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.

Opens spaces, soccer and splash pads

When it’s time for play, the expansive 10-acre Bonita Long Canyon Park is at the center of the community. The open spaces surrounding the park are perfect for playing fetch with Fido, and it’s not unusual to see a friendly soccer game being played. There are walking paths throughout the park. Parents can take their children here to burn off extra energy on the playground, which has a jungle gym that will keep them entertained for hours. Sweetwater Summit Regional Park is just two miles away. Spending several hours or days at this 500-acre park’s play areas, splash pad, exercise course and picnic areas is easy. Campers and anglers may choose to stay awhile to enjoy its 15 miles of hiking trails and fishing at Sweetwater Reservoir.
