Chula Vista Halloween Decorations you need to check out for 2024

Chula Vista Halloween Decorations

After my last post about Chula Vista Halloween Decorations, I received a flood of recommendations from all of you—thank you! Our community clearly knows how to celebrate the spooky season in style. From the eerie, spine-chilling homes to more family-friendly displays, there are some real showstoppers that you won’t want to miss.

Whether you’re looking for a fun night out with the kids or want to get into the Halloween spirit, these spots are guaranteed to impress. I’ve compiled a list of the best places to visit based on your suggestions and the houses that I have visited in the past. Trust me, these are worth the drive!

But before you grab your pumpkin spice lattes and head out, let’s go over a few ground rules to keep the Halloween fun going for everyone.

  1. Be respectful to the homeowner and their neighbors. Don’t be that person who climbs over the fence to take a photo. Enjoy the display from the sidewalk and watch your kids.
  2. Do not be that person who stops in the middle of the street to take a photo from their car. Find a parking spot and walk. Yes, you might have to walk a block or two, but this allows you to see the display up close.
  3. Be careful out there. It is dark, and many of these spots have kids walking around. Drive safe and pay attention. Watch for people walking in the street.

Now that we have gotten that out of the way, let’s get to the list.

Chula Vista Halloween Decorations
I love the house on Patricia Street with the Día de Muertos display. All three houses on this block do a great job.

1. H St. & Patricia Avenue (Google Maps)

This is a Halloween hotspot you can’t miss. Three houses on this street go all out every year, and they never disappoint. I was lucky enough to meet two of the homeowners as they were setting up—super cool people who love bringing the Halloween spirit to life. Check out the house with the incredible Día de Muertos display on the porch. Just a heads-up, the street is a bit narrow, so drive carefully!

2. 315 First Ave (South of F Street) (Google Maps)

If you’re looking for something a bit spookier, head to First Ave. This display is all about the creepy factor. If you had seen my Instagram Stories, you’d have remembered the eerie clown who talked to you. He’s just as freaky in person as he is in the video—his stare and voice are enough to give anyone chills. If clowns aren’t your thing, maybe skip this one, but if you’re up for a fright, you’ll love it!

3. 756 Nolan Ave (South of East J St.) (Google Maps)

Known for their amazing Christmas displays, this house has now embraced Halloween with open (and probably creepy) arms. The decorations are fantastic, and there’s even a house across the street worth checking out, too. I’ll be coming back here for my Christmas decorations list, but for now, the Halloween display is a must-see!

661 Floyd Avenue has a great Halloween display, and I can’t wait to see what they do for Christmas.

4. 661 Floyd Ave (North of East J St.) (Google Maps)

While you’re in the neighborhood checking out Nolan Ave, take a short drive up J St. to Floyd Ave. The Halloween display here is top-notch, and they’ve even got a giant dragon out front that steals the show. Like Nolan Ave, this house also shines during the holidays, so you’ll see them featured on my Christmas decorations list soon!

I shot this photo tonight at Porch Swing Street and they did an amazing job. The whole block has so many great houses. You really need to get out there and see it.

5. Porch Swing Street in Eastlake (Google Maps)

If you only have one night to check out Halloween decorations in Chula Vista, make it Porch Swing Street in Eastlake. This entire block goes all out, and even some side streets join in on the fun. The displays are incredible, with so much effort and creativity. You can drive through, but I highly recommend parking and walking to really take it all in. I haven’t been here on Halloween night, but I imagine it’s an absolute madhouse in the best way possible.

October 19th Update on Porch Swing Street in Eastlake

I was out there tonight, and all I can say is WOW! The neighborhood has truly outdone itself this year. You’ve got to see their incredible work in every house—it’s just stunning! I even had the chance to meet some homeowners, and their passion for bringing joy to the community shines through. They love putting in the effort and let me in on a little secret: come Christmas time, they’re going all out. They’re gearing up for a friendly showdown with Christmas Tree Circle, and I cannot wait to see what they have in store this December!

This list is just the beginning! I’ll add more spots as I find them, so bookmark this page and check back for updates. I’m still out and about, exploring all the amazing houses you’ve been sending my way. If there’s a spot I need to check out, send it over!

Stay safe, have fun, and Happy Halloween, everyone!
