outh County has blossomed into an area

of high-end gated communities, upscale

shopping centers, and a plethora of recreational

opportunities. In this, and in future issues, we

will highlight some of the charms of Chula Vista,

Bonita, Eastlake, Otay Ranch, and other South

County communities.

Chula Vista Elementary School District

Rising to the challenge

The Chula Vista Elementary School District’s

Academic Performance Index score is

833—placing the District among the highest

performing school systems in San Diego County.

The district also boasts a Dual Immersion

program in many of their schools that is growing

in popularity with the community. Parents enroll

their children in kindergarten and by the time

they graduate 6th grade they are proficient in

two languages.

For more information on all schools in the area,

visit The South County Buzz Blog @

www.chulavistacommunityhotspot.blogspot.com

the only time you’ve

been to South

County in the past

decade or so is on a

freeway headed for

Mexico, you don’t

know what you’ve

been missing.

Otay Ranch Town Center

Otay Ranch Town Center is the first major

shopping and entertainment center to come

to the San Diego metropolitan market in more

than 20 years. For South County, it completely

redefines the manner in which public gathering

spaces blend with fashionable, fun stores,

white-tablecloth dining and entertainment. A

place for both shopping and social interactions

with retailers presented in an urban street

setting, Otay Ranch caters to both domestic

and international shoppers.

Visitors walk down urbane, bustling, open-air,

shop-lined sidewalks with on-street parking,

outdoor cafés and grand fountains. A pet-

friendly setting and adjacent doggie park

welcome 4-legged visitors, and a centrally

located “chalk garden” and popper fountain

for children make this destination especially

one-of-a-kind. Sophisticated “California

heritage” architecture -- with attention to detail

-- creates a place that people will revisit to

play, gather, linger, shop and be entertained.

S

YMCA Teen Center

T H E U N D I S C O V E R E D B E A U T Y O F

S A N D I E G O ’ SRetailers such as Aéropostale, Vans and Pac Sun enhance the

urban setting and welcome the action sports shopper. Otay Ranch

has a sophisticated mix of retailers such as Anthropologie, Sephora

and Coach as well as a trendy hip mix with H&M, Hollister, Bebe,

Guess, Victoria’s Secret and Apple.

Otay Ranch is bringing farmers and communities together with

a weekly Certified Farmer’s Market that features seasonal fresh

produce, hand crafted items and gourmet treats. The Farmer’s

Market is an amenity that is second to none. Otay Ranch is a

place of energy and vibrancy creating a remarkable shopping

experience.

South Bay YMCA

2010 marks the South Bay YMCA’s 50th year of service! The South

Bay Family YMCA serves more than 40,000 individuals annually in

the communities of Chula Vista, Bonita and National City and has

done so for nearly half a century. With more than 450 staff and

hundreds of volunteers, the South Bay Family YMCA offers various

life-enriching programs including childcare, health & fitness, sports,

gymnastics, as well as activities for older adults and teens.

We are proud to say the South Bay Family YMCA is now the

third largest YMCA branch in San Diego County, large in part to

the support of the community and its business partners - not to

mention the popularity and fantastic amenities and services they

provide our community.

The South Bay Family YMCA branch is the largest YMCA

childcare provider county-wide. More than 4,000 kids are served

daily through our Before & After School programs located on

elementary and middle school campuses.

Last year, the South Bay Family YMCA gave $1.5 million dollars

in scholarships and financial assistance to individuals who

participated in programs and membership at our YMCA, which was

one-eighth of our overall budget.

Every year the South Bay Family YMCA Annual Support Campaign has a goal of

raising $325,000 in needed funds to ensure that no one is turned away because

of the inability to pay .94 cents of every dollar donated to the South Bay Family

YMCA goes back into programs and assistance for families in need.

These dollars help your YMCA fulfill its purpose of building strong kids, strong

families and strong communities. Annual Support Campaign makes our community

stronger by enriching the spirit, mind and body of people who desire a safe, caring

and nurturing environment, while improving their health and overall well being.

If you are interested in giving, contact the South Bay YMCA, or your local McMillin

Realty office. McMillin Realty has been assisting the YMCA in their fundraising

efforts for many years. It is a program very close the the McMillin family.
