Summary

Flamingo is a bayfront rental community on South Beach’s West Avenue side, combining Flamingo Point and Flamingo South Beach under AIR Communities. The campus offers pools, a fitness center, landscaped waterfront grounds and on-site dining, with apartments ranging from studios to larger renovated homes. Residents praise the setting and helpful leasing and maintenance staff; recurring complaints concern renewal increases, billing and deposit disputes, and inconsistent apartment or package conditions. It is a lively, amenity-rich option rather than a small, quiet building.
