La Jolla real estate

... find a luxury home in La Jolla or a second home in the "Village". Choose an ocean front home and be soothed to sleep by the surf and enjoy cool ocean breezes!

Arguably the most desirable and prestigious neighborhood in San Diego County.

Famed throughout the world La Jolla is a unique mix of business, recreation and breathtaking scenery. 
 

La Jolla - literally "The Jewel" in Spanish - and what a gem!
 

Home to a culturally diverse, highly educated community from all parts of the globe, many are drawn to the area by its links to the large number of academic and scientific resources.

La Jolla was recently rated by the prestigious Robb Report as one of the top 10 best towns in the USA to live (California's only entry) and without doubt, is a beautiful place to live, work and play!

Home of a University of California (UCSD) Scripps Institute of Oceanography, the Salk Institute and other research facilities.

La Jolla is dominated by Mount Soledad (rising to 822 feet above sea level).  Roads were planned so as many homes as possible could take advantage of the stunning views.

Most of the areas adjacent to the coast or within quarter or half of a mile of the ocean are flat or gently sloping with limited view potential.

Due to the near ideal climate many homes are designed for a combined indoor / outdoor living experience!

Torrey Pines is long recognized as one of the nation’s premier municipal golf facilities.  It is a “golfer’s paradise”, bounded by mountains to the north and the Pacific Ocean to the west.  

The Torrey Pines Tree is indigenous to this area and to Santa Rosa Island and is distinguished by having clusters of five pine needles.  Torrey Pines is a municipal course with very reasonable course fees.

Black's Beach -  a two mile long, sandy strip situated at the base of majestic cliffs up to 300 feet high. Formally known as Torrey Pines City Beach and Torrey Pines State Beach it is jointly owned by the City of San Diego and the State of California.

Access to Black's Beach is very difficult due to the high cliffs and lack of improved stairways. 

There is a glider port atop the cliff overlooking the beach where Hangliders, paragliders and remote controlled gliders can often be seen soaring. 
 

La Jolla Country Club, a private course designed by William Bell in 1928, this hilly, 18 hole private course features many trees and bunkers. 

Golfers will face narrow fairways and putting greens that feature bermuda turf.
