Coldwell Real Estate Launches 10-Day Coldwell Banker Real Estate Sales Event-Irene Chandler-Jim Shultz-858-775-6782

Click List of Participating Properties or on 10 Day Sales Event image below to access discounted property list!

Coldwell Banker Real Estate has kicked off a 10-Day Sales Event from Oct. 10-19 during which participating home sellers from across the nation will reduce the listing prices of their homes by up to 10 percent. In the La Jolla area, "we're hearing loud and clear from many of our sellers that they're comfortable with lowering their listing prices if it means getting offers and selling quickly," said Irene Chandler and Jim Shultz, Associate Vice Presidents of Coldwell Banker La Jolla. In a recent survey of 3,379 Coldwell Banker real estate professionals in markets across the U.S., 56 percent said listing prices in their market remain above where they need to be to attract qualified buyers. Additional findings from the survey include: 77 percent agreed the majority of sellers in their market still have unrealistic expectations regarding initial listing price for their homes. 79 percent agreed homes in their market that are priced appropriately are attracting more buyers and moving more quickly. 76 percent feel a 10 percent or less reduction in listing prices in their area is all it will take to help push these homes over the "tipping point" to a sale. "Despite the difficult headlines regarding our overall economy, the residential real estate market has been showing several positive signs over recent months that could be signaling a tipping point," said Jim Gillespie, president and chief executive, Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC. "The recent housing and economic recovery legislation also provides first-time home buyers with the added incentive of a $7,500 tax credit."

Please contact Irene Chandler and Jim Shultz to learn more about Coldwell Banker's ten day sales event and to assist you with exploring the property listings that are being discounted during this special sales event!

Pacific Beach-Pacific Beach Homes-La Jolla Homes-La Jolla Real Estate

Pacific Beach

The view south of Crystal Pier

Pacific Beach is a neighborhood of San Diego, bounded by La Jolla to the north, Mission Beach to the south, Interstate 5 and Clairemont to the east, and the Pacific Ocean to the west. While largely populated by surfers and college students, the population is becoming more professional and affluent, due to rising property and rental costs.

"PB", as it is known by local residents, is also one of San Diego's more popular nightlife areas, with dozens of bars, cafes, and eateries lining both the main east-west street Garnet Avenue, and Mission Boulevard, which runs north-south.

Tourmaline Surf Park, Pacific Beach

Beaches

Pacific Beach has miles of shoreline and beaches along the Pacific Ocean to the west and Mission Bay to the South. The boardwalk overlooking the Pacific Ocean runs from Palisades Park South at Beryl Street in Northern Pacific Beach, to Mission Beach, the neighborhood and beach directly to the south.

There is also a sidewalk along Mission Bay which runs around Crown Point through Sail Bay and Mission Beach. The boardwalk is typically crowded with pedestrians, cyclists, rollerbladers, and shoppers. The beach scene revolves around Crystal Pier, a large pier and hotel at the west end of Garnet Avenue.

Alcohol

Alcohol is illegal on the sand in Pacific Beach as of 2008.

Smoking

Effective August 17, 2006, after months of legal debating and thoughts of exceptions, the City of San Diego banned smoking at all city beaches and parks. As of the summer of 2007, smoking on the boardwalk is prohibited as well.

Streets

The primary north-south street running along near the beach is Mission Boulevard. The other parallel streets are all named after late 19th century federal officials, in alphabetical order as they move further from the coast: Bayard, Cass, Dawes, Everts, Fanuel, Gresham, Haines, Ingraham, Jewell, Kendall, Lamont, Morrell, Noyes, Olney, Pendelton. Mission Boulevard was formerly Allison Street, being the "A" street of the series.

History

Pacific Beach was developed during the boom years of 1886-1888 by D. C. Reed, A. G. Gassen, Charles W. Pauley, R. A. Thomas, and O. S. Hubbell. It was Hubbell who "leared away the grainfields, pitched a tent, mapped out the lots, hired an auctioneer and started to work." To attract people, they built the Race Track and San Diego College of Letters, neither of which survive today. A railway also connected Pacific Beach with downtown San Diego, and was later extended to La Jolla.

Bars and nightlife

Pacific Beach is one of the main centers of nightlife in San Diego. Garnet Avenue between Ingraham Street and Mission Blvd. is the main area where bars and restaurants are located. Pacific Beach tends to cater to a younger college- and post-college-oriented crowd, compared to downtown San Diego's Gaslamp District. Dress codes are generally less strict if they are enforced at all.

Torrey Pines Golf Course-La Jolla Homes-La Jolla Real Estate

Sat, 16 Aug 2008 11:57:49 -0700

Torrey Pines Golf Course

Torrey Pines Golf Course is a municipal public golf course owned by the city of San Diego, California. It sits on the coastal cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean in the community of La Jolla south of Torrey Pines State Reserve. It has two famous golf courses, the North Course and the South Course. The South Course was designed by William F. Bell and redesigned by Rees Jones in 2001. It is now a par 72 course at 7,643 yards (6,989 m) in length from the back tees.

Much like Bethpage Black on Long Island, Torrey Pines boasts a unique method to ensure continued public access to the course. On weekends, individuals arrive as early as 6 p.m. the prior night to get in line for the first come / first serve tee times that are given out from sunrise till the first reservations at 7:30 a.m..

Torrey Pines is the home of the PGA Tour Buick Invitational each year in January or February. It hosts the San Diego City Amateur Golf Championships every June, and the Junior World Golf Championships every July and hosted the 2008 U.S. Open Golf Championship.

Torrey Pines is the featured golf course in the 1990 computer game Links: The Challenge of Golf by Access Software (now Indie Built) as well as in Microsoft Golf 2.0 by Microsoft.

It is named after the Torrey Pine, a rare tree that grows in the wild only in parts of the coastline in San Diego County and on Santa Rosa Island.

Tiger Woods won the 2008 U.S. Open Golf Championship over Rocco Mediate in a sudden death playoff on the seventh hole with a par over Rocco Mediate's bogey after playing an eighteen hole playoff, which they finished with even par 71's. Tiger Woods had to birdie the 72nd hole in order to force the playoff and again in the playoff on the 90th hole in order to reach sudden death; further, both players finished the tournament at 283, which was one under par. This was Tiger Woods third U.S. Open victory, and his fourteenth major win for his career, which puts him four behind Jack Nicklaus in men's major golf championships. This was on the South Course.

Black's Beach-La Jolla Homes-La Jolla Real Estate

Sat, 16 Aug 2008 11:52:02 -0700

Black's Beach

The cliffs surrounding Black's Beach.

Black's Beach is a beach in La Jolla, San Diego, California. Portions of the beach lie under city property and other parts lie in the zone of a state park, where nudity is legal, It is perhaps the largest nude beach in the United States and is popular with many Southern Californian nudists and naturists. It is situated north of downtown La Jolla and south of Torrey Pines State Reserve. Access is available from La Jolla, Torrey Pines State Reserve, or via trails down the cliffside by the historic Torrey Pines Gliderport near the Salk Institute. Part of Black's Beach is within the State Park, and part within the City of San Diego. Nudity is prohibited on the city portion of the beach, but is tolerated for about a mile north of the trail head leading to the gliderport -- the portion within the State Park.

Beach, hang gliders, and cliffs.

A volunteer group called the Black's Beach Bares helps to keep the beach clean, safe, and maintained. They also host events and picnics through the summer at the beach. They are affiliated with The Naturist Society and the Las Vegas Bares.

Black's Beach is known to surfers as one of the most powerful beach breaks in Southern California. The waves gain the power due to the focusing effects of an underwater canyon just offshore. Because of the large surf and aggressive crowds, Black's is a dangerous surfing location.

The Torrey Pines Gliderport sits on the bluff atop Black's Beach 300-foot (91 m) cliff.

The beach is very close in proximity to the University of California, San Diego and is popular with the students of the university. Many students can be seen walking from the university to Black's.

La Jolla Cove

La Jolla Cove on a busy Labor Day weekend

The beach at La Jolla Cove is located at 1100 Coast Boulevard, in La Jolla, California. It is a very small beach within walking distance from the Children's Pool Beach, and it is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Southern California. The sand on this beach however is coarse and gritty.

Scripps Park, a grassy area excellent for picnicing, is located on the bluffs above the beach. The beach is also within walking distance of many shops and restaurants.

La Jolla Cove is popular for swimming, scuba diving and snorkeling. However, since La Jolla Cove is within the San Diego-La Jolla Underwater Park(a marine refuge area), "Swimming devices" (surfboards, boogie boards, even inflatable mattresses) are not permitted at the cove, and this rule is carefully enforced by the lifeguards, specifically the part defined as the Ecological Reserve.

Just a short swim away to the right of the coast is "Sunny Jim Cave," a popular destination for tourists. Which is also accessible from a nearby store which charges a nominal fee to go down a staircase leading to the cave.

No fishing or collecting of marine invertebrates, (even taking dead specimens or shells) is allowed. All sea animals are highly protected in this area by law, and individuals taking part in festivities such as crab hunting, fish punching, and hermit crab domination are at high risk of criminal prosecution.

la Jolla Children's Pool-La Jolla Homes-La Jolla Real Estate

Sat, 16 Aug 2008 11:43:48 -0700

Children's Pool Beach at La Jolla

Seals at Children's Pool.

Children's Pool Beach, or the Casa, or Casa beach, is a small sandy beach located at 850 Coast Boulevard, at the intersection of Jenner Ave, in La Jolla, California.

In 1999, the National Marine Fisheries Service recognized the Children's Pool as a natural harbor seal haulout and rookery site. In 2005 it advised the City it could remove the seals without asking permission. In 2007, a court order mandating clearing accumulated sand and shooing away the seals to allow children to swim there again was unanimously upheld by a 3 judge appeals court. The seals are protected under the federal Marine Mammal Protection Act. Back in January 2007, the City maintained a rope barrier from December 15 through May 15, so pregnant seals can rest and give birth on the beach without humans coming too close and frightening them. Pupping season is officially mid January to mid April. The rope was put up with no legal authority but as an "indicator", with an opening for the public to pass through as mandated by the Coastal Commission. A permit for the same rope this year is yet to be acted on.

A sea wall protects the beach from waves, making it a favored spot for the seals and divers and swimmers. Before the sea wall was built in 1931, there was a shallow water area between a large rock and a mainland bluff called "Seal Rock Point." The sea wall was built on top of several rocks, across the channel, connecting it to Seal Rock Point. Local benefactress Ellen Browning Scripps paid for the project and dedicated it as the Children's Link titlePool "..devoted exclusively to public park, bathing pool for children, parkway, highway, playground... Seal Rock is and always has been 100 yards (91 m) north, where seals had always played. In 1990's, to help promote a reserve at Seal Rock, Sea World began dropping all rescued and rehabilitated harbor seals from the entire county in the kelp beds off Seal Rock. The seals were used to humans and joined them on the nearby Children's Pool Beach. To this day they are very acclimated to people and will play with swimmers and divers. Often the seals will nip at the feet of divers and are particularly attracted to the hands and feet of smaller swimmers. While no deaths have occurred, lifeguards on the beach have added tourniquets and hospital grade skin disinfectant to their daily stock of supplies.

Harbor seals began using the beach in increasing numbers in the 1990s as a haul-out spot after the Sea World veterans began showing up. There continues to be heated controversy over whether the beach should be protected as a marine sanctuary or used for recreational swimming. This in spite of the ruling by the Coastal Commission that Children's Pool cannot be used as a marine preserve. Currently, swimming is allowed but not typically recommended due to a high Coliform Index which is entirely due to seal feces. Though many people do swim there, few get sick, and fewer still are hospitalized.

California sealions also use this beach as a haul-out area. Children are warned to avoid the Children's Beach during the pupping season lest they be hauled in, not out, of the ocean. Seals are very protective of their new borns, and need to eat to replace lost blubbler to sustain floatation. Children's Beach advocates, citing the will of Ms. Scripps in founding the beach, would like the children "to safely play in the beach year round". Seals seem not to have read the will.

La Jolla Windansea Beach-La Jolla Homes-La Jolla Real Estate

Sat, 16 Aug 2008 11:36:40 -0700

Windansea Beach

Windansea Beach encompasses a historic stretch of scenic coastline located in La Jolla, a community in San Diego, California. It is named after an oceanfront hotel that burned down in the late 1940s. Geographically, it is defined by the beachfront extending north of Palomar Avenue (Big Rock) and south of Westbourne Street (Simmons). Historically, it is defined by some of the most progressive and colorful characters in California surf history.

The main peak at Windansea is a classic reef break and has long been famous among the region's most skilled surfers for its reliable waves and consistently good form. The geographic location of Windansea's reefs is ideally situated to host a broad variety of swell directions, especially the fickle south swells that often seem to elude other San Diego County, California beaches. During the summer months, when most locations are experiencing two-to-three feet surf, it isn't unusual for Windansea to pick up six-to-eight foot surf. Other breaks in the vicinity of Windansea include Middles, Turtles, and Simmons, named after Bob Simmons (who died at that break in 1954), and Big Rock.

The Surf Shack at Windansea Beach

The focal point and cultural icon at Windansea is a simple palm-covered shack, located beneath the narrow parking lot, just in front of the main peak. It was originally constructed in 1946 by original locals Woody Ekstrom, Fred Kenyon and Don Okey. The site gained notoriety for its annual summer luaus before police cracked down on the out-of-control event in the early 1950s. The social hub is a narrow parking lot, located on the bluffs overlooking the Windansea shack. The facilities are not very accommodating for visitors. The parking lot offers just a few spaces and there are no drinking fountains, showers or public restrooms. "The Surf Shack at Windansea Beach" was designated as an historical landmark by the San Diego Historical Resources Board on May 27, 1998.

Windansea has served as home break at one time or another to many notable surfers, including Pat Curren, Mike Diffenderfer, Joey Cabell, Mickey Munoz and Butch Van Artsdalen. As far as its impact on surf culture and the development of the sport, it ranks at the top of the list along with Malibu, San Onofre and Huntington Beach. Steve Pezman, former publisher of Surfer magazine and current publisher of The Surfer's Journal, called Windansea locals in the early 1960s "the heaviest surf crew ever."

The famous Windansea Surf Club featured a veritable who's who of hot young surfers during the sport's Golden Age. Founded by Chuck Hasley in 1962, the Club attracted high profile members such as The Endless Summer star and first Vice President Mike Hynson, Skip Frye, Joey Cabell, Del Cannon, Mike Purpose and Rusty Miller. Other notable surfers who cut their teeth at Windansea include Andy Tyler, Tom Ortner, Brew Briggs, Chris O'Rourke, Richard Kenvin, Miko Fleming, Debbie Beacham, Peter King, Saxon Boucher, Ian Rotgans, George Felactu, Longboard Larry and Keith Humes.

In 1963, Michael Dormer and Lee Teacher built a six foot, 400 pound version of their Hot Curl cartoon character out of cement, iron, a mop, a light bulb, and a beer can. The statue mysteriously appeared on the rocks over Windansea beach in La Jolla, holding a beer in one hand while gazing out over the ocean in search of the perfect wave. This concrete surf god got the attention of newspapers across the country. In 1964 Hot Curl became a star. Hot Curl was the inspiration Hollywood was looking for when it filled the screens at movie houses with a string of "Beach Party" movies. In the summer of 1964, the Hot Curl image appeared in several scenes of "Muscle Beach Party" starring Frankie Avalon, Annette Funicello, Buddy Hackett, and Don Rickles. Dozens of young surfers got signed as well.

La Jolla Shores

La Jolla Shores is a beach in La Jolla, California, located at the foot of the residential area of the same name.

Shores meets the Scripp Institution of Oceanography campus and Kellogg Park, encompasses the Scripps Pier and borders the La Jolla Underwater Park Ecological Reserve to the south. The beach is a popular launch point for kayakers as it is one of the only beach boat launches in the La Jolla area.

Described by the Orange County Register as "the best beach in the area", La Jolla Shores regularly features in the Court TV show, Beach Patrol: San Diego.

La Jolla Mount Soledad-La Jolla Homes-La Jolla Real Estate-La Jolla Homes for Sale

Sat, 16 Aug 2008 09:03:03 -0700

Mount Soledad

Geography

The 822-foot tall hill lies between Interstate 5 to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. It is mostly within the community of La Jolla where the northern and eastern slopes form a sharp escarpment along the Rose Canyon fault. The community of Pacific Beach is on the gentler southern slope. There are several radio and television transmitters located on the summit including television channels 8 and 10, the CBS and ABC affiliates respectively. Commercial aircraft approaching San Diego from the direction of Los Angeles often use Mt. Soledad as their point to start the downwind leg of their approach to San Diego International Airport.

La Jolla residents and business owners sometimes refer to the "city", "village," or "town" of La Jolla. Although the name is sometimes said to mean "the jewel" (from the Spanish "la joya"), it is believed to be derived from a Native American language, that of the La Jolla band of Luiseno Indians, who inhabited the area for centuries before the arrival of the Spanish.

View from Windansea Beach

The U.S Postal Service has designated "La Jolla" as the only acceptable place name for use in mailing addresses for the ZIP Codes covering the area, because historically the La Jolla post office was established before the community was absorbed within the San Diego city limits. These conventions can give the impression that La Jolla is a separate incorporated city, even though it is part of the City of San Diego.

La Jolla has several community groups which work to unify the voice of the community. The La Jolla Community Planning Association advises the City Council, Planning Commission, City Planning Department as well as other Governmental agency as appropriate in the initial preparation, adoption of, implementation of, or amendment to the General or Community Plan as it pertains to the La Jolla area. The non-profit La Jolla Town Council organization represents the interests of the La Jolla businesses that belong to the Council.

La Jolla, San Diego, California

Fri, 15 Aug 2008 14:45:52 -0700

La Jolla, San Diego, California

Wipeout Beach

La Jolla is a wealthy seaside resort community of up to 42,808 residents within the city of San Diego, California. Population figures are imprecise because La Jolla's borders are indistinct.

Generally the community's border starts at Pacific Beach to the south and extends along the Pacific Ocean shore north to include Torrey Pines State Reserve ending at Del Mar, California. Along the way La Jolla encompasses neighborhoods like Bird Rock, Windansea, the original or "old" village of La Jolla, La Jolla Shores, La Jolla Farms, Torrey Pines, Mount Soledad and La Jolla Village (including La Jolla Village Square).

Interstate 5 forms La Jolla's man-made border to the east, with the exception of some of the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and some commercial property east of I-5 and north of La Jolla Village Drive, which are also considered (in the wider definition) to be part of La Jolla. (More specifically, the City of San Diego defines La Jolla's eastern boundary as former Highway US 101, which is now Gilman Drive, excluding UCSD, and the northern boundary as the southern end of Torrey Pines municipal golf course. Others define La Jolla as all of ZIP code 92037.)

Beach, hang gliders, and cliffs.

A volunteer group called the Black's Beach Bares helps to keep the beach clean, safe, and maintained. They also host events and picnics through the summer at the beach. They are affiliated with The Naturist Society and the Las Vegas Bares.

Black's Beach is known to surfers as one of the most powerful beach breaks in Southern California. The waves gain the power due to the focusing effects of an underwater canyon just offshore. Because of the large surf and aggressive crowds, Black's is a dangerous surfing location.

The Torrey Pines Gliderport sits on the bluff atop Black's Beach 300-foot (91 m) cliff.

The beach is very close in proximity to the University of California, San Diego and is popular with the students of the university. Many students can be seen walking from the university to Black's.
