It would probably have to be in a cement enclosure, and in Florida a sump pump to keep it dry. A 1,000kg, 5m, 200RPM flywheel would store 685,567J of energy if it was shaped like a disc. That's 0.19kWh of energy — enough to boil the water for about seven (7) cups of tea or run a typical airconditioner for about 10 minutes.
Re specific energy: For a stationary system, energy stored per unit volume probably is more relevant that energy stored per unit mass. Domestic flywheels are unlikely to happen for 3 reasons: They must be heavy to store significant energy.
