Las Brisas apartments California refers to at least eight independent apartment communities spread across the state, with no shared ownership or management between them. "Las Brisas" is a Spanish phrase meaning "the breezes," and renters searching this name will encounter properties ranging from market-rate coastal communities to income-restricted affordable housing. brightplace tracks apartment search patterns across California, and "Las Brisas" is one of the most searched community names that returns inconsistent results because of shared naming.
The properties span South Los Angeles, Santa Maria, Colton, Chula Vista, Huntington Beach, Indio, El Centro, and Cudahy. Each has different management, pricing, unit types, and qualification requirements. The comparison table below breaks down what distinguishes each one.

Three properties in the greater Los Angeles area use the Las Brisas name, and they serve very different renter profiles.
The South Los Angeles property at 8760 Main Street (ZIP 90003) is a courtyard-style community managed by Cirrus Asset Management. Amenities include a computer lab, playground, and subterranean parking. This is a market-rate property, so standard income and credit qualifications apply. When contacting the leasing office, confirm whether the property is income-restricted before applying. Qualification requirements for LIHTC properties differ substantially from market-rate leasing, and the confusion is common.
Las Brisas I & II in the Cudahy and South LA area is an entirely different category. Developed by Abode Communities, this is a LIHTC (Low Income Housing Tax Credit) affordable housing community with 152 total homes: 92 in Phase I and 60 in Phase II. The development includes a community center, childcare facility, and Cabrisas Park. Residents must meet income qualifications, with the 60% AMI threshold for a 4-person household in LA County set at $75,660/year (as of current HUD data). Housing vouchers may be accepted.
If you are new to the apartment leasing process, brightplace's practical apartment rental walkthrough covers the six stages every renter should know.
Four Las Brisas properties operate in Southern California outside the Los Angeles metro.

Managed by Western National Property Management, the community offers studio and 1-bedroom floor plans in a garden-style layout with outdoor picnic and BBQ areas. The property is accessible to Interstate 10 and the Inland Empire's commercial corridors.
Chula Vista (San Diego County).Las Brisas Del Mar at 916 4th Avenue offers 3-bedroom units priced at $2,695 to $2,950 per month (as of Q2 2026). The property operates by appointment only, so schedule a visit before showing up. Chula Vista is roughly 7 miles from downtown San Diego, with access to the Bayfront and Third Avenue Village dining district.
Huntington Beach (Orange County).Las Brisas Del Mar at 16552 Sell Circle is located in the Huntington Harbour area, a quiet cul-de-sac approximately 1 mile from Pacific Coast Highway. Two-bedroom units were listed at $2,625 to $2,795 per month (as of Q2 2026). Harbour Mall is nearby, and the property falls within the Ocean View School District. REMM Group manages the property.

Las Brisas Santa Maria is the newest and largest Las Brisas community in California. This 340-unit, garden-style apartment community in Santa Barbara County opened for leasing in early 2026. Developed by MBK Rental Living and managed by Greystar, the property offers 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom floor plans.
The amenity package includes:
Two designer color schemes (Sunrise and Sunset) are available across units.
In-unit features include:
The location offers access to Highway 101, with Pismo State Beach roughly 20 minutes south and the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes nearby.
A leasing promotion offering up to 6 weeks free on base rent was active at the time of this review (as of Q2 2026). Restrictions apply and minimum lease terms are required. Contact the property directly for current specials.
Not all Las Brisas properties charge market-rate rent. Several participate in the LIHTC program, the Low Income Housing Tax Credit, a federal initiative that provides subsidies to developers in exchange for capping rents at levels affordable to households below a percentage of Area Median Income (AMI), the midpoint income for a given geographic area published annually by HUD.
The El Centro property at 2001 North 8th Street in Imperial County is managed by ConAm Management and offers 1- to 3-bedroom units ranging from 734 to 1,136 square feet. The 60% AMI income threshold for a 4-person household in Imperial County is $49,500/year (as of current HUD data). This property accepts Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.
The Cudahy property at 4343 Elizabeth Street, managed by Hyder Property Management, also operates under LIHTC guidelines with 1- to 3-bedroom units. The Abode Communities Las Brisas I & II development serves families and special needs populations.
Under federal law, all LIHTC properties are required to accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers. For a full breakdown of what goes into monthly housing costs beyond base rent, see brightplace's guide to your true monthly cost as a renter.
California renters have specific legal protections regardless of which Las Brisas property they choose. Three laws are particularly relevant.
AB 1482 (Tenant Protection Act of 2019).This law caps annual rent increases at 5% plus local CPI, with a maximum of 10%, for most residential buildings 15 years or older. The Santa Maria property (built 2024/2026) is too new to qualify currently. Older properties in LA, Colton, and Chula Vista likely fall under AB 1482. The full text is available through the California Legislative Information site.
AB 12 (Security Deposit Reform, effective July 1, 2024).Security deposits for unfurnished units are now capped at one month's rent (as of Q2 2026). Previously, the cap was two months for unfurnished units. This is a direct financial benefit for renters signing new leases at any Las Brisas community.
Just Cause Eviction (AB 1482).Most multi-unit buildings in California require a documented reason for eviction after 12 months of tenancy. Renters in any Las Brisas community with 12 or more months of occupancy have additional lease security under this provision.
