The Flamingo

I have lived here for three weeks and I have had a great experience so far! Marrion is always happy to answer all of my questions and the staff is always very friendly and helpful!

I love this building. It's clean, quiet, and is a nice neighborhood with many shops and the lake shore in walking distance. I'm also very happy with the management. The building manager Marrion Willis is a very nice and helpful person. I wanted to upgrade my studio to a one bedroom apartment and she helped me do it in the easiet way possible. I highly recoomend this buidling to anyone who wants to live in Hydepark and wants an affordable apartment with beautiful lake views.

Truly impressed by the staff at the Flamingo Building on 5500 South Shore Drive. Chicago. IL A team that is positive, efficient, works together in problem solving, and very courteous deserves recognition. Thank you Flamingo Staff, Precious, Jennifer, Marion, Kevin, Sam, David and others that work week-after-week to keep the residents safe, confident, and satisfied.

I’ve been living in the Flamingo for going on a year and it has been a relatively satisfying experience. The amenities alone makes the stay worth while. There’s a swimming pool, a fitness room, a study room and laundry that’s accessible on a consistent bases. Being that I do work out, I appreciate the fitness room on days I can’t make it to the gym. These rooms are always kept clean and in great standards. My fiancé, daughter and me share a two bedroom apartment that features a large living room and kitchen that has a section that gives you a small dining room feel. All of that appliances are up to date and easy to maintain. The trash shoot is parallel to my door and easy to get to as well. To cap all of these aspects off, the staff makes it all worthwhile. Michelle is the leasing consultant and she consistently goes beyond the call of duty to appease the residents. Not to mention my daughter loves her as well. The property manager is also a great individual that is very understanding and does what needs to be done. Will is one of the maintenance guys and there’s never been a maintenance issue that has not been addressed in a timely manner. I almost forgot about the parcel pending that holds your packages for you. I love it because me and my fiancé does a lot of online shopping. It’s quite, subtle and kid friendly and the all door staff is very friendly. The door staff doesn’t just allow anyone to enter, and they’ll feed your pets. Overall great stay and I recommend it to anyone. Also if you’re resident and you refer someone and they sign a lease you’ll get a $500 check.

I've been here a couple of months, and I love my studio apartment! The Flamingo truly feels like home. Michelle is amazing and kind. The maintenance staff is efficient and also kind! I have no issues with finding a parking spot ever. I would recommend living here and I hope to be here another year! I can't wait to use the pool in the summer!

Just moved in, and I love it

Searched on south side for a 1 bedroom through different realtors and agencies. TLC provided the best options and prices. Their intercompany communication was excellent as they notified the other apartment managers ahead of my visit so they were prepared for my visit. The Flamingo offered the best location and views of the lake for the price. All the staff is there the help. I am impressed with the security guards, they actually got up out of their chair and helped me move in. Lease terms are flexible, options available for less than 1 year at no extra monthly charge (may have been a promotion at the time I signed - don't know if standard). The building is of old construction (plaster walls as opposed to sheet rock) so it is quiet from the neighbors. Bar Louie's at the entrance is convenient too. I recommend it.
