The Sweetwater Valley community of Bonita-Sunnyside is a valley of contradictions. Rural values and urban sophistication. Stately homes and horse corrals. Natural beauty and urban encroachment. But beyond the contradictions stands the character of our residents: involved, committed, and responsive to change.
The citizens of this once rural and remote farming hamlet along the Sweetwater River have always worked together to make the valley an idyllic place to live. From the creation of a volunteer fire department and school in the 1800s, to the vibrant celebration known such as Bonitafest today, the region thrives on civic spirit and pride. The Sweetwater Valley Civic Association epitomizes these characteristics and works tirelessly advocating for our unique, unincorporated community.
The current population of this unincorporated community nestled in the heart of the Sweetwater district is currently 12,917, and increase of 6.3% since the year 2000. The appeal of this urban upscale community is driven by its rural, park like landscape and community aminities with its close proximitey to downtown San Diego. This has driven home values to rise at an amzing 18.7% in the last year alone. For those of you looking for a home or community with lots of nature but a very short commute to San Diego, this is a great community to loo into.
