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...

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

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

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

It 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.

Same gripe about the security deposit. I lived at the Flamingo Center tower about 5 years ago. It's useless try to clean the place when you leave because they hold all the cards legally regarding your security deposit and will never give you much back.My only suggestion is you take pics of every inch of the place on move-in day and upload them somewhere to verify the date. Then when you move out, make sure to be at the exit inspection and have those pics ready in case they try to blame you for something.

Garbage

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.

Very dirty...

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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

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

If I could give no stars I would. Flamingo promises great things, but FAILS at nearly every point. My packages are REGULARLY delivered to the wrong apartment the front desk and gym personnel know nothing about anything that's going on in the property. The only nice benefit here is moonlit yoga several times a week. I am deeply disappointed. For example today: ordered a tire pump to inflate my tire to be able to get it to my mechanic at 2:30pm sameDay. Package was delivered at 10:58am. No one can find it, no one will one will help. No one cares at all that they are costing my time, energy effort and money. I am deeply dissatisfied and highly disappointed at the lack of professionalism and the lack of common human decency to simply DO THEIR JOB. Don't expect anything ever from this property.

A good place

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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%.

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!!

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

EXTREMELY overpriced for an apartment with incredibly old and barely working appliances. There is European washer/dryer in one in our apt which we cannot use at all because it completely ruins anything we've tried washing and drying in it (it has burned literal holes in our clothing numerous times) because of this we have to pay extra every week to do laundry at our apartment floor laundry room, so laundry in unit is NOT a thing- believe me. We pay about $3200 for rent each month which is criminal based on the quality and size of our apartment. There's mold everywhere on our balcony, our shower is so old and horrible with almost no water pressure, we have NO storage space except for 1.5 closets. The .5 closet holds nothing so you literally have no storage unless you pay for an extra storage unit at the building. Tonight we got home and our ceiling in our closet was leaking so bad that it ruined majority of our clothes and our other belongings in the closet (the only place we are able to keep anything) I'm so incredibly upset and frustrated. They also just asked for us to renew our lease in a couple months for this same apartment, but for about $3400 a month. It's a complete joke and a scam. Do not 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??

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.

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

The 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!

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

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.

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!

Just awful. Kids on drugs...

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

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

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.

Do not move to Flamingo Point, or any properties managed by Air Communities. They have been doing nonstop drilling and renovations Mon-Fri. It is so loud you cannot have work calls and Air Communities Management refuses to remedy the situation. They just ignore their customers without a care for their quality of life. Management also kicked out my neighbor with only 60 day notice even though she had over 5 months left on her lease due to the renovations. The management team knowingly gave her a 12 month lease when they knew they would have to kick her out for the planned renovation but withheld that information from her. They also are raising our rent 20% YoY and only care about the bottom line, not their customers. That is why they nickel + dime you for everything here (parking, all of your personal utilities, water + common space utilities (which should be included in the rent), fitness center, etc.)) I cannot wait to move out

dog poop everywhere. elevators dont work.

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

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 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

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 amenities are amazing but the bad does absolutely out weight the good. Noise-- I've lived in 4 different states and the noise that is able to echo into my apartment from my neighbors is unbelievable. It's one thing if it's during the day but it only happens after 1AM making sleeping unbearable without ear plugs. Parking-- I lived in the south tower but they only offer parking in the north tower. To get to it you have to either go to the ground floor to walk over to the north tower then take the elevator up to your floor parking floor and finally walk through two different hallways to get to your car OR take the elevator down to the second floor walk through the internal passage way into the north toward then take the elevator up to your floor Fees-- Outside of base rent the fees are as follows. 90$ for your apartment gym, $117 for parking or $225 for reserved, $150 (NON-refundable) to use the fright elevator to move in/out or any other big purchase, Owner provided FPL/ Internet and trash/pest.It's 320$+ base rent to live here which you have to consider. Hybrid Building---- The building is a hybrid finger print / key fob. Your finger print gets you literally everywhere but does not call the elevator in the tower to your location which is very stupid since you have to use your finger print inside of the elevator to go to your floor. The finger print is also very finicky and sometimes takes a while to register so if you are on a lower floor you could miss your elevator stop because your finger did not register in time. Freight Elevator----- You have to pay $150, not a deposit, to use the freight elevator. The elevator also is NOT reserved for you, you can just use it. The elevator leads to the back of the building so a lot of people just use the elevator regularly. So you have to load the elevator, unload it directly on your floor then call it back down so other people can use it. It makes moving in and out horrible since you might have to wait multiple elevators if it's filled with people.

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

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.

Terrible. Horrible. Avoid! Youve been warned

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

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

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****

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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).

Worst management. Forget about your deposit

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 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

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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

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

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.

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