This neighborhood is very unique in some important ways, according to NeighborhoodScout's exclusive exploration and analysis.

If so, this neighborhood may be to your liking. The Flamingo Lummus Northwest neighborhood is on the ocean, a bay, or inlet. Often such coastal places have amenities and recreational activities on the waterfront that are attractive to residents and visitors alike. In addition to being coastal, Flamingo Lummus Northwest is a very nautical neighborhood, meaning that it is somewhat historic, walkable, densely populated and on the water.

In addition, the Flamingo Lummus Northwest neighborhood is very unique in that it has one of the highest proportions of one, two, or no bedroom real estate of any neighborhood in America. Most neighborhoods have a mixture of home or apartment sizes from small to large, but here the concentration of studios and other small living spaces is at near-record heights. With 97.5% of the real estate here of this small size, this most assuredly is a notable feature that makes this neighborhood unique, along with just a handful of other neighborhoods in the U.S. that share this characteristic.
