El Chaparral is a southbound vehicle crossing from San Diego into Tijuana. It is part of the San Ysidro Port of Entry. It replaced the former entry point known as Puerta México which stood immediately east of El Chaparral. The opening of El Chaparral roughly tripled the number of traffic lanes to 22, reducing wait times for vehicles entering Mexico. It is roughly in the same location as the former Virginia Avenue crossing, where trucks entering the US from Mexico prior to 1983 was located. Access is via a four-lane, temporary access road that is 0.2 miles (0.32 km) long and leads west from the end of Interstate 5.

Compared to other projects on the Costa del Sol, such as Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €418,800) and Aby Upper in Estepona (from €320,000), the bungalow in El Chaparral is positioned in the higher price segment, with a starting price of €595,000. This is comparable to Alba Benalmadena (from €598,000). The location in El Chaparral, inland but with good urban connections and proximity to Málaga, distinguishes it from coastal projects in Estepona which may be more tourism-focused. The immediate availability of this bungalow, which is already completed, contrasts with new build projects still under construction. The urban setting with walking-distance amenities, such as supermarkets and pharmacies (807m and 878m respectively), is a key feature differentiating it from more secluded villa projects. With 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms across 137 m² of living space and 350 m² of land, it offers solid living space competitive with other properties in this price range along the coast.
