The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Property Ratings at Vela Apartment Homes
I enjoyed living at Sixth&G Apartments for the past two years because it is ideally located in the Gaslamp Quarter and is walking distance to all your favorite places. The outside entrance, inside lobby, gym, entertainment lounge, hallways, and underground parking are kept pristine with daily cleanings. Management/maintenance are incredible and quickly respond to requests. The high ceilings and thick concrete walls provide peace and quiet while allowing you to live in a very festive place.

6th and G apartments checked all my boxes when looking for an apartment downtown. Location, amenities, apartment features, pet friendly, great/responsive staff, community events (hopefully resuming soon), and price point. I am happy living here.

Hi there, thank you so much for your positive comments about Sixth & G! We hope to be of service to you again in the future. Best wishes, Sixth & G
The community is clean, located near most everything downtown. Be aware that noise can be an issue and there are quite a bit of fees on top of rent, to include a trash service that is absolutely not needed. There are trash shoots on every floor and they charge $10 for someone to grab your trash from your door. I would not mind if they charged against our will. Please reconsider this 6th and G!

Thank you so much for voicing your concerns about our Valet Waste services and providing us with great feedback about the community. I would love to invite you in to grab some coffee and we can discuss this Valet Waste program we offer. It really is like a concierge for your trash services! Please feel free to email me at 6andgmgr@greystar.com so that we can get together. I look forward in hearing from you soon! Nicole LeBlanc Sr. Community Manager
6th and G is such an amazing urban oasis in the heart of all the fun of the Gaslamp Area!! We love our apartment, location and the staff is beyond amazing

Happy March! Thank you so much for your praise and kind comments about our team and community. Be on the lookout for our next event at Side Bar.
Best location, best building and outstanding staff!
I have lived downtown for over 11 years, and this is by far my favorite residence. The location is amazing and the environment is outstanding.
Lofts at 655 was the best decision when it comes to our transition here in San Diego. We love the community and the staff has made our apartment feel like a home!
I've enjoyed my time at the Lofts at 655. Management and maintenance is responsive, courteous and easy to work with. The building is well maintained and kept very clean. Also, the dog friendly atmosphere is great!
I am a current resident at the Lofts at 655 Sixth. I really like my unit and the location is great. However, three things that I am very disappointed about are; 1. My unit was not ready when I moved in. The keys were not made for me when I went to pick them up and there were people still inside of my unit cleaning it. 2. I pay $100.00 each month for parking (never a late payment). My car was correctly registered in TheLofts online database upon move in. They wrongfully towed my car from the parking garage. When I asked the office why my car was towed, they were unable to tell me why. My receipt from the towing company indicates that the reason for being towed was "parking permit expired" (my permit is current). 3. The "gym". The treadmill and the elliptical do not work.
