Chula Vista, California: De-stress Down Where It's Always Warm
Chula Vista is a small suburban city in southern San Diego County, California, near the Mexican border. With a population of around 217,000 it's neither so big that it feels impersonal nor so small that there's nothing to do. Chula Vista, CA is the perfect sized city in which to retire or raise a family, and with its balmy Mediterranean-style climate you'll always be free to roam the countryside and enjoy the surrounding mesas and nearby harbor that prompted its early residents to name it after the Spanish term for "beautiful view."
Early in Chula Vista, California's history the primary industy was agriculture. Chula Vista farmers grew lemons on vast tracts of land until unfortunate weather conditions and the labor requirements of the World Wars gradually brought it to an end. Today residents of Chula Vista find employment in many different sectors from technology to manufacturing to government. Many also commute to nearby cities like San Diego, which is only twelve miles away, for work.
Chula Vista was recently voted one of the most boring cities in America by Forbes magazine, and this is excellent for two reasons. "Boring" to Forbes means low to no crime, so you don't have to worry about being pickpocketed while you're attending a concert at the amphitheater or having your large, sprawling ranch home broken into while you're playing golf with your friends. It also means that there's none of that high-stress financial wheeling and dealing that Forbes readers are so fond of happening in Chula Vista, so you can sit back and relax. What boring does not mean is that there is nothing to do, because that's simply not the case!
