    "Presently live in old Chula Vista for the past 2 yrs and Lived in Eastlake for 6 yrs about 20 yrs ago. I feel safe where I'm at for the most part but, felt safer in Eastlake. Chula Vista overall has a somewhat negative reputation but that's not even close to the truth. It's a safe friendly neighborhood/City."

    "I have no children and have no idea how the schools rank in scholastic achievement. It’s my guess that the high Asian and Hispanic population brings that score above average. I see kids playing only occasionally"
