I have lived here for several years and enjoy the community and amenities. The staff here are wonderful and always very helpful. My apartment is in a great location near downtown and within walking distance to Petco Park and Balboa Park. My apartment is awesome!

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.
