La Jolla, also called “the Jewel By
the Sea” is arguably the most desirable and prestigious neighborhood in
San Diego County – famed throughout the world!
Grand, luxurious, diverse
La Jolla homes dot the landscape into the hills with verandas and decks
facing the ever-present sunset views. Mount Soledad dominates this town
(rising 822 feet above sea level) and road planning throughout allowed
for optimum lots with stunning views. Small La Jolla beach homes and many
apartments make living a little more affordable to those who cannot afford La
Jolla real
estate ranging well into the $10 millions. La Jolla’s ocean view bluffs,
sloping canyons and smooth sandy beaches make this seaside town unlike
any other.
The town is home to the University
of California, San Diego, the Salk Institute, and Scripps institute of
Oceanography. Other medical research and bioengineering facilities are
strategically placed near the University, allowing many residents a
short commute to work.
This community has probably the second largest
concentration of Biotechnology in the country, behind Boston.
As a
part of the City of San Diego, La Jolla is not its own city but
certainly has the reputation of one, hosting a large art community and
many retired Hollywood stars & Nobel winners. One of La Jolla’s best
attractions is the village guided by Prospect Street and Girard, which
hosts many shops, boutiques, galleries, and a multitude of four-star
restaurants, many overlooking the Pacific. The
La Jolla Beach &
Tennis Club is known the world over, it's unusual in that it owns
the beach up the the high tide mark. The
Children's Pool has also had
some notoriety with it's resident seal population. Just east of Interstate 5 is La Jolla’s business center
with high rise offices, hotels, apartment complexes, and a large
Westfield shopping center.
Public schools have a reputation of
ranging into the 80th to 90th percentile for
statewide scores and private learning is offered in abundance. In 2002
La Jolla High School was granted permission to run the school program as
the faculty saw fit. A large bond from San Diego residents will renovate
and improve all San Diego schools, including La Jolla.
Because
of the university’s facilities and the many educated residents who are
privy to world affairs and intellectualism, the arts community thrives
and clubs meet regularly. Facilities and events include a sports
complex / concert hall at UCSD, Concerts in the park, the La Jolla
Festival of Arts, two golf courses, about 10 parks, a library, one of
the countries only
computer labs, and the La Jolla Playhouse, founded with the help of the
late Gregory Peck. This town boasts a sense of society, with class and
money to boot.
