Today, vacation homes are all the rage. From Alaska to Troncones, Mexico, people
of all walks of life are buying homes in idyllic locations to use on their vacations
or as second homes when they retire.
Chula Vista, at the southern tip of California in San Diego County, is one
of these idyllic locations. Choose to buy a home here and you might find yourself
with a New York dentist, a Mexico City optometrist, or a Mississauga lawyer
as a neighbor.
What is it about Chula Vista that recommends it as a good place to purchase
a piece of vacation home real estate? Well, first and foremost, there is the
city's location. Vacation homes line the tidy streets of quiet neighborhoods,
which lie just off the sandy shoreline of the Pacific Ocean. Palm trees abound
in this subtropical climate, the perfect place for lying out in the sun.
Depending on your level of boating experience, you may want to check out berths
for your hobby. There are plenty of marinas surrounding and within this coastal
city. Those familiar with Georgia Bay marinas will probably be amazed at the
high level of service provided at most of these state of the art facilities,
which serve a wide range of clientele.
Then, of course, there is the weather. The beautiful thing about Chula Vista
is that no matter what time of year it is, you can count on the weather to be
much better than most other places on this side of the continent. The temperatures
don't reach the sweltering highs of much of northern California and northern
Mexico, thanks to the coastal location. The winters never drop below 68 degrees;
in fact there is just a ten degree difference between winter and summer (there
is quite a lot of rain, too).
Proximity to San Diego means that many people who purchase vacation homes in
Chula Vista can rent them out, allowing the purchase to pay for itself! It's
a good thing that this option is open, too; if you are making house plans as
far as purchasing in Chula Vista you are going to have to pony up some serious
cash. Even the recent housing market crash hasn't shaved a lot off the
average price of a home in this well to do city!
If you plan to convert that vacation home to a retirement residence, Chula
Vista has many appealing amenities. Chief among them are the state of the art
health services offered thanks to the size and wealth of the city. Options ranging
from home health services to specialized illness care are all available.
If you are a person who likes to travel, jumping between a California spa package,
Massachusetts historical tour, and then back to the sunny beaches of San Diego,
Chula Vista may just be the perfect place to buy a vacation home. It's
got the location, the climate, and the economic stability to make the purchase
a good investment.
