Naval Base Coronado (NBC) and Naval Air Station North Island together form one of the most prestigious — and most expensive — duty stations in the United States Navy. Home to Naval Special Warfare Command (the SEALs), Carrier Air Wing operations, and multiple expeditionary forces, NBC attracts some of the Navy’s highest performers to one of California’s most coveted coastal locations. The median home price in Coronado itself exceeds $2,500,000 — but you don’t need to live on the island to be near the base, and your VA benefit makes surrounding neighborhoods genuinely accessible.
DiVita Home Finance specializes in VA jumbo loans and standard VA loans for Naval Base Coronado personnel. We know the difference between Coronado, Imperial Beach, Chula Vista, and National City — and we’ll help you find the right neighborhood for your budget and commute.

VA Jumbo Loans for Coronado
If you want to live on Coronado Island — and many senior officers and NSW personnel do — you’ll need a VA jumbo loan. San Diego County’s conforming limit is $1,209,750 in 2026. Any loan above that requires a jumbo VA product. DiVita offers VA jumbo loans to $3M+ for qualified borrowers with full entitlement and strong credit profiles. Down payment requirements vary by lender but we have programs with as little as 0–10% down even into the $2M+ range.
SEAL Teams, NSW & Special Operations
Naval Special Warfare Command is headquartered at NBC. If you’re in the NSW community, we understand your unique financial situation — deployment schedules, combat pay, hazardous duty pay, and frequent PCS moves. We’ve helped SEAL team members use tax-free combat pay as qualifying income, navigate back-to-back VA loans, and close remotely while deployed. Your entitlement doesn’t expire. Your benefit is real. Let us use it for you.
