The Flamingo Apartments
5500 S Shore Dr, Hyde Park, Chicago 60637
The Flamingo is a historic East Hyde Park building right up against Lake Michigan, and it leans into that setting with an outdoor heated pool, a firepit lounge, a 24-hour gym, and a bocce court plus a Bark Park out back. The apartments keep some old-building charm with crown molding, hardwood, oversized windows, and walk-in closets, and the upper floors actually pull in real lake and city views. You're a few minutes from grabbing coffee at Belly Up, having a drink at The Cove Lounge, and walking out to 57th Street Beach and the lakefront. There's no CTA train stop in easy walking distance, but the Trader Joe's is about a 14-minute walk for groceries.

I spoke with a leasing agent about availability of a 2 bedroom that was showing available on their website. However, he told me that it wasn't available because it's still occupied and that I can pay to reserve it, but if the tenant doesn't …
Marcia was really helpful. The building was very nice.
The staff was very welcoming. I didn't have an appointment and they showed me apartment without rushing me.
My first month moving in and the black American landlord accused me of stealing magnets and whispered her accusations to a man she was showing an apartment too. I’m also getting very unsettling vibes from maintenance I filled out a request …
Late post - Marcella, and the maintenance team accommodated a request to install my AC day off. Stellar service and extremely appreciate the urgency.

I have been living here for 7 years and nothing but good experiences. Daarina is such a wonderful lady ,compassionate, carismatic ,caring , never a bad issue with her or the building it's self. She always looks out for me and the others in the building.
