After moving from the other side of Chula Vista, and after an exhaustive search for a safe area that didn't cost and arm and a leg, I found Vista Hermosa Apartments. Located close to three schools, you would think the area would be loud. I beg to differ. The schools in the area are well monitored by crossing guards and mindful parents. The parking lot is well secured and used a chip card entry for going in and out of the lot. Each space has been assigned recently and new numbers painted on each... spot ( as of 8/15/15 ). When I moved in there was new management that had taken over a week earlier. The lady who manages the complex is helpful but very stringent on the rules where as it seemed the previous management was not. Since I have moved in, I have seen the complex take a 180 and have had nothing but positive experiences. Rent for a modest 1bd/1ba is about $1200. Neighbors are kind and quiet; Mostly small families and Military occupy the complex. The pool is regularly busy but not in a way that would make it hard to enjoy a dip. There are no Air-conditioners in the units but there is good air flow and a fan near the window will cool the place down a good bit. Most units have a porch or balcony (you are allowed sun shade fabric to give some privacy). All in all I would recommend moving in if you are looking for a place that is quiet, close to a school, and relatively inexpensive. Read More
