What to know about moving in Chula Vista

The cost of living in Chula Vista is high compared to the national average. In fact, San Diego is ranked as the city with the 9th highest cost of living among the top 10 cities in the nation.1 With all this in mind, you can expect higher moving costs in Chula Vista.

The cost of a moving truck for a local move will be around $170,2 but expect a full-service moving company to charge a lot more for the added labor of packing and hauling.

If you’re planning an interstate move out of Chula Vista, your budget will look a lot different from a local move. Full-service companies in Chula Vista may charge upwards of $9,000,2 but you should be able to get a customized quote based on how many miles you’re traveling and how many days it will take.

Chula Vista is located halfway between San Diego and Tijuana and is known for its beautiful mountain and ocean views. The city is also home to an Olympic and Paralympic athlete training center,3 sprawling over 155 acres.

If you’re an American resident planning an international move from Chula Vista to Tijuana, it may seem like an easy 30-minute drive; however, there are a few things to keep in mind when taking up residency over the border:

  1. Be sure to visit the Mexican Consulate in San Diego to file for a visa months in advance. If you’re moving temporarily and don’t plan to work in Mexico, you can stay as a tourist for up to six months.4
  2. Make sure your passport is valid and up to date.
  3. Find work and housing before moving, if possible.
