Overall not very satisfied with the quality of units in Gema. Maintenance seem to have band aid fixes for larger issues, and the management seems to be fine with this way of handling tenants requests and issues.

GEMA is an excellent place to live, the apartment community is clean a quiet …and the access you have is great. Freeway access right around the corner, the beautiful Balboa Park and Museum and Zoo right around the corner, Seaport Village is a one mile walk as well as the number one ballpark in the country ..Petco Park!
