About this House

Live in the heart of historic downtown Chula Vista in this beautifully and completely remodeled 1-bedroom, 1-bath home on iconic Third Avenue. Created by combining two units into one, this is a spacious, one-of-a-kind residence that pairs classic downtown character with a brand-new, from-the-studs modern makeover.

Everything is new. Enjoy rich hardwood flooring throughout, a remodeled kitchen with new cabinetry, your own in-unit washer and dryer, new windows that bring in great natural light (and help keep it quiet), and modern LED lighting throughout. It's completely move-in ready and truly turnkey.

Step out your front door and you're immersed in Third Avenue Village one of San Diego County's most vibrant, walkable downtowns. You'll be surrounded by a dizzying array of restaurants, craft breweries, coffee shops, and local boutiques, with the popular Sunday Farmers' Market, Memorial Park, and the public library just steps away. It's the kind of neighborhood where your car can stay parked while you walk to dinner, brunch, or your morning coffee.

And when you do need to venture out, quick access to the I-5 and I-805 freeways puts all of San Diego downtown, the bayfront, and beyond within easy reach.

    "As a dog owner something i dont like about my neighborhood is when there arent dog bags available outside without having to purchase when forgetting to bring one. Something i like is that stares and parks are nearby so i can walk my dog to the store or to the park"

    "Lived here since 2014. I have felt comfortable walking home at night 60% of the time. Just like anywhere else always be aware of your surrounding. It is a highly patrolled neighborhood since police station isn’t too far. Very family oriented neighborhood, with a moderate homeless problem on the main streets of the neighborhood. Many great place to eat locally. Gas prices are pretty decent compared to the rest of the SD county. "

    "My current neighborhood is not one, in my perspective, suited for families with children. All outside factors of the area, for example, maintenance, front yards, parking and overall neighborhood look is horrible. Everyone is always fighting for parking, people park their cars for dayyysss in the same spot, and cars are parked in front yards/sidewalks. My car got hit being parked. My husbands car was broken into. As far as look, there is always trash, furniture, dog poops and alcoholic glass everywhere. Yards aren’t kept up. Area is over populated to the point that there is not enough parking for everyone. I literally park two blocks away from my home every day. Overall, not a good neighborhood for families nor does it feel safe. "
