Flamingo Point

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.

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.

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 !!!

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.

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

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 .

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!

It's very sad. The flamingo destroys the resort living feel they advertise. Sure the amenities are nice, but they close the pools before sundown. The leasing staff are scam artists. And they nickel and dime you for everything. Apartments are small, extremely outdated, no storage. The AC system shuts off constantly. The elevators are forever out of service adding more time in the morning just to leave. It's an awful place. Find another place to live. Anywhere!!!!! The flamingo south beach is trash

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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'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.

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.

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!!

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

Worst place ever

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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

My experience with Aimco and the Flamingo has been not only terrible, but has destroyed my credit so much that I'm unable to even rent anywhere else. When I moved into the South Tower, I loved the property. Everyone said it was like a dorm and they were right. I loved the diversity. Then I decided to stay long term and moved into the Garden units right by the volleyball court. I loved my home and met lots of great people. When renovation work began on the sea wall and volleyball court, that all went out the window. I lived on the first floor in a corner unit. I had workers looking into my apartment, heavy equipment parked on my patio right outside my sliding door, noise all day long and absolutely no care or consideration given by the staff there. I couldn't go outside my back door which faced the bay, an amazing view taken away by a solid green nylon fence. My lease was coming to an end in 2 months and I asked the management if it was possible to vacate early and end my lease. It was becoming unlivable at this point. Everyday it was noise, machinery and workers all around my home. I had to keep my blinds closed all the time and made my home more of a shelter than anything else. I kept in contact with management and saved all of my emails. Who knew they would stab me in the back so bad. I was given permission to leave my lease early by management and they asked me to bring my keys into the office. I did so. 2 months later, I learned they had placed an eviction on my credit report AND a LIEN for unpaid rent that they agreed to!!!!! I willfully left WITH permission and they still reported me as a failure to pay the remaining lease. This destroyed my credit score. Be aware, this property WILL find a way to take your money, your freedom and in my case, your ability to find a new home if you're extremely unhappy. I see a Flamingo rep respond to a lot of these posts and say how sorry they are and offer someone to discuss their issue with them. I've posted here twice, been in contact with AIMCO directly and interestingly enough, NO ONE HAS BOTHERED TO FOLLOW UP WITH ME. Why? Who knows. Hopefully they'll be caring enough to admit fault once in a while and take care of my credit score like they should have in the first place. I wouldn't recommend this property to my worst enemy.

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

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

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.

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

This building is in bad shape. Same managent company for years but it looks they didnt learn to do the job right.

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.

Avoid living here at all costs. Ineffective, careless, and unprofessional management.

ROACH INFESTED!!! Went to get our keys and biometrics for an apartment in the North Tower today and the unit is completely infested with German cockroaches which are notoriously difficult to exterminate (pesticide resistant and multiply rapidly).

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

The worst problem of this difficult situation is the incompetence of the Association, the manager Melissa ignores the cases, pretending to be misunderstood, she has not been able to manage this building for many years, she displeases the residents and must be removed from management as soon as possible

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.

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.

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 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.

THERES BEEN CONSTRUCTION WAKING ME UP EVERY MORNING SINCE IVE BEEN HERE! I hate this place with all my heart. why is there drilling everyday?!? im very patient so if I actually complain about something it's going to bother most of humanity. Hate this place

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!

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

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.

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

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

These guys are very disrespectful with your time. I scheduled a tour, drove 40 min on a Sunday, and because the "concierge" could not scan my ID, I could not get the tour... very unprofessional...

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.

MY WORST EXPERIENCE IN A RESIDENCE, YOU CAN'T REST EVERY DAY THEY DRILL, THEY HAMMER, EVERYTHING IS SHIT**** THEY ONLY USE TO COLLECT BILLS AND STEAL FROM THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE, IF YOU ARE A WORKING PERSON DO NOT RENT IN FLAMINGO ANYONE MANNER!!! THE ELEVATORS DON'T WORK ANYTHING THE SERVICE THE POOL EVERYTHING SMELLS LIKE A DOG IT'S SHIT****

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!!

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.

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.

Very dirty...

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.

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??

::::Update:::: "Helpdesk" is as useless as the management office, he leaves a comment under your comment saying someone will contact you to make it look like they actually care, but guess what?!? NO ONE CONTACTED ME!!! It's true, like all the other reviews mentioned, the MANAGEMENT TEAM IS HORRIBLE! Most of them give you such nasty attitude and act like they don't want to help you. Sol and another lady from the biometric office is actually very helpful and pleasant, which was very refreshing from all the other rude management team members. I was having problems with my finger scan and Sol actually walked me to the lobby to made sure it worked, not like the last three times i went and the other ladies sent me away saying it works!! I needed to be out of my last apartment in a week due to mold. The flamingo was the only place I found that would approved me super fast and something within my budget. My leasing agent( Deysi) was good, she helped me find something quick and beautiful within my budget. So here's where the nonsense started, on my move in day, I had the elevator reserved from 12pm-3pm. When I got to the building to load my stuff into the elevator it was being used by someone else. I waited for 45 mins to gain access, i gave my id to the front desk to get the key to the elevator. While my movers were going back and forth from the truck to the elevator loading stuff, Salvation Army got in the elevator with the key and went up to pick up some furniture on my time. How did this happen if I had the elevator reserved? So, not only did they steal the elevator, they took almost 1.5 hrs to come down and unload their stuff. While unloading their furniture a glass table got broken and fell in between the elevator doors and it got stuck for a while. My movers finally got my stuff into the elevator after almost 2 hrs. My furniture got damaged because of the broken pieces of glass that was still left in the elevator after my movers tried their best to clean it up. I went to the "management office" a couple days later and spoke to Melissa, I told her what happened and asked if I can get a partial credit back from the admin fee of $350, she acted like she cared and said she will look into it and and get back to me. One week went by with no response, I stopped by her office to get an update, not only did she gave me an attitude and said she's not taking any appointments but asked why i was there...what the hell? She called me an hour later and basically told me she cannot give me any credits from the admin fee of $350, because i didn't pay my movers over time. I didn't pay over time because my movers felt bad for all the damages to my furnitures. My furniture got damaged from someone else using the elevator during MY TIME, and I couldn't get a credit back???? I paid $350, for a smooth move in, not to wait 2 hrs and damages to my furniture. Apartment: My apartment is beautiful, however, It seems like it was painted a few days right before i moved in and they did a sloppy job fixing it up. My bedroom door got stuck when i closed it from wet paint. The bathroom sink, tub and floor tiles looks nasty, they did a sloppy job re-grouting it and it's peeling off now so i can see the mildew abs rust. Hallway: It smells disgusting!!! It smells like wet dog and rotten fish with a hint of weed. The white moldings in the hallway looks horrible with black scratches. The elevator waiting area on the 10th floor looks like a old train station. Instead of installing new doors, they should be taking the nasty carpet out and painting the hallway. It's been two weeks so far and I'm still trying to get used to the nasty hallway smell, the weed smell and nasty elevators with dog pee!

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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.

Most unprofessional, ghetto management and leasing team I've ever encountered. Several issues such as maintenance men entering unannounced, cigarette smell throughout the apartment, fire alarm tests constantly, water heater breaks often.. it goes on and on. AVOID THIS BUILDING AT ALL COSTS. It's far from luxury.

Worst place ever . You will get law suit from the owners if you break the lease.

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.

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!!!!!

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

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

Sitting outside at night with 2 female friends and our dogs. Dogs are on leashes. This security man has been standing in the bushes watching and listening to us for over 30 minutes. It's freaking creepy and they always do this. It makes the dogs uncomfortable because they can't see him that well bc he's literally hiding in the bushes. This is so odd

We lived with my family for three years in Flamingo Point, our contract expired in May and we decided not to renew our contract for several reasons, including the treatment of the staff in the offices. When we left they told us that they were going to send us a check with our deposit to our new address and that's what happened, but when we went to withdraw the money from the bank they told us that the account did not have funds to give us our money. We went to the building to complain and they told us that we should call them by phone in a few days. We did that and they did not answer the phone no matter the time of the day or how many times we called, it seemed strange to us so we asked a friend to call from their and they answered instantly, which shows that they were ignoring us. They treated us very badly on the phone and told us that in a week we would receive the new check, it's been 20 days and we still haven't received the check, we called the office and they don't answer us. A lack of respect. We are waiting for a response to what is happening to us.
