[quote=ocrenter] . . . I’ve been down to Eastlake in Chula Vista and saw homes of equal size from similar builders. But 2-3 after built-out, the neighborhood just feels inferior to any of the similar aged neighborhoods around the 56. . . [/quote]

I am unfamiliar with the 56 corridor but agree with you about Eastlake. I suggested Rancho Del Rey (Belmonte) and RDR Estates (although a little too expensive) to the OP, NOT “Eastlake.” These communities are 5-7 miles west of Eastlake and Eastlake does not even compare to them.

Again, want to avoid any “misperceptions” here. Different communities of Chula Vista should not be lumped together as one. It is a medium-sized diverse city.
