What's the Value of My La Jolla Home? La Jolla Home Sales for February 2025 La Jolla is one of the most expensive housing markets in San Diego County. When you tour La Jolla online (see Read More link below), or visit the community in person, it becomes obvious why this is so. As a buyer or seller in La Jolla, having up-to-date local market information about La Jolla homes for sale benefits you when you need to make informed decisions about buying and/or selling a home in La Jolla. La Jolla is an appealing coastal community with many homes offering beautiful views of the ocean from the hills and along the coast. There is an up-scale village offering top-notch shopping, dining, and services. La Jolla has been compared to the French and Italian Rivieras due to the wonderful ocean and coas...

La Jolla homes Neighborhood Series # 5 Bird Rock, San Diego, what a wonderful place to live. There’s a rock in the surf with a lot of birds on it (you’ll see it in this video), in case you were wondering where the name came from.  It’s got its own vibe, people with their dogs and kids at the Bird Rock Coffee Roasters Saturday am for the home made coffee and the best blues I’ve heard since Old Town in Chicago (free). A couple guys pass by with their surf boards walking the 2 blocks to the beach. 92037 is made up of many enchanting sub-areas. If you are new to La Jolla,all the different areas can be confusing. Each area offers a distinct sense of community and architectural character and affords many alternatives in living space and lot size. If you are looking for historical cottages, th...

La Jolla homes Neighborhood Series # 3 Lower and Upper Hermosa La Jollas’ Lower Hermosa – One of the loveliest Oceanfront neighborhoods in California. It shares the Wind’N Sea surf with the Beach Barber Tract to the North and the Village just beyond that, a confortable bicycle ride – these residents are either walking or biking. Understated elegance. I usually don’t prefer words like these, but I can’t think of another way to describe these homes. 92037 is made up of many enchanting sub-areas. If you are new to La Jolla,all the different areas can be confusing. Each area offers a distinct sense of community and architectural character and affords many alternatives in living space and lot size.

La Jolla homes at war (World War II) what were La Jollans thinking when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor   Have you ever wondered what La Jollans were thinking and doing when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.  The La Jolla homes Historical Society is presenting just that - the thoughts back then of everyday people as they gazed out at their beloved Pacific ocean looking for a Japanese invasion fleet.  A lot of this will surprise you.  Some of the reporting is inaccurate.  It was the beginning of womens lib.   Please pause each frame of this video so you'll have time to read their comments.  You'll be transported back to that perilous time.

La Jolla homes Christmas Parade, just like your hometown It's not the entire parade, that would be way too long, but it's enough to give you the flavor. Of course, there were the bands, and the local leader and celebrity convertibles, and the floats, there were even horses and camels, and clowns, and kids darting across the street between marchers, and dogs barking ceaselessly at all the chaos, and the different La Jolla neighborhoods were all represented

  A local man was walking on the beach in La Jolla Shores one early morning, he was stopped by a tourist who inquired: " What's it like here in San Diego? Are the people friendly, is there a sense of community? I'm considering moving here."   The local replied, " Are they kind where you come from? Do you enjoy community and friendships?"   The tourist replied, "Oh no, it's miserable there, that's why I want to move. I don't have any friends and no one is friendly!"   The local said "I think you'll find the same situation here." and parted ways with a friendly wave.   A little while later the same local man was stopped by a tourist who inquired: " What's it like here in San Diego? Are the people friendly, is there a sense of community? I'm may be moving here for work."   The local repli...

... I serve 24 - 36 clients per year successfully and maintain my boundaries!  A quick StoryOne Sunday (my random day off at the time), I was in the UTC / La Jolla Mall in my Golden Triangle neighborhood of San Diego.My bride and I strolled through many stores, as we do sometimes, so she can window shop and lay the groundwork for her Christmas & Birthday wish lists :). On our walk I wanted to stop by the Franklin Covey store to look at the inspirational books & planners. When we arrived at the front door it was locked, the store was dark and there was a large signboard in the middle of the door way. It read: "Thanks for stopping by. We are closed on Sundays so our employees can enjoy a day off to recharge with their families and bring you excellent customer service 6 days per week."  An...

Like La Jolla Shores? I used to surf at Scripps Pier and sometimes La Jolla Shores when I was a little grom ( 13 years old). My mom always took me to La Jolla Shores because it was the closest beach, at least the quickest to get to from Poway.
