Chula Vista's latest residential development, which has some of the lowest prices for new homes in the region, was only possible after a zoning change. There are 718 homes at Sunbow, a new project from Miami-based Lennar in Chula Vista's Otay Ranch. It is a mix of townhouses and condos, ranging from $542,900 to $790,900. That means many of the new homes are less than the county's median for a resale condo, $689,000.
The community is split into four sections with slightly different architecture in each: Luna, Matiz, Prism and Soleil. The biggest unit for sale right now is a 2,052-square-foot townhouse in Soleil with four bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms for $717,900. The smallest is a 1,141-square-foot unit in Prism with two bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms for $542,900. Some homes in the development on the west side have views as far as Cabrillo National Monument.
