Cockatoo Grove has an official spot on the map — it's a recognized place name in the U.S. Geological Survey's database — sitting in the Otay Lakes-area pocket of Chula Vista, about a mile from EastLake Greens.
Worth knowing: Cockatoo Grove is a historic place name that's since become part of Chula Vista's broader Otay Lakes area, rather than a modern, amenitized master-planned community like its EastLake neighbors — but it's a genuinely interesting piece of local geography.
