Interstate Parks Shopping Schools Upscale

Hilltop is a laid-back suburban neighborhood on the west side of the 805 freeway. The community is mainly residential, with the landscape largely defined by cozy homes, condos, and apartments. Residents enjoy a tranquil environment with many of Chula Vista’s prime attractions and amenities close at hand: the Terra Nova Plaza and Canyon Plaza shopping centers sit right across the freeway, and a couple of blocks to the west, Third Avenue provides an excellent walking district full of unique shops, specialty bistros, neighborhood bars, and other storefront businesses.

Drop into Chula Vista Brewery for a locally-produced pint, or check out a performance at On Stage Playhouse. Hilltop Park on the south end is a great spot to hang out and soak up the year-round sunshine. Hilltop Drive Elementary School, Hilltop Middle School, and Hilltop High School are all located within the neighborhood, giving local students the option of walking to class.
