Chula Vista sits within easy reach of everything that makes Fort Lauderdale worth living in — the beaches, the waterways, and neighborhoods like Victoria Park and Coral Ridge just minutes away. It's a smaller, low-key community where you'll find a mix of single-family homes, a couple of waterfront lots, and the occasional pool property, without the density of the beachfront high-rises up on the Galt Mile. Families here are drawn to the Nova school cluster, and the pace feels residential rather than resort.
For a buyer today, this is a thin, opportunity-driven market: just 8 active listings with a median list price of $550,000, spanning from $375,000 to $999,000. Homes are moving at a median of 37 days, and with only 2 sales in the past year sellers have been holding firm, collecting about 95% of asking. That combination — limited inventory, disciplined pricing — means serious buyers should be ready to move when the right listing appears. Browse what's available on the live map.

Chula Vista FAQs
Is Chula Vista a good place to live?+
It's a quiet, residential slice of Fort Lauderdale with easy access to the beach and downtown, which suits buyers who want calm over crowds. Homes feed into the sought-after Nova cluster, including Nova High School, and you're minutes from Victoria Park and Coral Ridge. The scale is small and single-family, so it feels more neighborhood than nightlife.
Is Chula Vista expensive?+
The median list price is $550,000, with active homes ranging from $375,000 up to $999,000 — so there's real spread depending on size and whether the property is waterfront. At an average of $426 per square foot, it's priced in line with central Fort Lauderdale, not the beachfront premium of the Galt Mile.
What do homes cost in Chula Vista?+
Right now the 8 active listings carry a median asking price of $550,000, while the two homes sold in the past year closed at a median of $627,500. Median home size is around 1,624 sqft at roughly $426 per square foot, so your budget stretches further on interior square footage here than on the water.
How is the market in Chula Vista?+
It's a low-inventory market — just 8 active listings and only 2 sales in the last 12 months — so options are limited and turnover is slow. Homes sit a median of 37 days, and sellers are averaging about 95% of their asking price, meaning there's some room to negotiate but not a lot of desperation. When a listing fits, act decisively.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Most homes here are single-family with no reported HOA, which keeps monthly carrying costs simpler than in the condo towers nearby. Property taxes run a median of about $2,738 per year, and if you're weighing renting versus buying, the median rent in the area is around $2,525 a month.
