Chula Vista better schools and newer construction

[Scarlett]

Disappointed with the lack of inventory on 56 corridor under 600K, we are thinking of taking a look at the newer parts of Chula Vista,like Otay Ranch/ East Lake, San Miguel Ranch. We also saw there is some new construction e.g. Trellis (street) at WindingWalk. Do you know anything about this development by Brookfields? 500K can buy there a pretty large (for us), nice house.

We are just starting to look in the area and we would like to know where and which are the better schools, and how are those schools rated? Can you recommend neighborhoods? Anything we should keep in mind or avoid? We are in our 40s, white, work in La Jolla area, kids in kindergarden/preschool. Or shall we look elsewhere? We want good schools, and to keep the commute under 45′.

Thanks!

I work in Sorrento Valley and have a few coworkers who live in Chula Vista. Their commute is almost an hour – and that’s with coming in very early (before 7) and leaving early.

Just wanted to point that out.

Thanks for pointing that out. I guess the traffic must be bad at rush hour. The google maps estimated the commute time at right under 40′.

Edit: I just talked with somebody who works in the same building as I and he lives in Otay Ranch 1. He says it takes him 50′ at rush hour (uses 805), 40′ without traffic.

I guess under 1 hour commute is acceptable…. Sigh….

I know a few people that live in East Lake and Otay Ranch. The ones that grew up in Chula Vista just love it, but the ones that moved in from other areas don’t like the schools, so they use the parochial schools.

I’ve been in the area, and it looks real dry down there, might have big cooling bills.

Have you considered Mira Mesa or even Santee?
