Practicality amid luxury
While most neighborhoods in the upscale, seaside community of La Jolla boast eclectic, custom-built homes that often exceed $10 million, La Jolla Heights stands out as a more modest (still, luxurious) comparatively affordable enclave where architecture does not take center stage. As La Jolla-based Realtor Whitney Peyser with Compass notes, "You really can't go wrong with any La Jolla neighborhood, but La Jolla Heights is one of the most practical for families. It's private and tucked away but still puts you central to great shopping, schools and healthcare." Residents here are minutes away from the sparkling coastline, waterfront dining and the dynamic Downtown San Diego.
