Tenant Reviews for 612 S Flower St

I have lived here for under a year during all the construction chaos. Although that has gone on a little longer than everyone expected, it looks great now. I think the Pegasus staff has handled the challenges very professionally and personably. The maintenance and security staff are wonderful and readily available. The apartments are excellently maintained, despite being dog/cat/kid friendly. I love the neighborhood and expect to be living here for many years to come. Thanks to everyone who works at the Pegasus for creating such a welcoming and confortable living space.

I have been living at the Pegasus for over a year now and I have had a great experience so far. Compared to every other place that I looked at downtown, Pegasus not only has the best location but also has the best amenities. Stacie leased my apartment to me last year and made me feel comfortable with moving to downtown LA from out of state. Everything to do downtown is right outside my door! VIP at the Standard Hotel is always a plus for me!!!!!

I've lived at Pegasus for almost 4 years. I've seen the good and the bad. The renovations have been going on too long but they are FINALLY just about done. This has really been my only issue with the building this year- so if you are just moving in or considering doing so you are lucky you missed the mess and it should be good from now on. Management has changed a bit but the newest manager has been here for a while and Stacie has been here forever. They have always been helpful and nice to me. Maintenance issues are always handled the day I call it in. Guest parking isn't the best because they have to pay. Rooftop pool is awesome- most people say it's the best downtown. It's heated, great views and good scenery. ;) I upgraded my place this year- got brand new floors, and clean steel appliances- definitley improved my place.

How someone could write a positive review of this place I don't know. Staff is AWFUL. Lobby has been under renovation for 8 months and nothing to show for it. Pool is mediocre. No one here appears to care in the least about the well-being of the residents. Oh, and the washer/dryer is borderline unusable. Also, they have contracts with the two worst service providers for internet and cable so you have no choice but to overpay for absolutely horrendous services in those areas.

Increased rent every year, even in a recession, claiming rent is always $100 or $200 more than what I'm paying now. Ridiculous. I have a 550 sq. ft. studio. They want to raise it to $1645 ($1400 apt, $245 parking) which is exactly $2.99 per sq. ft. I love downtown LA but even with all the development, it doesn't provide the amenities of either New York or Westside LA. 300 other apartments with the potential for loud or crazy neighbors very high. Mine brought in cockroaches. Construction has been going on since Feb 2010. It's Sept and they're still nowhere close to being done. They said Memorial Wknd in May! I'm guessing maybe end of the year for the new pool and lobby. Not to mention everything that is new looks worse than before the renovation. Laundry machine in each unit is a farce! It doesn't dry properly, so you still need to use the big machines on the 3rd floor. European model, so very small loads and the cycles are 4-5 hours long. Guest parking is a joke. Valet guys are rude when your guests come. They lie and say Daily Grill took all the parking, even when you walk back there and there are spots open. If this is any measure: I've met over 10 general managers in the 3 years I've lived here. They just can't handle all the apartments, the people, the USC/FIDM kids, the parking. And every time the general manager changes, that means the leasing office hours change, pet policies change, guest parking changes, security company changes, RENT changes (and it only goes up).
