Welcome to La Jolla

Awe-inspiring views, smooth beaches, rocky shorelines, and tucked-away coves make La Jolla’s 7-mile coastline a choice destination. Whether you choose a single-family home, a beach cottage, or a high-rise condo, there will be nearby outlets to stroll the coastline, experience the beach life, and cross paths with chattering sea life. Walk through the Village of La Jolla, the district’s downtown, and experience chic boutiques, independent coffee shops, and upscale jewelry stores. Known for its diversity in dining establishments, La Jolla has something for everyone and every occasion. Stroll to Bird Rock Coffee Roasters for an organic cup of java; or visit Duke’s La Jolla, a two-story restaurant that serves Hawaiian-inspired dishes like Korean Sticky Ribs. Celebrate a sophisticated experience at Nine-Ten, a fine-dining restaurant that highlights a fresh and seasonal cuisine with entrees like Roasted Liberty Farms Duck Breast and Jamaican-Style Braised Oxtail. As the historical heartbeat of La Jolla, the Grande Colonial Hotel has granted residents ocean views, a short walk to the beach, and an intimate experience since 1913. Quality jobs and long-term residents are the backbones of this stable community. Tucked between Interstate 5 and the coastline, this district combines easy living with exclusivity.
