What it’s like to live in Central Chula Vista

While the location means longer commutes to northern San Diego employment centers and some commercial corridors need investment, residents enjoy substantially better housing value with excellent access to both downtown Chula Vista's developing restaurant scene and the bay front's recreation opportunities.
