Neighborhood

Bordering Washington Park to the East, Hyde Park is a popular and culturally diverse South Side community. Lush, spacious parks and the University of Chicago campus dominate the neighborhood. Although there is a wide selection of luxury communities, there are many apartments and rental houses that are surprisingly affordable, attracting students, faculty, staff, and any renters looking for a good deal.

This small park-like neighborhood is rich with history. Hyde Park is home to one of Chicago’s most famous landmarks: The Museum of Science and Industry, the largest science museum in the Western Hemisphere. Hyde Park was also home to the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition, several Nobel Prize winners, and former President Barack Obama. The neighborhood is surrounded by beautiful green spaces, lush foliage, and lakefront parks with small beaches. Midway Plaisance Park is a long stretch of parkland with sports facilities and an outdoor skating rink.

The Flamingo Apartment sits right off the lake giving you a view of the sun-rise and a few feet away from the beach and fire pits. The Flamingo is around the corner from The Museum of Science and Industry.

The Flamingo is in a beautiful location with plenty options suiting your taste. Maintenance responds promptly and management follows up voluntarily. I enjoy being steps away from amenities, entertainment and shopping. Security is efficient and meticulous about entry. You’ll have to tweak the imperfections of apartment interior , but pros outweigh the cons.

I’ve lived here for over a year and leased my apartment site unseen. I moved in from out of state and could not be happier with my choice. The rent is reasonable, the apartment is clean, never had a pest issue of any kind, and anything I’ve ever needed has been addressed immediately. There are excellent restaurants within walking distance, the beach is right there, and there is a lovely pool which only one other big building nearby has.

Laundry machines are perpetually out of order

The entire laundry room has been out of order for more than a week. I have almost never seen a day when all the machines are in working order. Most often, there are only one or two machines working. The radiators sometimes sound as if someone is hitting the pipes with a metal hammer at full strength, in the middle of the night, and I would not be surprised if the sound level violates the Chicago noise ordinance. Otherwise, the building is nice and management is helpful. But why does it take so long to fix the laundry machines?

I have had some bad experience at Flamimgo,my first year was very good.The second year my apartment flooded from my toliet,no one cleaned my rugs or my furniture. Every time there was a water flood in your hallway downstairs I called you all because I was on my way to work from your bathroom in the lobby. No matter where I lived I have always been a good tenant. Never had any problems.

I have been a resident of Flamingo for 15 years, and with regrets, due to health and age, I will be moving in with family soon. However, before I go I want to say that my overall experience has been so rewarding. Specifically, the Flamingo has hit the jackpot with it's present leadership Passion, and her supervisory team Jennifer, and Kevin. I want to say to Kevin that Sam of your maintenance team is the best in the business when it comes to solving issues via fixing what's wrong.. How he manages is beyond me, with so many apartments and daily requests. A final word on the newest addition to Passion's team, Mr Bey, the office manager. His skills in managing the day-to-day operation of The Flamingo are to be commended. Mr. Bey is hands-on with each issue ,and gives each person respect; I have witnessed this up close and afar. Thank You Flamingo!

The building was ok when I moved in here in 2019. But a year later, the caliber of people that had moved in is horrible, the marijuana smell in the hallways and there needs to be new washers and dryers in the laundry room. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend anyone here.
