Neighborhood Spotlight – Chula Vista

Chula Vista CaliforniaLocated in the South Bay area of San Diego County, Chula Vista is the second largest city in the county and the 14th largest in California.

The U.S. Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, which opened in 1995, has facilities for archery, beach volleyball, canoeing/kayaking, cycling, field hockey, rowing, rugby, soccer, tennis, track & field, triathlon, and cross-training for various winter sports. Athletes are provided housing, dining, local transportation, recreational facilities, and professional development programs.

Music enthusiasts enjoy Sleep Train Amphitheatre, one of the largest live-music concert venues in San Diego. The outdoor facility can accommodate approximately 20,000 people and offers about 25 events per year.

In the heart of historic downtown Chula Vista is Third Avenue Village, featuring shops, restaurants, businesses, services, a boutique bed and breakfast, and rental halls. Activities along Third Avenue include a weekly Farmers Market, the Lemon Festival, Village Street Fair, Holiday in the Village, and the Starlight Parade.

The Chula Vista Marina provides boaters with a peaceful atmosphere away from the busyness of downtown. The area is a tropical paradise with spectacular sunsets.
