<h1 style="text-align: center;">Bonita, <em>San Diego</em></h1>
<p>Snug between Chula Vista and San Diego, Bonita is a small town of just 12,000 residents. Another town that started in the lemon growing business, Bonita means "beautiful" and was the name of a ranch located there in the late 1800s. Bonita enjoys a combination of the major weather patterns in San Diego, with periods of coastal fog and lower temperatures, but &nbsp;never quite hitting the highs of its inland neighbors. The median home price is $667,000.</p>
<p>As with many small towns, the shopping and dining options may seem limited in Bonita, but there are a few gems hidden there. If you're looking for upscale fine dining without a trip downtown, try Restaurante Romesco, praised for its Spanish cuisine. Check out TJ Oyster Bar, for ceviche or fish tacos, without having to go south of the border. If you don't find what you want at the Bonita Farmers' Market, or Von's, the local grocery chain, you'll have to head into Chula Vista for more choices.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Bonita features Rohr Park, 60+ acres that include hiking and biking trails. Rohr is at the edge of the Chula Vista Golf Course, a large public golf course that is one of the best values in San Diego.</p>
