La Jolla real estate market report banner

The La Jolla real estate marketis one of the most expensive in San Diego County. A visit to La Jolla on-line, or better yet in real life, will quickly give you a good sense of why this is so.

La Jolla, "The Jewel," is an extraordinarily beautiful coastal community with many homes offering fabulous views of the ocean from the hills, and a trendy, very up-scale village offering the finest in shopping and dining. La Jolla has often been compared to the French and Italian Rivieras with wonderful ocean and coastline vistas from the hills, amazing homes, beautiful architecture, and a terrific year-round climate, attracting visitors from around the world.

William - so true. There have been some dramatic changes in the last month. The patterns do vary from area to area, which I find interesting. I'm not ready to draw any firm conclusions.

Tom - for sure, if you can afford it. The views are spectacular.
