Welcome to La Jolla

Breathtaking beaches and homes in “The Jewel of San Diego”.

La Jolla is known as “The Jewel of San Diego.” With a beautiful beachfront framed by a dramatic backdrop of ocean bluffs, it’s easy to see where the phrase came from. La Jolla’s development dates back to the late-1800s, when San Diego’s most famous architect Irving Gill designed a dozen coastal cottages for artists to live in. Generations of artists have been inspired by the city's enchanting scenic beaches stretched along seven miles of coastline, considered by many to be the best in the San Diego area.

​​​​​​​La Jolla real estate is subdivided into three distinct neighborhoods, with the most spectacular and expensive properties hugging the oceanfront in the highly desirable Bird Rock and La Jolla Cove neighborhoods. To the north is La Jolla Farms, featuring large, custom built estates perched atop cliffs overlooking the Pacific and bordering Torrey Pines. La Jolla Village is a large area with varied housing options, including single-family homes, high-rise apartments and condominiums. Just to the east is University City, home of the Westfield UTC, an upscale, open-air shopping mall.
