Bonita Real Estate

Bonita takes its name—meaning “pretty”—from the rolling hills and gorgeous scenery it looks out on. But what is truly exceptional is that its resistance to overdevelopment has left this area looking much as it did 50 years ago.

Bonita's homes are large and well maintained on spacious land. There are both defined neighborhoods with tract homes lined up on neat, tree-lined streets and cul de sacs, as well as large, custom built homes on their own lots measured by the acre. Residents here ensure that their property is planted with citrus trees or innovative landscaping, and often you'll see a barn or stables on the larger lots of Bonita real estate.

On the weekends, many Bonita residents take advantage of the trails around the area and go riding with their neighbors. Some of these riding trails are edged with lemon or orange trees—remnants of a time when this entire community consisted of groves. This heritage is celebrated annually at Bonitafest, along with the other things that distinguish this area: food, crafts and the crowd's favorite, the parade.

Bonita is an excellent place to raise children. As part of the Sweetwater Union School District, Bonita's schools have secured extra money to make technological upgrades to the classrooms, pulling them ahead of the curve of many other parts of California. With several public parks and a library, there are plenty of safe after-school activities for kids. Adults enjoy the great golfing in the Bonita area, and many take advantage of the higher education offered at nearby Southwestern Community College.

Property value ranges between $250,000 and almost $3 million.The average sales price of a Bonita home was $796,306 as of February 2006, a 33% increase over the previous year.
