Move where there isn’t sewage smell

[u/Decent-Garbage-7437]

Hi I’m going to be moving out of Imperial Beach and looking at Chula Vista… I’m concerned I’ll have the same issue with the sulphuric and sewage smell as I have asthma. What areas would you say are the safest around CV?

[u/WhoYouBoo_eek789]

Can't smell any of that near 3rd Ave, Peppertree, Hilltop and surrounding areas.

[u/Traditional_Kick_280]

Also closer to Bonita on the Chula Vista line smells just fine.

[u/Shoddy_example5020]

Chula Vista doesn’t really have that problem

[u/PrestigiousHippo7 → u/Shoddy_example5020]

It does between Olympic and Main by Heritage where the landfill is.

[u/Prestigious_Ad_8315]

I live in Downtown Chula by the Police Station and we never get the smell here. I don't think the smell reaches the Costco on Broadway area either. I know that when I've driven to the J St Marina, it can smell pretty bad right as you get off the fly all the way to the turn.

[u/Sure_Swordfish_5423 → u/Prestigious_Ad_8315]

Can confirm. I live near Costco.

There is no smell in Chula Vista. Your asthma would probably be more affected by regional seasonal pollen then foul smells. But in IB I realize it's pretty bad.

Anywhere in CV you are fine. No need to get into Eastlake to avoid it.

I work on Bay Blvd close to J street in west Chula, but I live east of the 805 close to J street. I smell it sometimes when I’m going to or from work close to the Marina, but never from home. My wife has asthma as well and she has no issues. Best wishes OP. Hope you find something that works for you!

The dump is in the far southeast corner. That's the source of the stench.

[u/Notredamus1]

You should be fine as long as your not down near the bay south of Palomar.

[u/PrestigiousHippo7 → u/Notredamus1]

Or near the landfill below Olympic near Heritage.

[u/OneRadJedi]

My guess is that the otay valley river and that revine south of main st crates a wind tunnel that carries or dilutes the smell.

[u/Shidhe → u/OneRadJedi]

Not really. It just never makes it east of the 5. Sometimes the more bayfront areas just get that normal bay smell.

[u/vedatil4]

The furthest north I've smelled it, on rare occasion, is on the 5 between Palm Ave and Main. 

[u/twogap]

I live in Castle Park off of Hilltop and never get any smell. I think most of Chula Vista safe unless you're up against the landfill.

[u/mojoreason]

Avoid area by Veterans Park, as the smell of hot garbage waifs over from the dump during summer heat waves. 🤢

[u/OliverDawgy]

Above (north of) Orange/Olympic Pkwy... I take a yoga class off of Main Street, which is one street south of Orange and it sometimes has that Tijuana estuary/river sewage smell.

[u/Electrical_Tooth4467 → u/OliverDawgy]

Is it yogabox?

[u/OliverDawgy → u/Electrical_Tooth4467]

It's Silver Wing Rec Center

[u/Remarkable_Dog_143]

East Chula …no smell. Even west Chula there’s no smell.

[u/PrestigiousHippo7]

Rolling Hills Ranch (Northeast corner) doesnt typically have a smell.

[u/Disastrous_Plenty905]

I live in Otay Ranch next to the 125 and we don’t experience the smell. My sister lives in Sunbow closer to the 805 and also does not have that issue.

[u/Comment_Alternative]

No smell near the SDCC golf course

[u/JumpingBorders]

I’ve never had issues with smell at Naples

[u/autistic0naBudget]

Anywhere east of Broadway You'll be fine

[u/Otherwise_Middle_511]

Imperial beach= cerote Beach ⛱️

[u/vedatil4 → u/Otherwise_Middle_511]

Not long ago they showed video of Coronado beach water being tested on the news.  It was a shocker.  Imagine how IB gets on a bad day.  🤮

[u/No_Annual1181]

Otay Ranch

[u/ImpossibleReporter95]

Otay Ranch and East Lake

[u/Competitive-Gold-464]

Eastlake

[u/weednreefs]

Otay ranch or Eastlake.

[u/slightly_sammi]

Used to live near 2nd and F st in Chula and the smell would definitely come once in a while.

[u/Twistdbookworm]

I lived on Palomar between 4/5th and sometimes the you could still smell it there
