Flamingo Point

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.

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

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.

UNETHICAL, was told after signing the lease within 2 weeks of my move date that the unit I signed the lease for was going to be renovated and that if I moved in I would have only 60 days to stay there. Good luck reaching anyone there as they're either lazy or understaffed, infuriatingly incompetent

Avoid this place!!!! Can't watch tv without your neighbors complaining. Apartments aren't sound proof. Management is rude and wont help you at all! Worst place I ever lived.

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!

I'm sorry to put one star because I lived in 3 apartments in this building. I loved apartments and living in comunity but one star goes just because managment office. When we move out they charge us ridiculous amount for damages that was there in moment when we move in. One time $2000 for scratch on counter top, even when we provide them pictures of damage from move in day, they just sad that we have to pay. Second time, we have luck not to pay for anything. Third time, and last one, when we move in we went to managament office to complain that our apartment is not clean and not paint at all, there was dirt on walls and sealings. lady from managament office came personaly to take fotos of that and told us that she's gonna put that in our move in file. We were fulls, we trust her!! Nobody in next 6 months came to paint apartment. Also there was already scrach on counter top, it looks same like one what we paid before $2000, it was there.. so probably people before us in that apartment paid for that too. Probably they didn't change counter top in our old apartment. Where that money goes? Hm..so, when we move out from this last apartment we got final bill where they charge us $260 for painting!! Why? Because walls are dirty. When we told them that we already complain about that, all what they told us is that they can't do anything about that and that we have to pay for that. They already took our money from deposit. So be carefull if you are moving in this building!!

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.

Had a 15 months least and didn't even make it a year. The staff are extremely rude, the first week I moved i came from another state and was moving in my suit case, security without a word started following me taking pictures when I ask why was being harassed, started calling me names. The management supports these behavior. This is run like a frat house, endless construction at 8am in the morning, workers enter apartment without knowledge or consent. The ALARM goes off everyday ! 5am in morning woken by alarm, elevator is always down, the walls are so THIN ur here everyone yelling and chatter around the clock. This is not living, there are much better places to live.

Horrible. Just say, "NO".The contract is 100 pages of fine print and Flamingo AIMCO hides additional fees inside the fine print.Unless you are a contract lawyer, do not sign a lease with Aimco Flamingo.If you expect to pay 2500 a month, you will end up paying 3000 after they charge you and every unit for cooling, sewer, trash, etc as if you are a condo owner. The contract is vague at best and they have lawyers to sue you and evict you if you don't succumb to their over charges. CRIMINAL!!!!Aimco has insulated themselves by hiring an outside management team and they charge every unit with management fees every month. When you try to have a discussion with the on-site manager, they are powerless to do anything.Unless you are homeless and have to find shelter, do not lease from Aimco.

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!

You will never get your deposit back. They'll say they "sent" it and it just disappears in the mail apparently. Its been about 4 months since we moved out and multiple e-mails and calls later we still don't have it.

If there would be an option to leave -1 that's what I'd pick. We came here a year ago and our fault to do not pay attention to the previous reviews. If any given place has less than 4 stars apparently that's for the reason. They rip you off. Management is horrible. On the top of the rent you pay $400-600 for all the random stuff that they don't tell you about. Gym is not included, you gotta pay a 100 dollar for a dog... INSANE... and this is them being "dog friendly" In short, do yourself a favor: go and spend your money somewhere else, Flamingo is all about ROI I never give bad reviews BUT I had to do it on this property

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.

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!!

zero stars should be, bunch of thieves, overrated, everything is falling apart, i left on Monday after 3 leases there, horrible experience, and they sent me unreal fake bill, once already i deal with them and my attorney help me out, after all sent them proves in pdf and other doc that they are giving me fake bills, and overcharged me. when we decided to move out , we signed yellow paper (notice of intent vacant), my brother Vladimir and me, and cleaning fee was $70 , signed by your management title RRM and my brother and me, if the case that cleaning was $200 or $250 we will not sign and discuss about that,they charged me for broil pan?!?! i never saw that in my life until i use google, and i can guess that is for owen/stove,and i ask other peole who movedout about that and answer was that they never had that and was not charged, so it was only me, then charge for about drip pans, please see attachment and proof that drip pans was changed,i sent them on email prove from their maintenace that was changed so if they changed again something new and already changed i dont want to pay.bout carper change ,got prove about repair not just one about big time problem with AC leak, and when i got back home from work i had a swimming pool between my closet because AC was leaking , i am at work 8 hrs, and and was destrying my dresses, shirts, and i left many towels down to remove that swimming pool on the carpet, and i reported and maintenance came next day, and what i find out that i share AC with apartment next door, and damaged carpet i reported right away and asked for remove and you said that will be ok when i move, after all i have numerous recorded phone calls and conevrsation with your management office and i can use that against you, after all that carpet was not damaged by me by AC and your poor maintenance, and if I have to pay for carpet change then i will charge you for damaged dresses and shirts and towels and as well send those proves.by contract was 3 of us, and you gave us ONLY 2 keys, 3rd apt key i made at the building, 1st floor next to entrance of central tower, your maintanace made me a key because noone else can make copy (of course) and charge me $40,n the Notice of intent to vacate said that after 1st inspeciton which was scheduled (pre move out inspection) on 21st August, said that inspection will leave some not about damages , i didnt received ANYTHING. worst building ever.

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.

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!!!!...

Great location but always increasing rent even if they have 71 available units! We we signed up the initial rent was $2800 odd ended up at something like $4500. Then final walk through over $1000 worth of feea ridiculoua

I got stuck in the elevators multiple times and almost died because no one could find me. They don't even bother to fix the elevators, they just let you stay trapped inside of them and maybe rot to death until they find your body. The staff is rude and have no idea what being-of-service even means. Guarantee this place will be shut down by the city very soon. Dangerous place.

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.

Despite the roaches, rats, fire alarms and broken elevators in the south tower, Aimco is going to charge you cleaning and damages fees from the warranty deposit anyways ... even if you have no damages ... which is around 395$ that you need to take in consideration!

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

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!!

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.

I cannot find my last review, I will leave it here again: - Deena. The way she emailed us at the early beginning made us feel disrespected. We authorized to her a payment of $350 and she charged us $1230+ that was non authorized. Did not gave us the tour for the building and did not reserved the right day the elevator for the moving day. - We were NOT notified beside of all our questions about payment of "extra charges" that are $300+ each month, if you are on a budget please think twice. - The cabinetry felt down the first day of moving because it was attached to the wall with glue, and it happened to another friend either you or you belongings will be affected. - THE PACKAGES: I LOST ALMOST ALL MY PACKAGES THEY GET "LOST" EVEN WITH THE CONFIRMATION OF THE TRACKING AND PICTURES OF THE PACKAGES INSIDE OF THE LOCKERS. ONE OF THE GUYS THAT WORKS THERE IS SO RUDE THAT HE YELLED AT ME SEVERAL TIMES WHEN I WAS NOT EVEN TALKING TO HIM, AND TRHOW TO THE FLOOR ANOTHER RESIDENT PACKAGES AND KICKED THROUGH THE HALLWAY. - My apartment always have insects. - My bathroom is always with something broken. - Oh they fooled me with the Gym, they out a seal on top of my contract to get the gym payments waived because all of the bad situations that I was facing and I still facing. - The administration wont do anything and is very hard for them to email you back with of course no solutions. Please do not get fooled like I did in this building.

I would give zero stars if I could. Don't live here. This is literally the worst building I have ever lived in. Dog poop everywhere, terrible party-oriented and selfish tenants, horrible management, overpriced. Everything is always breaking and half of the working appliances (e.g. laundry machines) are so bad that they may as well be broken for all the good they do you. The management company will take your entire security deposit and will list fake reasons, even if during the final walk through you agree that everything is perfect; they will change your bill after the fact and then not return your calls. They will raise your rent hundreds of dollars when you try to renew - pretty sure this is so they can take your security deposit and get someone else into the building to rip off. Parking is ridiculously expensive. This building lives up to the stereotype of the worst of Miami, 100%.

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.

99% of the reviews aren't fake news. THERE IS NO FREE RENT. This is like living in hell. I fulfilled my lease, gave proper notice and left with a $0 balance owed to the Flamingo Center Tower and a month last received a bill for $1,800 for damages. I've attached photos to show how the apartment was left. Besides the drug dealers, prostitutes and violence there is the never ending stream of thugs walking around everywhere. No one knows who lives at the Flamingo. There was a dead body in the bushes for an entire day covered in a yellow plastic tarp a few weeks a few weeks ago. Google "murder at the flamingo" and see for yourself. IF YOU ARE STUPID ENOUGH TO MOVE HERE... YOU CAN'T SAY YOU DIDN'T KNOW! Please see photos of the apartment when I moved.

They are in construction, the noise is unbearable. I share an apartment with another person and therefore I do not have the fingerprint to enter, this means that sometimes they let you enter the pool and other times they don't, LIVING HERE AND PAYING A RENT and when they have seen you enter and leave the pool 100 times. They are boring, put staff with two brains.

This place is a nightmare, every day a new situation. If you get a package you'll be charged $10 per day if you don't pick up on time. To park a car $160 per month ($5 per day) but my $10 Amazon purchase has to pay $10 per day after the third day. Beside staff and management they treat you like they were doing a favor to residents, rude and ordinary, their only concern is to cash-in $$$ Central and north tower worst management ever seen in my life.

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.

This place is horrible for what you pay. the elevators are constantly breaking which adds an extra ten minutes to your commute if you're on a higher floor, the staff is rude, customer service is awful and there's constantly puddles of urine from residents' pets. The whole place is an air bnb haven, even though the service is illegal in south beach.

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

The security Jasmine & Monique are horrible the trash room stinks due to them not cleaning regular & parking is terrible.

Basically a frat house. But would never live here just for the fact it's run by AIMCO. Having experience living in one of their buildings I've learned how crooked and criminal their corporation is. Save your money, much better places to live.

Terrible. Horrible. Avoid! Youve been warned

MY WORST EXPERIENCE IN A RESIDENCE, YOU CANNOT REST EVERY DAY THEY DRILL, HAMMER, EVERYTHING IS SHIT**** THEY ONLY SERVE TO COLLECT BILLS AND STEAL FROM THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE, IF YOU ARE A WORKING PERSON DO NOT RENT IN FLAMINGO ANYWAY MANNER!!! THE LIFTS DO NOT USE ANYTHING THE SERVICE THE POOL EVERYTHING SMELLS OF DOG IS SHIT ****

Unfortunately the management of the building is very unorganized and as a result, the building is in the state of decay. There is no accountability either so they act very unprofessional and breach their lease agreement by not maintaining the property as promised. After only 4 months of living in this place, I had to find other residence because they just never got around to fixing major plumbing and air conditioning issues in the unit. Noise is a major issue in this place as well. Its a shame because this place could be so nice but unfortunately the people that own and manage the place simply dont care about it being nice. Profit is all that matters to them. Also, there is no one that you can call outside of the building with issues within the community. There is no accountability and aimco only cares about getting there money and new tenants. They will not help or address any major concerns and simply defer to management who are clearly overwhelmed and dont care themselves. It is one giant scam. I would stay away from this building. It is a nightmare. Update: 5/2/2018. They breached the lease, Community manager and I terminated the lease due to company breach and because no District manager or VP of Aimco would follow through on the concerns. Not even return a phone call. A month later I receive a bill for $4600 because they say I owe them for terminating the lease and are keeping the deposit and came up with multiple charges including a fee to send me an email "bill". I spoke with their "move-out specialist" and he was utterly rude and did not want to even try to understand that this is an error and repeatedly asked "How will you be making payment today?" Incredible.... They threatened collections and I told them that collections is not going to step in since they are clearly not even trying to resolve the issues (which seems to be how the company operates throughout)... Long story short, they were totally wrong. I received no apology and got a refund for my security deposit minus about $700 in charges I did not consent and still have no idea what they are for... Worse Rental Company I have ever dealt with in my 15 years of renting. I highly warn against anything AIMCO, they are a despicable company.

The only thing good about this place is the view from the pool. Everything else is horrible! Where to start.....How about the smell of dog poo and piss everywhere you walk in the facility. Or the fact that even though I'm 9 floors up I can here the gate slamming closed and the conversations of cab drivers and passer by as though they are IN my apartment. Then let's talk about the parking. ..you can either pay an EXTRA 150-250/month to park in the garage (on top of the already ridiculous high rent) oooor, they say you can park on the street in which there is only like 20 of those spots. Forget getting a miami beach parking permit because anyone with this address is aloud to get a permit.....then they advertise that they have a gym....yeah for an EXTRA $50/person.....guess this is my welcome to Miami....

Security is so nasty and Rude this people do not know how to treat their residents. You do not feel at home at this place. I love my apartment i love my view but security is a BIG LET DOWN. Please hire more qualified individuals to deal with your wonderful residents

i did end up moving to this place wish it was a bad choice not advising any one scam

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

It's finally time to leave.Update: The Construction is unbearable. If you work from home, you are f*cked. Destruction of concrete: dentist drill x100, jackhammers, and metal on metal sledgehammering. I've lived in the same unit for 5 years and always paid on time. Never get complaints, yet they wanted me to relet for $2,440. There is a new apartment one floor up with the same layout (facing ocean instead of bay) for $1,940. If that doesn't make the leasing people beyond incompetent, I don't know what does.-------Everything from the last review is the same, except they did beef up the turnstiles. Fire alarms still go off too much, but this is also improved. The great: Huge balconies and great views roughly 20th floor and up Probably the most beautiful women reside here, even for Sobe standardsLandscaping and pools are top notch.Why the 2 Stars? Endless construction. Apparently some moron poured or mixed the concrete wrong in the South Tower decades ago and its not safe, so they're rebuilding them.. Every Single Day there are extremely loud construction noises. Its been slow and going on for 6-8 months if I had to guess. They also leaf blow, cut trees, mow grass. This is expected but it starts at 8-9am just like the construction. Goes on all day when I'm working. Parking garages: construction.The last straw is tons of planned construction. A huge project starting in Fall 2017. They are also upgrading interiors again!? Rumor has it that that new leases have a clause that you have to vacate your apartment while they work on your floor.Lastly, I had a family with two small children move next door almost a year ago and I thought Flamingo, party central of Sobe, was a ridiculous place for them.Now there are kids and teenagers all over. Fucking everywhere. No idea where they all came from but Im not a fan.

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

THE STINKMINGO A big part of the complex smells like dog piss. When I walk in the trash room to access the trash shoot I almost puke every time

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

Worst management ever. Rudest security I have ever come across, NO WHEELCHAIR ACCESS IN SOME AREA, very high rent, most inconvenient place to move in and out, fees are higly expensive. DO NOT MOVE HERE ! DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE AMNETIES.

Flamingo point is a mess, the Managment office so bad especially Luisa the manager!

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 .

Unprofessional staff. They stole my deposit (3000$) for no reason. It's been 2 years that only 2 elevators out of 4 work in the north tower. It's very unsafe shootings are more recurrent here than in the ghetto. It's very dirty and the maintenance is bad. It's all bad but the location of the building. I wouldn't recommend it to my worst ennemy.

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

Just awful. Kids on drugs...

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

Wow, and not in a good way. My sister's apartment has had one issue after another and every time management does not deal with the issue appropriately or at all. Do NOT rent here unless rats, water damage and strange odors in the hallway are your thing.

If you like living in a construction site, this place is for you! Like others have said, this building is always under construction. Just don't forget your hard hat and ear plugs if you move here. Don't expect to work from home or take any phone calls, the construction noise is off the charts. And as if tenants aren't already putting up with enough, the management will terminate your lease whenever they feel like raising your rent. And to be doing all this to people during a pandemic is really low. Never lived in a building where the management treated their tenants with such disrespect. The renovations are so sloppy too, no attention to detail, and things are already breaking.

DO NOT GIVE THESE GUYS MONEY... ITS GONE..!! I gave them $1000 credit card HOLDING DEPOSIT (THEY WON"T RETURN) - I paid a $100 application fee and a $1000 temporary holding fee for a unit. I did not get approved for the unit (Divorce FICO to low) and i was told the $1000 holding would be returned to me in 3 to 5 business days. Its well past that and strangely they no longer answer emails, phone calls anymore. I will be filling a complaint with my bank as well as my good friends at the DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS & PROFESSIONAL REGULATION. Deysi was the person i was working with. All in all from the locals it sounds like I dodged a bullet as this place is not well liked locally and i ended up with a much better place.

Horrible management, price gouging, lease terms, etc.

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.

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.

Very beautiful building, under renovation, becoming more modern, maintaining its original structure. However, its internal organization has a little to be desired. Depending on who visits you, sometimes you have a little rude concierges in service, who instead of helping those who visit you (since this building is being remodeled), simply complicate your visit ... For example it seems that they are doing you a favor to indicate something or give information. Unfortunate...

The building is disgusting, the management is horrible and they have no respect for the people living there. They walk in unannounced and trash the place to supposedly fix the water damage and bug problems. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

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.

Very dirty...

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

Looked into renting here and was extremely turned off by the pushiness of the leasing agent. After reading the reviews both here and on google, it is clear that they are pushing some kind of leasing scam where they get you to sign a lease at one rate, then under the guise of renovating your apartment they then raise your rates. On top of that, every single thing here is an extra fee, down to the most basic level of gym access (and it is a per person fee). There is also a monthly parking fee per car (nothing is included), a monthly pet fee, and apparently all sorts of other nonsensical fees. There is something extremely fishy going on here...

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

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.

First, the building signed a lease with me for one move in date, but 5 days before the move in date, they said the building wasn't ready and we couldn't move in for another month. They only realized it wasn't ready because I went by the unit and brought it to their attention!!!! Otherwise, they wouldn't have known and it would have been move in day and we couldn't move in! Appalling! Next, we move in, and cigarette smoke is dumping into my apartment, presumably through an air vent straight into the bedroom. It is so strong it is causing me asthma and my infant had to be hospitalized for wheezing. The management acknowledged the issue and said they would look into it and then stopped responding to any emails. Truly negligent and harmful.

AVOID!!BAD MANAGEMENT!!In spite of the awful reputation of shootings, drug dealers and prostitution this place has, I wanted to give it a chance since it offered a good deal. I never took into account I would be dealing with AIMCO, an incompetent and poorly managed company which only cares about getting you to sign on the dotted line, get your application fees $$ and then dismiss you. No one ever picks up the phone! Imagine how it will be when there's a problem with your apartment..It cost me $450 to break away from this shit show (that's what they ask in NONREFUNDABLE fees) but at least I wont have to deal with such nonsense and lack of professionalism for a year. Good riddance. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE. Also, I dont care about the meaningless reply from AIMCO so might as well save it.

Rats, bugs, mice,leaking, and flooding all have happened to me in my year and a half here! Management flooded my apartment by mistake and didn't want to pay to put us up for the night. I'm looking for a new place now. Really really bad.

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 !

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

LIARS , WORST PLACE TO LIVE !! STAY AWAY MANAGEMENT AND LAWYERS OF THE FLAMINGO PROMISE ME TO NOT CHARGE THE TERMINATION FEES AND AFTER TWO WEEK I GOT $4850 BILL . NO WONDER PEOPLE COMMITTING SUICIDE JUMPING OVER THE BALCONY OVER 5 KILLS IN 2016 JUST STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE VERY DANGEROUS COMMUNITY. CRIMINALS , KILLERS, ROBBER ARE LIVING THERE.

I've been here for a week. The most terrible experience so far. I can't go anywhere without my boyfriend because they haven't been able to add me to the lease for over a week now. Although my boyfriend was added in a couple of hours and the next day he made a fingerprint and keys. They told me that they added it to the lease yesterday. That evening I went down to the office and it turned out that it was closed from 4 to 6 pm for unknown reasons. Today I went down again and was told we don't see you in the system. What is happening in this complex is not clear to me. I'm already tired of asking the workers to open the doors for me and saying that I'm a guest here. Regarding parcels, this is a different story; delivery workers sometimes simply do not find this complex and do not deliver the parcels. The gym, residents say, is paid. Only one pool is working, as the second one has been cleaned of dirt for a week. There are no words, honestly.

Management sends fictitious lease violations such as noise disturbance (when I'm not even home), dog barking (I don't have a dog), and smoking (I don't smoke). After 20+ violations, although disputed, received a non-renewal letter. Cockroaches come in masses 25+ floors up through the sink and dishwasher at night despite maintenance spraying. Construction noise is unbearable on both sides of the building. Amenities were reduced by 70% with the removal of the north pool, jacuzzi, and bbqs, yet rent remains the same. None of any pros (views, walkability, south pool) are close to overshadowing these cons.

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.

Very bad

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! 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.

Just want to share with you my thoughts about this place. I moved in here back in April 2020. I loved it in the beginning. But be aware, don't be fooled by beautiful exteriors of the building. The location is amazing but unfortunately due to COVID-19 it doesn't really matter because everything is closed and it's not worth the price i am paying for this place. The place is poorly maintained(my faucet keeps leaking even though someone came to fix it, people smoke in the building and i have to smell cigarette smoke in my bathroom all the time and they got ROACHES), a lot of people don't wear masks even though it is particularly enforced to do so. I had to cancel my gym membership because no one wears mask in the gym (even their own EMPLOYEES) during the pandemic. I honestly can keep going on the problems of the building I am sure all this is happening because they don't give a d... on this place. I am truly mad that i can't break a lease because i will end up paying a fine of 3000 and have to keep this place for a year.

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.

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.

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.

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.
