Tucked into one of Imperial Beach's best nooks, this home delivers where it counts. Original hardwood floors run throughout, and a layout that gives you real room to live and grow into. It's been freshly painted inside and out, with thoughtful updates along the way- the roof replaced in 2020, new water heater, and more. Kitchen is outfitted with stainless appliances and granite counter tops. The primary suite is a true retreat, with its own bathroom and a walk-in closet. French doors open to a patio that overlooks the backyard. Newer central air (2018) keeps the whole place comfortable year-round. The yard is fully fenced and genuinely usable: real grass, raised beds, and a chicken coop already in place. Home features mature fruit trees, and updated landscaping front and back. You're minutes from the sand, the pier, Seacoast Drive, and the restaurants and shops that give IB its character, with easy access to the 5 and quick trips to Coronado, downtown, and everything else San Diego County has to offer.

Southern San Diego, located between San Diego Bay and the Otay Mesa borderlands, is a coastal and borderland San Diego neighborhood with working waterfront views and canyon-cut open space. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Third Avenue Village corridor in Chula Vista, where taquerias, coffee counters, indie boutiques, and small galleries line the walkable blocks. Housing ranges from early 20th-century bungalows near older commercial streets to postwar ranch homes and newer hillside builds edging the canyons. The landscape shifts from bayfront paths and marinas to mesas and wide arterials that frame everyday errands. Community touchstones include the Chula Vista Center, the Living Coast Discovery Center, and the historic Hotel del Coronado just across the bay.
