About Bonita
Bonita is an unincorporated community in San Diego County's South Bay, set in the valley of the Sweetwater River. Chula Vista borders it to the west and the Sweetwater Reservoir lies to the east. Interstate 805 and State Route 54 run close by. The name comes from the Spanish word for beautiful.
Through the 1970s and 1980s, tract housing filled in most of the South Bay. Bonita kept its large lots, dirt road shoulders and horses. Riding trails still run through the valley and along the golf course, and Sweetwater Summit Regional Park and Rohr Park hold the open land at either end.
Each fall Bonitafest brings a parade and street festival through the valley. The Bonita Museum & Cultural Center keeps the area's ranching history on display. Children attend schools in the Chula Vista Elementary and Sweetwater Union High districts, and many homes in the 91902 ZIP code have stayed in the same family for decades.
