People & Lifestyle

Neighboring a major border, Chula Vista is a dynamic and culturally diverse community. Coupled with its proximity to city center of San Diego, it has been a major hotspot for suburban growth.

Chula Vista has become synonymous with both new development and renovated classics, both carrying the latest community amenities. The city’s urban planning shows and is a great fit for families searching for a safe neighborhood with a notable school district, or young couples looking for more space at more reasonable prices away from the congestion of the downtown areas.

So, while Chula Vista may carry a 'suburbia' reputation which doesn’t always sound like the most appealing option, with the region’s spaciousness, outdoor amenities and well- planned-out city infrastructure... this suburban city is everything but lacking.
