North Chula Vista
Neighborhood in Chula Vista, California
San Diego County 91910, 91950
Nestled into a nook where the Sweetwater River flows out to the San Diego Bay, residents of North Chula Vista enjoy the beauty of a wildlife refuge next door, as well as a prime location at the apex of the 5 and 54 freeways. The neighborhood’s western edge offers access to miles of trails throughout the refuge and along the coast, as well as a popular nature center.
Homes here can range from spectacular two-story Spanish-villa-inspired homes, to beautifully remodeled 1940s ranchers, to less-than-1,000-square-foot units built in 2022 in a manufactured home community. You can also find Mediterranean-style condominiums. On most streets, mature palms and native trees line the sidewalks.
In North Chula Vista, public school students can walk to the Mae L. Feaster Charter School serving kindergarten through eighth grades and continue on to Chula Vista Middle and Chula Vista Senior High Schools in the Sweetwater Union High School District. Chula Vista High School includes the School of Creative and Performing Arts’ highly regarded art, music, dance and theatre programs. The SCPA has received three California Golden Bell awards as well as the California Exemplary Arts Education Award for demonstrating broad-based achievement in Arts instruction. The high school’s choir, orchestra and band travel to perform nationally and internationally.
Living in North Chula Vista by the San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge means that residents can head right down E Street to the Living Coast Discovery Center, well-known for its itinerary of events, workshops and tours. Here, residents can explore the aquarium, touch velvety rays, and walk through a native pollinator garden.
The community’s residential heart is intersected and bordered by several dining and retail areas. Along Broadway, locals love the Italian specialties at Filippi's Pizza Grotto, and meet up for cocktails, live music and televised sports at Star Gazer Club.
Jordan Conde, a North Chula Vista resident, and manager at the Elan View Pointe Apartment community in North Chula Vista, explained that some of the neighborhood’s finest cuisine is found at its authentic Mexican eateries. Conde shared, “this whole area is close to the border and so you get some of the best Mexican food here. Tacos El Gordo is super popular, and for a nicer dining atmosphere, there’s La Quinta Grill.” Conde added, “People living here also love all the really great breweries along Third Avenue; like the Chula Vista Brewery and Three Punk Ales. And the Balboa South brewery has an awesome burger that everyone loves.”
In the community’s northwest corner, local employers share the Regency Industrial Park, and along the northern edge, near the 54 freeway, residents frequent a range of retailers including Hobby Lobby, Best Buy, and Walmart. Aldi grocery store is also in this retail area along with some fast-casual eateries for sandwiches or Chinese food. A small center at the corner of C Street and Fourth Avenue is where you can pick up a coffee at Starbucks or essentials at CVS.
In addition to all the community’s conveniences, North Chula Vista residents also treasure their holiday traditions. Locals host an annual Christmas Parade on Third Avenue as well as a beloved Christmas Circle of light displays. Area residents have been walking or driving along the sparkling decorated homes that comprise this celebration for more than 65 years.
In North Chula Vista, you’ll find a community that offers a blend of multicultural eateries, retail centers and residential areas that maintain a lively suburban ambience.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
