I just moved here in September, and so far it's been great! There's a new manager who is super friendly and was so welcoming during the Thanksgiving dinner they held in the office, which was very nice to do for residents! The laundry room and gym are always clean and tidy, and the maintenance staff does a great job and is very responsive. I look forward to many years at The Flamingo!
