Scenic views and longtime owners
With panoramic mountain vistas adorning the backdrop to many of its spacious housing options, Bonita Long Canyon is one of the most picturesque areas in eastern Chula Vista. Much of the community is on elevated landscapes. Single-family homes sit back from sidewalk-lined streets and cul-de-sacs tucked away from busy main thoroughfares. “The landscape and the homes here fit well together and it feels very peaceful. Everybody knows everybody,” says Annel Vargas, a Chula Vista Realtor with Coldwell Banker West. “This is a community with a lot of longtime owners and people from the area who have established themselves and brought homes here.”

Spacious homes and large lots
Many homes have hints of Spanish-style architecture with red-tiled roofs, but there is still plenty of variety, including Craftsman homes with stone accents and ranch homes with low, gabled roofs and enclosed garages. “People really like the size of the lots and the floorplans in these homes. Most were built between the 1970s and 1990s and they just do not make houses like they did back then,” says Vargas. Homes often sit on spacious lots of land, with some stretching to over half an acre of land. House prices are consistent with neighboring communities, typically between $900,000 and $1.4 million. Another big draw for prospective residents is the neighborhood’s low crime rate; it scores a 2/10 of the CAP Index.
