We have just renewed our lease at Sofi Berryessa after one year. The apartments are well maintained and the grounds are very nice with well manicured lawns and a nice fountain/pond near my apartment. The open parking can be tight if you come home after 5pm,… See More

Had a pleasant stay for over 2 years. Never had any issue. Marisol and Michael with the management team are supportive and quick in response. Poolside summer and winter parties arranged by the management are good get togethers. Highly recommend for anyone considering.

Thanks so much for your AMAZING recommendation, Priyatham! We feel so lucky to have you as a such a supportive member of our community!

Can you hear your neighbors?

It is not noisy in my building. You can hear kids playing outside during the day, and I'm on the first floor, so I do hear people upstairs moving around, but it is not bad.
