Flamingo Point

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

A good place

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

Constant noise/ barking dogs and unhelpful/unresponsive administration The building is nice enough but overpriced for what it is. The real issue is dogs barking constantly and the building doing nothing about it. They start at 7am and it's non stop barking where the dogs sound incredibly distressed - not normal barking. I've been communicating with the building trying to address the issue for 6 months and they're pretty uncommunicative or say they will ask security to monitor the situation but no one does anything. This seems pretty on par for level of service otherwise in the building as well. It's a nice enough place, but not one to call a home. Be cautious before choosing to sign a lease here. Management commented below that the issue has been addressed and emails continue to be sent out but one email was sent out after several months of asking for it and it is still a huge issue. I also called air communities multiple times and left a message asking for them to return my call and never heard back.

Very dirty...

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.

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.

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!!

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

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

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 .

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

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

Management is absolutely atrocious. They do not care about the health or well being of tenants. Multiple managers quit/were fired in a short period of time. Drug dealers and prostitution are rampant. Had apartment inspected for mold and it was completely infested. Avoid at all cost! My significant other and I are both active duty military and fell into the aesthetic trap of the Flamingo. Do not be fooled by the internet pics. Hallways smell like urine, the elevators are constantly broken, and the parking is terrible. They did not treat us with respect or courtesy and I regret every cent I gave to them. They slid a notice underneath our door terminating our lease and allowing us only 60 days to find a place to live. We had to rush to pack everything we owned and move into a new place right before the Holidays and only two months into our lease. We had neighbors whom received the same notice who hadn't even been residents for two weeks. STAY AWAY!

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....

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

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.

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...

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!

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

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

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 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

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

sick animals i wish i could rate it less. my and my neighbors apartments flood ALL the time. This time it was when we weren't there and the management came in and ransacked the place and were rude and disgusting. more disgusting then the outdated apartments. Stronlgy suggest you look somewhere else.

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!!

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

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

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

I 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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

I lived in Flaminco South Beach some years ago. The first month I guess I discovered small insects but I didn't pay attention, and I was trying to clean even more my apartment. During the time that I was living there things got worse, one guy came to my door drunk and told me wherever in the middle of the night. He told me things that no one want to listen. If you are someone like me that need a good sleep because you have to work. It was not possible at that time, people were partying late, workers were working very early, the alarm etc. When I told to the manager in the main office that I discovered that those insects were bedbugs thanks to the internet. He instead of trying to help me. He looked at me like I was crazy. He didn't offer me help. So I decided to leave because my son and I had thousands of bedbugs bites. I got completely drained. I was devastated psychologically, sick, mad, weak, discriminated. They kept my security and deposit. But I just wanted my son and I feel healthy and feel alive again. So I moved on. I almost forgot about this really bad experience when someone called me on march/28/2017 telling me that Flamingo is suing me and I have to pay them $ for leaving the property. I'm trying to make the story short. I did my best to forget about it and start fresh in another place. How they can do this to me. I had a severe anemia at that time because I was feeding the bedbugs with my blood. I don't want anyone to suffer in the way that I did! I just want them to stop bothering me.

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.

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

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??

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

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

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

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 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!!

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

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.

Worst management. Forget about your deposit

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.

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

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!!!!!

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

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.

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 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%.

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.

I was renting an 1 badroom apartment for one month and didn't have any problem. After i left, the management never return my deposit After contacting them few times for 5 months, I never got my money back for no reason. They behave like the lowest THIEFS

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.

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...

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.

Just awful. Kids on drugs...

Horrible management, price gouging, lease terms, etc.

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

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.

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 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

::::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!

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!!!!...

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.

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

IMPOSSIBLE to reach management over the phone. Only when you chose the renting option, and then someone "in an outside office" answers. ANY issue you have (and you might have a few) you have to go in person to the office...

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.

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

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