Good amenities but the roaches in the pool is a downer. Parking is nice and people are quiet. Roaches in the hot tub is terrible. Roaches.

Property Manager at San Portella responded to this review
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoy the parking, amenities, and the quiet atmosphere of the community.
We take concerns about pests very seriously. Our community is on a weekly pest control service, and we take all necessary... measures to ensure the pool and hot tub areas remain clean and enjoyable for our residents. While we proactively manage and treat these areas, environmental factors can occasionally impact outdoor amenities, and we address any issues as quickly as possible.
Your comments have been shared with our team so we can continue to monitor and reinforce our efforts. We encourage you to contact the office directly if you notice concerns in the future so we can address them immediately.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

I wanted to be excited about living here. On paper, it looks like all the shiny new features and amenities are great and the apartment tour shows a very nice home. In reality, you are given a broken apartment you will spend more than two weeks trying to fix before you can even settle into your home. The smart home feature they advertise controls one light (on and off are the only functions) and has a door code that the office never gave us. So we can only lock our door through the app, not... unlock. They will also have you download several apps for different purposes. Overall, I can't in good conscious recommend living here to a potential new resident.
