An Ocean-adjacent La Jolla hilltop
Set in front of Mount Soledad Memorial Park, La Jolla’s Hidden Valley neighborhood offers hilltop privacy and coastal views. Interstate 5 puts residents about 10 miles from downtown and UC San Diego, but some of La Jolla’s coveted waterfront dining scenes are less than a mile away. If it weren’t for the steep incline and lack of sidewalks, residents would be able to walk from their front doors to La Jolla Shores, but they’re still only about a 5-minute drive from it. “La Jolla Shores is by far the most family-friendly beach in San Diego,” says Danny Quesadas, San Diego Real Estate Agent with eXp Realty of Southern California. “It’s light and fun, it even has a playground.” The average Hidden Valley resident might work for one of the nearby biotech companies like Inhibrx or Viridos, or the nearby Scripps Memorial Hospital.
Caminito Avola offers condos over the coast
Torrey Pines Road, the neighborhood's main access, winds from La Jolla Bay into Hidden Valley's hilly enclaves. Homes nestle in private pockets along Hidden Valley Road, shielded by hedges and topiary. Architectural standouts include 1960s Modern minimalist homes and sprawling Contemporary hillside estates with ocean views. Caminito Avola, a winding road that hugs the hills, is lined with condos and townhomes offering dramatic coastline views. In this upscale oceanside community, single-family homes range from $3 million to $7 million, with mansions reaching upwards of $12 million. Condos and townhomes fetch between $2 million and $4 million.

For college, University of California San Diego (UC San Diego) is two miles away, standing out as one of the top research schools in the world.

Snorkel near the seals at La Jolla Underwater Park
Residents are likely to see the cross from the Mount Soledad Memorial Park when coming and going. The park is one of the most popular attractions in San Diego, featuring winding walking trails and panoramic ocean and city views. Its towering cross has memorialized American veterans since 1954. For a day at the beach, miles of pristine coastline are set just downhill at La Jolla Shores and La Jolla Underwater Park, where sea lions and seals are year-round residents. Ocean lovers head to La Jolla’s Underwater Park for snorkeling, kayaking and exploring the Ecological Reserve. Membership at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club, set 2 miles away just off of Paseo Dorado, includes private beach access for kayaking, tennis courts and a scenic nine-hole course.

Waterfront restaurants and boutiques
While Hidden Valley is entirely residential, the shopping and dining that La Jolla Shores offers is less than a mile away. La Jolla Shores main Avenida de la Playa corridor is a walkable, palm-lined street brimming with restaurants. The Italian trattoria Piatti serves up stone-hearth pizzas, while across the street, the cozy café Brick & Bell bakes offers fresh pastries and oatmilk lattes. For a truly unique fine-dining experience, Quesadas shares that the The Marine Room on Spindrift Drive is the place to go. “The waves actually splash against the dining room windows,” Quesadas shares. “It doesn’t get much more waterfront than that. It’s a great place for a date night.” Residents can travel 2 miles down Torrey Pines Road toward the beach for the open-air La Plaza La Jolla shopping center, featuring shops like Bouluci Boutique for womenswear and European-style Elixir Espresso & Wine Bar. For a more low-key experience, La Jolla Village Square is 3 miles away, anchored by Trader Joes, Ralphs and Marshalls.
