to move in. This place is a lawsuit waiting to happen; STAY FAR FAR AWAY.

8:20 a.m. another day drilling and making tremendous noise before 9:00 a.m (like the management office and residents agreed after hundreds of complains) When is really this construction having at least a little bit of respect for residents? Why do I have to wake up every day with a headache? I am counting my days for this lease to be over and I will make sure nobody moves here ever!!!!!!!!!!! This place is under huge renovations, they are not "remodeling" like they say when you move here they are literally demolishing the building until 2022! Don't move here, this will be the BIGGEST mistake of your life!

The biggest headache I ever had. I would never ever live here.... the worst and unhelpful stuff - insane security ... they make everything too complicated.... rude af... it's overpriced and cold on the halls... Good luck to live in Flamingo.

AVOID THIS PLACE. THEY NICKEL AND DIME YOU FOR EVERYTHING AND THE MANAGEMENT IS TERRIBLE. THEY DON'T LISTEN TO RESIDENT FEEDBACK.1.Prior to move in they don't tell you that your utilities are pooled with the entire community so you're not just paying for your usage but much rather everyone's trash, water, electric, gas, sewer and pest control so its impossible to know what those monthly costs will be until you get the bill. This may have been okay if I had known about it but they just completely left that part out. 2.The basketball court is there but you can't use it. It's not like the hoops don't have nets.. there are literally no hoops on the backboards. When I asked the staff and the management as to why this was they told me it was because random people would come in and use the court. That sounds like a security problem, not something that paying residents should have to be penalized for. They still advertise their basketball court on their flyer though so this screams false advertising!! 3.The security was so unsecured that someone was able to get into the garage and spray paint multiple cars! Oh and let's not forget the time that they towed my car. 4.They just upgraded to biometrics security so you have to scan a key fob or use your fingerprint to get in the buildings. This would be great but oh you live in center tower and want to go to the food market in north tower? Well you're gonna have to bang on the door until the front desk person lets you in because your biometrics won't work for any building but yours. Oh and if no ones at the desk you'll have to wait for what could be 30 minutes just to get in. So much for community.. we're all separated. Wanna go to the pool? Same thing with the desk or you can walk alllllll the way around the building. After a long day at work I want ease not hassle. 5.Now for the pool its great its beautiful but you want to have guests? Only 2 guests allowed. You need to go to the restroom? You're gonna have to take all of your guests with you because they will kick them out if you're not there. 6.Your mother is visiting you from out of town and you have to go to work? Well you better be there when she arrives because they made mine stand outside in the rain for an hour, never called to notify me she was there, and wouldn't let her sit in the lobby all because she had a suitcase! 7.If you have a guest staying more than one day they make you get a guest pass which is fine it lets your guest get in and out of the building.. but that's it. You have to pay $25 for this pass (that you can only obtain when management is open) and your guest can't even go to the pool without you. Where does all my rent money go if I have to pay to have my guests come over!! 8.Maintenance had it's ups and downs. They would come in and fix my blinds every month because the blinds would snap like twigs but anything more than that they couldn't really handle. My air conditioner didn't work on the auto setting and they didn't know how to fix it so the whole year I lived there I would constantly be fussing with turning it on and off. My ice machine made really bad tasting ice and they told me to contact miami beach because it was a water issue. Mind you the tap water from the sink tastes fine. Clearly it just needed a new refrigerator filter but he refused to change it. 9.Last month they came in to test all of the fire sprinklers and they were so careless that they ripped my shower curtain. The job was also left unfinished and messy so they had to come back a week later and finish. 10.There was also no regard to the fact that people actually live in these apartments because there were always workers gathered around my apartment door in the morning talking because one of their work closets was right next to my door. 11.You better get ready to wait long periods of time for the elevator because at least one of the 3 is always broken. 12.Some of these complaints might seem minor but when you're paying over $2000 every month in rent you expect everything to be in tip top shape and to be treated with respect.13.When I finally moved out last week I was so happy to be free from such terrible management. But now I just got slapped with additional painting charges on top of the cleaning charge they force you to pay. You better leave your apartment better than you found it because they will charge you if you leave it in the same condition that you found it in. When I moved in there were scuff marks and holes in the walls. I had to put in my own request that the holes be filled in and cleaned all the scuff marks. At move out, they still charged me for scuff marks. You would think with paying 2x the monthly rent to break the lease early that they would be able to cover a little bit of paint but nope they're gonna charge you $260 to paint a few scuff marks. 14.You and your happiness do not mean a thing to this place. You are literally just a monthly check to them.

Thanks God they broke the lease for us by renovating North Tower. We were deceived by their own leasing agent Gabriel who lied when telling us information about the apartment. He told us and wrote on a piece of paper all the fees, parking 80$ renters insurance 14$ Trash, sewer, water 25-35$!!!!!! Electricity and internet on our own Gym 60$ He wrote this 2x on two separate times we saw him. I have never paid sewer etc so I didn't have any suspicion about what their leasing agent Gabriel wrote. We signed the contract and there was no specific number but Gabriel did say many times it is 25-35$. We wanted to know what exactly are we gonna pay monthly. So imagine our surprise when we saw the bill for 184$ monthly. That made our monthly rent 1880$ instead of 1730$ which we signed up for. If we knew we would never sign the lease! We called and complained to management, Aimco, utilities providers but it is no one's fault. Gabriel has been avoiding us ever since we signed the lease. I can't believe we were lied to by their own agent. Watch out for every single sentence and make them sign whatever they say! The manager is not better either. She wanted me to take the apartment in South tower without seeing it or discussing the fees. Horrible experience! Run from Aimco and Flamingo, they have too many departments and nobody can help u or be accountable for anything. And if you really want to risk, do not go to agent Gabriel.

Not great if you work from home and need a quiet place. Dogs barking day and night. It's absolutely ridiculous. Good luck getting anything done or fixed for your apartment. It's amazing how dismissive and lazy the management is.

I've been living here for over 2 years, My leasing agent was always helpful and willing to assist me and all the friends I have referred to Him, I call him today and he is not longer in Flamingo, I call the office and of course no one is able to help, Management is very rude, Community Manager is helpless, never can't do anything unless you are a "Friend"...Leasing Agents if they don't see the money and commissions they will not get up from their desk to help, Thank God Luisa still here, The person in charge of renewals is mean and always forcing all the people to work with her Girlfriend leasing agent otherwise he will not work with you or help you with renewal price, Stay away from this Place. Hidden Fees, they will raise your rent and they will help only if you are friends with the renewal person, and the worst part is that when they have good people like Heather, Diego, Daniel and Omar they get rid of them, General Manager needs to get out of her office and do her job, I've never seen her walking the property, Flamingo was getting so much better but it went back to what used to be a horrible place to live.

The Flamingo is a filthy apartment complex that is infested with cockroaches. Do not move here. Two separate exterminators who work for the Flamingo have told me that the entire building is infested with cockroaches. I've seen roaches as big as crabs crawling through the hallways. Don't take my word for it though, if you decide to tour an apartment here despite the overwhelming negative reviews, I suggest that it's in your best interests to at least look beneath the appliances before you sign a lease... if you have small children, make sure their shots are up to date before you move in.

If you like strong emotions and the worst management this is the right place! At the beginning was the cockroaches! But then we discover the best. We have a wonderful group of young neighbors: they live from 2 am to 6 am. They receiving a lot of friends and they enjoy so much smoking the peace Calumet. Obviously, marijuana smell is fantastic for our children two years old, it will be perfect for the condo of tomorrow. More than this I love so much to wake up at 3 o clock in the night because of the nice neighbors love the techno music very loud.But I wrote a lot of requests to have more of this from AIMCO management but they have to share this benefit with a lot of masochistic clients, that I could understand. Yesterday POLICE and SWAT enter my apartment. Was wonderful. They looking for someone in the next apartment. I loved so much so I went to the manager for thanks her. Unfortunately, she said "is better you go to a hotel for some day but we can pay for you" was so nice!! Next time I ask to spit me in my face.Such a fantastic place for masochist!!!

Sick and tired of this place!!! For your money please go somewhere else where your not gonna be harased every day!

By far the worst experience of my life living in this residential building. The staff is extremely uncivilized and ill mannered , they ACTUALLY yell at you for petty things . Ever since I moved in , whenever my guests come to see me , they are humiliated and treated like trash by the security . The security thinks they are subleasing my place when in reality these guests are my friend who live across the street and come see my often . It's like living in a military compound . When the management makes any administrative mistake , there is no concept of apology whatsoever . I understand there are probably some polices that the security needs to enforce to keep us safe but that it no way justifies their obnoxious behavior . When I signed the lease , there was a volleyball court and now that is gone. Before we know the pool will be gone too . Stay away from this place If you don't want more stress in your hectic life

I've been making deliveries to this building and all of Miami for about 1 year and a half. It's gotten so bad that you people won't let us even park on the property to make deliveries but any other delivery service can pull right up to the building. I delivery groceries and sometimes I have over 100 items I'm delivering and for you people to tell me to park on the street to walk to the building is just so wrong in so many ways. We are actually faster then the fedex and cable company and all tjise srvucra but yet make us park in the street. I will not be making any more deliveries to these building 1500, 1504, 1508 bay road. You guys need to make it right with the delivery people that service your tenants in your building. Employees and security are rude and disrespectful, they straight lied to my face about someone I was trying to make a delivery too. Most complicated building I've ever been to.

Reasonable management. I believe once all the trivial issues are resolved, this will be a great place to live. Until then, a work in progress Update: They tried to raise my rent from $3019 to $4400. Mind you this is a one bedroom on the first floor. So I decided to end my lease. Then I found out they put my apartment back on the market at $3600. Why didn't they just offer me that in the first place? Very shady business. On top of that, had the audacity to ask for a video of my apartment layout to help them rent the unit out

When you make an appointment at Flamingo, they give you a huge list of requirements that are related to prices that are not at all cheap, but when you want to see the apartment, there is never one available to show where you are going to live and what you have to pay for, we have to rent blindly for They never want to show units but they are very demanding. So the value of my time and money should include showing me where I am going to live to see if I like it and if it is worth what they charge. A little respect, they are not doing charity

Horrible management, price gouging, lease terms, etc.

DO NOT LIVE HERE AND WASTE YOUR MONEY AND TIME. If I can give a 0 Star, I would! This place is ABSOLUTELY THE WORST PLACE TO LIVE in South Beach. People get SHOT in here, Security is not proactive, HIDDEN FEES, and Resident Complaint Response is the WORST. I woke up at 9am on a drilling from upstairs of our apartment BY THE MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT, and it took me literally an HOUR JUST TO GET A HOLD OF SOMEBODY to take care of it. I called since 10am and their operations start at 10am, I GUESS EVERYONE IS LATE TO ANSWER THEIR PHONE? Guess what they said? They can do anything they want between 9AM - 5PM, with this black guy, about 5'8" in height, medium built, from the maintenance department laughing at my face saying they can do whatever they want between then. DO NOT LIVE HERE. IT IS ALL SUGAR-COATED ON PICS BUT TRUST ALL OF THE REVIEWS ON HERE, WE ARE REAL RESIDENTS WITH REAL EXPERIENCES.

Worst place you can ever move into !!!!! Leasing agents are completely liers!!! Giving you false info and not telling you information you need to know !! Likw saying you sont pay building utiilities or foe the ac and then surprise every month extra 100$ utilities for lack of service al over tge comunity been living here 5 months now moved in to a "new" apt who was not clean on my move in date , they saying you have new washer and dryer , i threw away hundreds of dollars worth of clothes , got stuck in the elevators morevthen 6 times and today fifth time elevtora are broken only one is working took me 25 minutes to get to my 14th floor apt its a scam and tge worst place u can live !! Over priced horrible mangment and costumer service dont ever moce in you will regret it !!!

Don't live here. There are a ton of other great places in the area to live and I learned that very quickly once I moved in. The walls are paper thin in the units...it is insane how you can hear EVERYTHING because of the walls. If you enjoy hearing loud music at all hours of the night in your unit when you're trying to sleep, this place is perfect for you. There's roaches throughout the building and the fire alarms love to go off at random times. You have to pay separately for parking when you rent there and also have to pay separately for the small gym if you want to have access to a gym on the property. Their deposit is $1,000 and they will take out hundreds of dollars for unnecessary paint charges of the entire apartment, even though only small parts need to be repainted. They can't even provide proof of their work, when requested since I took pictures of the unit when I moved out. Won't work with you on refunding you any of the money either. We were excited when our lease was ending needless to say, and the security deposit situation was the icing on the cake to our awful experience living here.

I'm leaving this terrible place (North Tower). People are doing sublease business, "guest" shuffle in and out, they party after midnight. And worst, management office keep their eyes closed and do not respond to residents' complains!! I would definitely not recommend this place to any friends! NO NO NO! I wish there is a zero star for this rating!

Hoping this gets the attention of management since physically sitting down with them requires waiting in long lines? Flamingo does 30 day short term rental as well has enabled the residents to airbnb their units out. I know there is a lawsuit between Aimco and Airbnb but this all seems to be a distraction. People come in here and stay like a hotel... they airbnb the units and this is all enabled because they haven't cracked down on the issuing of the "guest passes." If they stop issuing the guest passes to obvious perpetuators of this, the airbnb will naturally cease to exist so long as the guards tighten up at the gates. Because of this airbnb situation the residents feel like guests in their own building. Everyone I've met who has been here for years is leaving because of the issues. If you go to the pool, you won't recognize but 1-2 people because everyone at the pool is "on vacation." Not sure how that makes sense unless they are all in airbnb units. The building when looking for leases leads on to the unknowing customer that the building is full and for that reason they wouldn't budge on the excessively high rent. The center tower (nicest of 3 towers) feels empty especially on the higher floors, maybe 70% occupancy? Further proving they are overcharging on rent and people are unhappy. Some of the current advertised prices online are lower than what current residents pay which leaves you feeling sick as well knowing you overpay but can't do anything about it. I pay $42k a year to live here. Doesn't feel like luxury with all the riffraff constantly in and out. Being a guest in your own community gets tiring very quick for anyone.

Not giving you parking or charging you $160 per month!!!! Terrible management!!!!

Renter beware: while the building is nice and amenities solid, there is non-stop barking (before 7am) if you have a unit that is near the dog park (in North building from the x20 to x40 unit number). This stems from the dog watchers not monitoring the dogs and poor dog control (including off leash) by dog owners. Despite repeated complaints, including time-stamped videos, management does nothing on this. Other residents have shared similar complaints with us when questioned.

This place is not what the management says it to be.... a lot of criminal activity goes on in these towers , Prositution , drug selling , fighting , stabbing , ppl getting robbed and management doesn't seem to care pls do no get tricked by these people !!! They will take your money and feed u to the fish

WORST PLACE TO LIVE! They nickel and dime you to death. I've lived here off and on for 5 years and here are the cold hard facts about the Flamingo. They will Nickel & dime you to death. The policies are always changing and they notify you always 1 day before the new change. They WILL TAKE 90% of your deposit. I've always left my place 100% perfect, paid for carpet shampooing etc. and they ALWAYS take your deposit. Most apartments have mold problems, They charge $200 per car if you want to park there, They charge you for bs insurance each month, they now charge for water, $1000 non refundable pet deposit plus $600 extra in rent per dog per year. They have NO guest parking anywhere so if your friend stops by they have to pay high prices for valet. One day late on rent is $200 late fee. If you lose your Flamingo card yup thats $150, It's also always very loud, in the hallways, and outside. If you live in the front all you hear all day and night is the gate slamming shut and taxi drivers honking and yelling, seriously allllll day and night. My rent for a 2 bedroom was $2,100/mo when my lease was up they raised my rent to $2600 per mo. Every year is you stay there your rent sky rockets. The South pool has been closed for a year, and everyone says that the south tower is sinking. There's all construction machines all over the place after the company went bankrupt. They once lost my check and then charged me $200 that THEY lost it. They also now do not accept checks you have to sign up for auto pay. That is the only method they allow to pay rent. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT MOVE HERE! I only wish I read a review like this before I moved there.This place is nothing but con artists and scammers, always out to get a buck from you.

worst place on the beach this place its scam don't ever dream to get your deposit back.

I currently live her I only been here sense March always paid my rent on time just issues every know and then know the security here is very unprofessional and management doesn't reply back when I first moved here I did realize I was the only African American woman on my whole block but that's normal so I didn't pay it to much attention know I noticed that the security would treat me different then others by asking me questions but people of a different ethnic group no questions so when I moved in one of there staff put my parking permit in my car it's there Job a resident can't she said as long as you have this there is no problem so the head of security whose already displayed she her unprofessionalism a few times well I am at the gate and she sees my parking decal she doesn't let me go home she is walking around with a gun and no other security guard has a gun she made me stay there for over 5 mins the leasing agent for the complex was witnessing what happened and said you can use me in the email this is wrong I go in tell management so when she opened the gate of course at this point I'm upset she is has caused an issue when she knows policy and procedure and your being spiteful I go and speak to the management Monday and they tell me not sorry not my Employee told me we will talk to the third party company and get back to you and Thursday I get an eviction notice for standing up for myself it's a thing called freedom of speech saying I threatened her I didn't get out the car they told me the manager quit but she was at work the next day just lied to and know being put on the street in 7 days because of an verbal dispute and no one came to speak to me no one asked me how I was doing no concern for me at all and I'm the customer please if you live here Contact corporate contact me if we come together we may can get results because this is not right and not saying anything at all look where we are

Parking here is expensive and there is no guest parking. Can't buy a spot for anyone else, like a girlfriend, unless you put her on the lease

Sad to see this place going down, I lived here before and now it has a terrible dog pee smell in the common walk . the management used to be ready at any time to send you paperwork ready to sign in and now they claim to say they have no time for an appointment I believe was Mara .

I just had to leave another review. God, this place was awful. Don't even think about it. Those cockroaches still give me nightmares from time to time... I legit saw a roach as big as a fucking lobster in the skywalk once. StayUpdate after Flamingo's response: You people did "treat" my unit for cockroaches several times. I think the actual number was 14 times in the 6 months I lived there. The cockroaches never went away.

Seems like management responds to everyone's complaints with " dear so and so please email me at this address with your contact info so we can send someone to your apartment and stab you and throw you off the balcony. After reading countless horror stories , I will look for an apartment else were. Everyone should stop complaining on here ,cause seems like management is cleaning house. I really hope all the 1 star reviewers are still alive somewhere.

I visited the venue but I was not happy to learn that the pool and hot tub close at sunset which is, frankly, pathetic. Don't waste your money, they also don't even have grills. You also cannot even get your mail delivered to your door

A good place

If I could give this place zero stars I would- The management is incompetent and downright negligent. The building is decrepit and has a terrible smell and is falling apart. Do not waste your money renting here! But if you want cockroaches, rats, and leaks, then you have come to the right place.

I was currently an Employee at the Flamgino buildings.(No I didn't get fired )( I asked for a transfer) I was treated like by their * Management. *No Organization *No Respect for my *co-workers or Owners, Renters *No management skills only nice Employee was Melissa... Jasshpa harrassed and Discriminated against me and Belittled me for no reason. I was stereotype even though I'm a clean cut black American very, respectable man. ( I worked very well and respected everyone. [ Jasshpa] replied to me in a look of disgust of my (*she told alot people She didn't like me ) ...No reason for that I work hard. I work 20 days straight for flamingo I even caught a fever the 17th day and still came to work Residents and Owners would vouch for me. Flamingo apts needs change in the Management Office I actually were going to Rent there but its terrible. Only logic I can think and when I ask others too...is my skin pigment *Color. Sadly I get use to being stereotyped. Haha you have no records of me working there oh really then how do I know the managers names and the two new security companies working there and third company in the south tower . Flamgingo is trash. Just had 2 ( FBI ) raids for real life ( serial killers ) living in the center tower 3 weeks ago

Nooo move!!!! I have actually lived in this place for 3 years now, it is messy, dirty, bad smell, everything is solved half way through, no root problem, hammer blows, floor drills and not to mention the elevators that never work properly and are new!!!! cockroaches everywhere, I was fumigating my apartment for 6 months, followers, the noises are horrible, you can hear the neighbors fighting and hammering all the time, it seems like Altesamos or carpenters live here, when you go to see where it's coming from, it's from below or above or to the sides everything communicates you listen to everything and they listen to you everything the walls are made of cardboard!!!! music, screams, parties on balconies until late, 2 days ago I had to go down three times to look for security because of screams and blows on the floor below, I managed to locate him after 2 months with this couple who fight to death and throw doors and other things at any time of the day should be more careful who they let enter or rent in the Condominium... humidity in the walls and in the air conditioning since it is central it throws all the dust from the constructions of the other apartments because Every time they move they remove the carpet with a clean drill at 7,8,9 in the morning including Saturdays, in order to make money they don't care about your peace of mind and privacy, every two months they have to come to me to remove the water in the ceiling of the closet in the room since the air conditioning installations are there and the leak was blocked!!! I already have a two and a half month old newborn baby, he can't sleep because of the noises. Now it's Friday, 09/06/2017 at 2,3,4 in the morning, the alarm went off 3 times and no one knows anything????something Which is normal when I didn't have the child, I honestly put this comment so you know that this place is a disaster, even though they want to help you, the problem always continues because they don't solve it at the root...(I repeat) everything is half done, that is, work for half, if they fix something halfway, if they put something in half and on top of that expensive luckily I have a month left and no more!!!! I dislike it so much that I moved to the north of south beach thanks to this community that tries to give their best but in the end everything remains the same or worse!!! I am not giving you a lawyer or a complaint for everything that has happened to me in this place since I am not that type of person and I always try to look for things in the right direction, carefully think about it more than twice to come because they are coming more construction and remodeling in this place and living like this, believe me, I wouldn't wish it on anyone!!!!...

I moved here with a friend and he pays all the rent but I can't access the building on my own or use the amenities because I don't have credit history. My friend has tried everything he can to speak to management about this and they refuse to help. I got a secured credit card and am working to build credit now but it's going to take maybe 6 months to generate a FICO score. We'll probably have already moved out by that time. We like to go swimming and I can't use the pool on my own because I'm not on the lease and a qualified resident because of my lack of credit history. I'm also transgender and am feeling slightly discriminated against??

Terrible. Horrible. Avoid! Youve been warned

I am not surprised this is the worst place to live in Miami Beach . Just look at all the testimonials. Think twice before moving in or you will regret it.The place is full of wackos its a Mad house. This place have no values and its totally disgusting. Staff members please... I dont even want to talk about them even if they are rude and incompetent why do they have to be dishonest? Jashba Mugica I am talking to you. You are the worst by far property manager I never had to met I wish I could say more and I mean it. You shouldn't be given any responsability you as a general Manager. Jashba Mugica you dont even speak english. Jashba Mugica shame on you. You Manage the Flamingo South Beach the worst way possible and I hope this review will alert any decision taker to get rid off you. PEOPLE BEWARE!!!! this place is to Avoid please inform yourself before signing a lease over there people will make you feel nice and comfortable at the beginning but wait until the problems come. YOU MAY ASK NOW WHAT ARE THE PROBLEMS? Well sign a lease at Flamingo South Beach. You will see.

We were taken advantage just like Tim Wiley was. I have now called the police and Feds and already my bank knows what happened. We are out of 1100. I hope these scam artists are caught and prosecuted to the fullest. Sarah

Management can be compared to a mafia. Does not help but actually go out of their way to make things MORE difficult for you. Besides the staff, good location and building

Be aware! Be scared! Be forewarned! The rent raising scheme at the Flamingo is so so unfair. They sign you to a lease at market rate, and then anytime they like, the give you a 60-day notice saying a) you need to move out so they can 'renovate' and b) after two months you can move back in with your rent increased $800-$1200 a month. They do this both with individual apartments, entire floors and last year even vacated an entire tower to renovate. Your lease does not guarantee what you pay or how long you will live here. 100% at their mercy. They talk about "market rates' but this isn't a month-to-month. If you sign a two year lease, it should be honored and then they can jack the rent and do a renovation when the lease is over.I mean, who wants to be living in a place where on any given day, there could be a notice taped to your door saying 'get out in 60 days'. Who wants to live with that uncertainty hanging over their head? That worry? And it's all anyone ever talks about in the elevators, so you can never stop worrying about it. Very, very stressful.Residents put up with all this construction nonsense, this noise, these relentless fire alarms, these elevators -- all on the promise that it will 'all be over soon and you'll be living in the nicest building in South Beach' ... only to discover, as I said above, that after you've tolerated it all, they're going to kick you right out of your apartment and tell you your rent is going up $1,000+/month if you want to move back in two months later, with no regard for the original length of your lease or the amount in your lease. Not cool at all.Make sure you ask the leasing agent about getting kicked out for a renovation before you sign your lease. You don't want to be moving in here today and be kicked out six months from now.

This guys, either trying to steal you or they incompetent, uneducated and stupid. First, when you extend lease, they charge you back and send you warnings, because you didn't extend and notice them that you are leaving. After that, internet payment doesn't allow you to log in, and if you don't pay on time, and office is closed, charge back is 150$. Etc, etc. Very unprofessional management.

dog poop everywhere. elevators dont work.

Simply a nightmare

Worst Place ever!!!! Worst management. The apartments are not worth the price. I was paying 160 for the parking and I couldn't even find one after getting out of work. A lot of people parking without the sticker also anyone could enter the building with pass or without it. There was like 6 people living in the apartment next to mind. Loud music and noises non-stop. Avoid this place!!

There is not a day when you can sleep peacefully because of the drills and construction noises, there is no respect for the resident's La Paz, high rent and low quality of life in the building.

Listen!... run away!... don't be dumb like me and rent here. IT IS BAD!!! REALLY BAD!!!!... seems ok, the pool, the gardens, the so-so poo smell... NOOO!.. IS BAD!!... The walls are paper-thin and loud during the night..... my upstairs residents are east europe prostitutes, I clearly hear everyone of their clients and their excessive sex screaming; the other they share a 1-bedroom between 3-4 noisy people, the other leases to weekend party rentals and my next door are obnoxious screaming always high drug dealers.. the other day someone got shot and killed right down stairs... from the outside looks nice.. inside, a big big big big lie and mess. They have a comprehensive contract to take two months and your deposit to leave and believe me you will want to after a week in this crappy place.... DON'T, for your own sake, DON'T LEASE HERE... the administration dont care except picking your hefty check overpriced for an old old unit. Security is just cosmetic. If you are are not a drug dealer/prostitute/psychopath, please, listen to me, dont rent here. See all the other TRUE reviews in google and yelp and read... their reviews on their site and apartments guide is all fabricated... the reply from them, Bryan, and so on, is just an auto reply, they dont give a cr@p, nor anyone in that office, they keep a guard there for a reason. Their strategy is to lure young people to a so call luxury rental, and they sky rocket the renew rate to either get more money on the new rate or keeping your deposit when you leave, as they will attempt any means to keep it. I can assure you that if they offered a 2-weeks trial period for new residents or a no-penalty contract-cancellation, most people would leave. I know if I could afford it, I would leave immediately. I am counting the days for my contract to be over and leave this hell.

i wish i can give them 0 . as a resident i know this place sucks. love the location
