A metro community near downtown
The Castle Park neighborhood in Chula Vista is about 2 miles from the bay, allowing locals to enjoy the sea breeze when leaving their homes. Many relocate here to enjoy an oceanside lifestyle and escape Northern California's higher cost of living.

"They say, if they are building a Starbucks in an area, it's an up-and-coming neighborhood. And there are five or six that are nearby."
