Tenant Reviews for 612 S Flower St

The Pegasus is ideal for those who live, work, and play in the city. I am an urban animal but even if you need to get to outlying areas it is extremely convenient to freeways and transportation. This is an Equity Residential property so management is very tenant friendly. I appreciate the attentiveness of the staff as much as the sturdiness and security of the building itself. You cannot duplicate the 24 hour rooftop pool and patio anywhere else. You are in the middle of the financial district, and seemingly unlimited choices of dining and entertainment.

Real estate = location, location, location. I wanted to live Downtown because it's a part of LA that's not overcrowded and at the same time being constantly developed. Pegasus is perfectly located. If this was Manhattan, it would be Midtown. A 1/2 mile up to 1st street and a 1/2 mile down to LA live, the Staples Center, and soon Farmer's Field :) - walking distance to everything. The 6th Street freeway exit of the 110 dumps you a block from the building. The neighborhood (Financial District) is safe and clean. The building has 24 hour security and you have Johnnies on bicycles for the neighborhood watch. Your neighbors are banks so during the day it's bustling and at night/weekend it's relatively quiet. Far from the ghost town of years past; there are stores/bars/restaurants everywhere that open late. I can throw a baseball and hit Famima from here, the Daily Grill/Public School Bar and an Italian cafe are in the lobby. Walk less than a block to the LA Central Library and the beautiful park there. Need groceries? Ralph's is 3 blocks away and there's a Target being built a block away that opens this year. The building itself is solid - concrete/steel/marble (used to be an office building for Exxon Mobil, hence the Pegasus) and I've been through 2 earthquakes here - 1 living in the Penthouse - and felt completely safe. Elevators are the fastest you'll find anywhere. Parking on-site is perfect - especially if you can get a basement spot because that exits on Wilshire (2-way vs. 6th, 1-way). The roof has a small gym with about a dozen cardio machines, hammer-type resistance machines, some free weights, and all the stuff is brand new. Gorgeous view of the Downtown skyline and the Standard's rooftop bar. The pool area keeps improving - they've added grills and cabanas and they're doing more stuff as we speak. They've got vending machines and a business center for emergencies. Everything is solid inside the apartments. We have wood floors/carpeted bedrooms, stainless appliances, marble countertops, solid walls. I think you can also work something out to paint the walls. But bottom-line, the best part of Pegasus - by far - is the staff. Everyone from the manager to the cleaning crew is top notch. Just all class-act, nice, good people. Honestly, they're not even paying me to say it but it's as close to perfect as I've found Downtown for the better part of a decade. I'm proud to be a resident.

The leasing staff, apartment location, maintenance crew & rooftop pool are the selling points for the Pegasus. Despite downtown's mixed character, the building feels safe and very communal. The rent price per square-foot is a bit on the high side, but all things considered - still a good buy.

Pegasus is right in the center of downtown, and yet i feel safe and at home. the management team is the best, very friendly, prompt, and available. I feel secure and hassle free. I highly reccmmend this place if you are single or new to Los Angeles.

i've lived at pegasus for the last 3 years and have been very happy. the management recently changed as the building was taken over by a large, public entity, equity residential, but before and after the change, management has always been fantastic, responsive and the building itself (including amenities) is continually being upgraded. my favorite part of living here is that i NEVER hear my neighbors. it is an old building with lovely thick walls. also, it is close to everything, and there are more bars/restaurants opening around here all the time. i love downtown, and this is the best part of it. its a bit of a ghost town on weekends when all the people that work in nearby banks/businesses disappear, but its also safer than many spots along spring street, which tends to be more trendy, but oh so close to skid row shadiness. some drawbacks: regarding maintenance, they come right away when a request for repair is made, but can be a little sloppy with the work. washer/dryer in unit are really only good for VERY small loads and I end up using the central laundry facilities in the building instead of the in-house unit.

We live in the cheap seats of the building - and even with that - the management team in this building's been awesome for us from the get-go. Maintenance requests submitted in person or via email are responded to quickly and successfully. We have a 2YO, and the team is always excited and happy to see here. I've never seen this team act unprofessionally - even when "off the clock" It isn't every day that you find a management team who seems to operate this smoothly. Example - We were on Amtrak, on our way from Los Angeles to Louisiana. On the train, we realized that we forgot very important travel documents for our vacation. While my amazingly beautifully hot husband wondered aloud how bad the situation had become, without hesitation I picked up the phone and called the management office and asked the staff (RJay was the lucky person who picked up the phone) to find the documents and send them to our Louisiana destination. Sure enough, when we checked in at New Orleans, we were handed a Fedex envelope with our vacation documents. I can't say "Thank You" enough to RJay and to the management office for taking care of us.

I am new to LA from the East Coast and found the Pegasus apartments. I really enjoy this builing because it has the perfect location to shopes/entertainment, excellent customer service w/in the leasing office, and a wonderful security staff. They respond immediately to any issues within the apartment. The security staff does an excellent job making you feel safe. The Management/leaving office really goes above and beyond to assist with your issues.

Found this place a while ago after finishing school and don't want to leave. It's a great vibe and good crowd here. Close to everything I need. It's definitely up and coming around here - I've even had a few friends move here from the west side. Definitely check it out if you're looking. Can't beat the amenities or location.

Single girl new to the downtown area to be close to a new job. I wasn't too excited about the parking a block away but they put me on a waitlist to park in the building. Doesn't seem too bad of a walk though - pretty quick and goes right by The Standard Hotel entrance - very tempting! Haha! :) The 24 hour pool is a nice distraction and great for having friends over. I am glad Downtown is starting to become more popular but we definitely need to get more retailers here!! Not a whole lot of shopping options. As far as Pegasus goes though, overall I'd say it s a good place for the price.

I have been living here for 6 months now and love it! I've become good friends with a lot of the residents. It's like a whole new city down here! I got tired of the usual clubs and bars in Hollywood and the snobs they attract. People down here seem a lot more chill and fun - so refreshing! We're right next door to the Standard Hotel and they get is in on the weekends no wait and no cover! It's also one block to the Subway (yes - LA has a subway!) and you can take that straight into Hollywood and get let out right under the W hotel if you want to go out there - no driving! They just put in huge cabana beds and BBQ grills at the roof. Last Sunday they served free mimosas and had a DJ spin all afternoon! I don't know any building down here that does that. Best part is the pool is 24 hours - again, I don't know anyone that does that. I don't know what people are complaining about with the parking cause they gave me the option of parking on-site or off-site depending on my budget. If I didn't want to do either then they don't charge me for it. So if you're willing to do the leg work and find a better deal and walk a little more then do it. It also doesn't take an hour just to get to a freeway - they're all right here. I can WALK to grocery stores, mini-marts, happy hours, bars, restaurants, clubs, - Artwalk! It's great! Sorry If I'm rambling - just had a triple shot latte (from the Starbucks across the street). I hope this helps you guys that are looking. It's really great here. 24 hour pool & gym on the roof, free wifi lounge, free business center, valet service for guests - it's awesome. Tell them I sent you! :D
