La Jolla Real Estate

La Jolla is a beautiful northern suburb of San Diego offering miles of sought-after waterfront real estate. Located on a cliff and beach headland about eight miles north of downtown, this community is ideal for home buyers who want to live in San Diego but not be surrounded by big city crowds. La Jolla's hilly terrain also affords a wide variety of view properties, with some wooded hillsides rising 1000 feet or more along the coast here - custom home builders looking for an opportunity to create unique landscaping and architecture always enjoy the chance to work here. As a result, La Jolla is one of San Diego's premier high-end housing markets.

The La Jolla community is also in close proximity to a number of educational institutions including the University of California, San Diego, the Salk Institute and Scripps Institution of Oceanography. It's also one of the many areas throughout the San Diego area that was once occupied by the Kumeyaay. The community officially came into being in 1850, when it was incorporated into the city of San Diego at the same time the city received its charter.

La Jolla Real Estate Market Trends

Careful city planning and building regulations help preserve the area's coastal beauty and keep its size in check, ensuring strong demand for the limited numbers of homes here. La Jolla is still just the size of a small city despite being one of San Diego's oldest communities. This kind of growth has made a La Jolla home a solid real estate investment.

La Jolla holds the distinction of being one of the most expensive housing markets in the San Diego area. Nevertheless, homebuyers are able to find affordable homes that meet their needs. Most homes within the affluent community are grand affairs featuring four or more bedrooms and an equal or greater number of bathrooms. Some of the more affordable homes for sale in the area consist of townhomes and condominiums with one to two bedrooms and plenty of other common features. Most of the residents in La Jolla are employed with the nearby universities as well as biotech and software companies headquartered with San Diego.

Things To Do In La Jolla

The community of La Jolla offers its fair share of fine dining and entertainment, including establishments such as Alfonso's of La Jolla, George's at the Cove and Nine-Ten Restaurant & Bar. Residents are never too far away from the nightlife and sporting events offered in the downtown area.

The area is also surrounded by plenty of beaches, giving rise to opportunities for a little sun and fun. Black's Beach, located near Torrey Pines, is one of the more interesting beaches due to the northern portion being a "swimwear optional" beach. Other beaches include Wind and Sea Beach, La Jolla Cove and Wipeout Beach.
