Otay Mesa Real Estate

Otay Mesa, just north of the border, is a community poised for a quick and successful expansion. Because of its unique business situation, geography and open space, Otay Mesa is prepared to become one of the most important areas in San Diego County.

The area employs over 17,000 workers in major companies like Sony and Panasonic. Because Otay Mesa is so close to the Mexican border, it qualifies for certain tax breaks and trade qualifications that will draw in more major employers as the area and the workforce expand.

And Otay Mesa has the space to accommodate these workers. Property is so open there that there are still undeveloped tracts of land with ocean views. Many of the existing residential structures are apartments and tract housing. Developers are beginning to expand outwards now, preparing to accommodate an influx of people drawn there for its affordable space, where they can get better houses on more acreage for their incomes. Otay Mesa is projected to be home to around 32,000 residents. In February 2006, the average home sold for $519,516 in this bustling community.

The school system is also getting ready for this population growth and expansion. With over $500 million in bonds secured to renovate and update the public school system, Otay schools will soon be on par with some of the best in San Diego County. The Sweetwater Union High School District has also teamed up with state and community colleges to take on the establishment of the Otay Mesa Higher Education Center. This facility focuses on preparing students for education beyond high school.

Although quickly developing, the area is dedicated to maintaining at least part of its openness. Part of its land is set aside for public facilities, and agriculture is still an economy here. Otay Mesa residents still feel as though they live in an open space, and Otay real estate allows them to actually do so.
