La Jolla Real Estate
La Jolla is pronounced "La Hoya" and means "the jewel" in Spanish.
This peninsula offers some of the most dramatic views in the world,
with dramatic prices to match. $800,000 buys only a townhouse here,
with detached homes easily $1.2M and up. You can expect to pay in the
$3M range for homes with dramatic ocean views. This is the home of many
successful and wealthy retired people living a relaxed lifestyle. You
could live somewhere else for less, but then it just isn't La Jolla.
The downtown area boasts many fine shoppes (with an e) in a charming village
atmosphere. The La Jolla Cove is a fine snorkeling spot and the place to
watch the seals, pelicans, and of course the people. Be sure to travel up
Mount Soledad for the most commanding view of San Diego County. This is truly
a world-class area of awesome beauty, visited by many, but home to only a
fortunate few.
