A sidewalk suburbs in San Diego County
The Hilltop neighborhood of Chula Vista lies about 11 miles south of San Diego. Area homes are within a walk or a short drive of many Chula Vista hotspots. Palm-shaded sidewalks lead to the neighborhood's 7-acre park, and San Diego Bay is just a few miles west. "It's an established community, and houses range from historic to more modern," says Annel Vargas, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker West who has more than 20 years of real estate experience. "It has a convenient location on the borderline of the western and eastern parts of Chula Vista." To the west, the Chula Vista Bayfront project promises upcoming job opportunities, and in east Chula Vista, the Otay Ranch Town Center is a popular shopping area, she explains.

An array of home styles starting at $750,000
Hilltop is part of West Chula Vista, which is dominated by established homes and businesses. Homebuyers may find many ranch-style homes from the 1940s and ‘50s, though there are also newer builds with Victorian or Mediterranean-influenced designs. These residences rest on lots around a quarter-acre in size, along curving residential streets with palm trees and sidewalks. Prices generally range from $750,000 for a ranch style to around $1 million for a spacious home with Mediterranean influences. Vargas says that homes in the gated Peppertree Estate subdivision tend to list above $1 million. The city of Chula Vista is located near the La Nacion Fault System, and homebuyers should all ensure that they are prepared for possible earthquakes. The region is also prone to wildfires, particularly during the dry season from May through September.
