Most prestigious neighborhood in San Diego County and among the rich and famed around the world. Since it has many apartments, La Jolla is probably not the richest neighborhood. However, in views, design and money some of the streets in La Jolla will rival the best in the nation. Also called the "Jewel by the Sea."

Located on the Pacific, many of the homes command great views. La Jolla is home to the University of California, San Diego, Scripps Institute of Oceanography, Salk Institute and other research institutes. So distinct is La Jolla, so wide is its fame that it is frequently spoken of as a city. La Jolla does have an informal "town" council but it is a neighborhood of the City of San Diego.

La Jolla rises gradually from Turquoise Street on the south and abruptly from the Pacific on the west ... hence the views. Some homes, phenomenal creations, sit on the bluffs high over the Pacific. Many other homes are modest affairs, three-bedroom, two bath, that sort of thing, well maintained, no view. You are paying for the location and the ambiance. About one in five residential units were built before 1950. About seven in ten were built between 1950 and 1980. La Jolla is still building but it doesn't have much room left as ravines weave through the terrain.

The children can attend Muirlands Middle School & La Jolla High School or two private schools, La Jolla Country Day and Bishops. The city offers four large parks, an underwater park, seal, whale and dolphin-watching, museums, YMCA, the university and all it offers, La Jolla Playhouse, Concerts in the Park, and the La Jolla Festival of Arts.

Older beautiful sea side resort town. Very well established, prestigious and very expensive.
