New Homes in EastLake

New Homes in EastLake

There are many unique and lovely communities within EastLake.

First of all Eastlake is within the city of Chula Vista within San Diego County  just south of the city of San Diego and just north of Baja Mexico. It has one of the best if not the best climates in the United Sates. Feels very Mediterranean. The communities within EastLake in South Bay San Diego are as follows; EastLake Hills, EastLake Shores, EastLake Greens, EastLake Trails, EastLake Vistas, EastLake Woods, EastLake Summit, and within the EastLake Woods is “The Gates at The Woods by EastLake”. You’ll know you’re in EastLake when you’re surrounded by beautiful mountain views, warm sunshine, and cool ocean breezes that reach EastLake from the coast. Much of the San Diego coast is unfortunately gloomy for a good part of the year and doesn’t get the sunshine that San Diegans love. EastLake could easily be called “Sunny EastLake” because it´s almost always sunny. Contact us or call us toady to learn more about EastLake and the EastLake new home communities.

EastLake Woods Real Estate and Homes

EastLake Woods Real Estate and Homes

EastLake Woods as well as EastLake Vistas are the two last EastLake projects.

EastLake Woods has the biggest homes on the biggest lots in EastLake. There is a wonderful gated community within EastLake Woods call “The Gates at The Woods by EastLake”. It was where the 2003 Tour d’Elegance was held. There is a beautiful bridge at the west entry to EastLake Woods. EastLake Woods has a great walking and jogging trail on its east border. The view from this trail is of open meadows, mountains and the Upper Otay Lake. This is a great walk any time of day and should be seen to appreciate the wilderness still left in EastLake. There are many coyotes out at night and an occasional deer in the meadow. Birds of prey are everywhere on the hunt. This is the back country of Chula Vista.

EastLake Woods has a gorgeous pool that was built by Davidson Communities and is located at 1150 Woods Drive. It’s like a Roman bath house.

EastLake Trails Real Estate and Homes

East Lake Trails Real Estate and Homes

East Lake Properties for Sale

EastLake Trails is known for its wooded trails feel, hence the name EastLake Trails. The community of EastLake Trails has many meandering trails through its community. Mountain views are stunning in this area. In the morning the clouds start to rise up from the Upper and Lower Otay Lakes and EastLake valleys and is a beautiful site surrounding the base of the mountains. The mountain views are good here because the community slopes downward into a seasonal river and estuary. The slope is to the east and so are the mountains which give most homeowners great EastLake mountain views. The estuary is a wildlife area and is also a nice place for a morning or early evening walk. There are lots of EastLake birds in the trees and marshes. There are also many birds of prey; eagles, hawks and owls hunting for rabbits as well. Although the owls are only out at night, you probably won’t see them but you will hear their screeches in the EastLake night.

East Lake Trails Real Estate

EastLake Trails has a great community pool and clubhouse. The residents of EastLake Trails can also use the pools at EastLake Woods and EastLake Vistas. There’s a part of EastLake Trails called EastLake Trails North. It is just west of EastLake Woods on the west side of Hunte Parkway.

EastLake California - A Brief History

In the early years of San Diego and Chula Vista there was vast acreage of San Diego County that was an open range sprinkled with roaming cattle. Rancho Janal was an early ranch in San Diego County east of Chula Vista. It was comprised of 4,436 acres of  ranch land. Janal is an Indian word meaning “spongy ground” - because of underground streams that covered the land. The old Rancho Janal Ranch is now the 3,200-acre master-planned community of EastLake.

In the year 1846 after the Mexican-American War that once and for all decided the ownership of California to be part of the United States of America, Chula Vista area ranch owners hat to prove that they owned the land that they ranched on. The land grants from Mexico were not a 100% guarantee that the United States would recognize them as the rightful owners. In 1872 Don Jose Guadalupe Estudillo received title to the Janal land grant.

Rancho Janal became the site for both the upper and lower Otay Dams and Reservoir, built for the Southern California Water Company in 1900 and 1901. The dams were built by E.S. Babcock, who also built the Hotel del Coronado in 1888. Henry G. Fenton, a subcontractor of Babcock, bought Janal in 1926 and farmed its 3,000 acres, growing lima beans and barley.

“During the Great Depression, when dad was growing lima beans on the ranch, he would turn the fields over to the needy, once the harvest had been completed,” Fenton’s daughter, Emily remembers. “There still were thousands of beans lying on the ground, and people would flock to the ranch by the hundreds to scoop them up into sacks to take home.”

When Fenton died in 1951, he left the ranch to Emily, who then married Navy Rear Admiral Louis H. Hunte. Emily later married Dean Black. She attended the groundbreaking ceremonies for EastLake with her son, Henry Hunte, ” where we get the name Hunte Parkway”  became president of Western Salt Company, the company founded by Fenton. “Western Salt has had a long-time desire to see the property developed into a quality planned community - one that my grandfather would have been proud of. The EastLake Company is accomplishing that goal,” Hunte said. The EastLake Company is now sole owner of the land.
