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. "Castle Park is a fast-growing neighborhood," says Robert Guerrero, a Realtor with Cfl Realty, who lives nearby. "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." The community contains 20th-century homes and a handful of local storefronts.
