Three different views for La Jolla Mesa residents
Bordered by Bird Rock and La Jolla Alta, prospective La Jolla Mesa homebuyers are treated to a choice of views: the Pacific Ocean, the sparkling San Diego Bay, downtown San Diego's vibrant skyline or in some spots, all three. The neighborhood exudes a serene and beachy atmosphere, just minutes from the lively coastline full of beachside playgrounds and surfers. “Some of the best schools in the country are here,” says Whitney Peyser, La Jolla-based Real Estate agent with Compass. “The crowd here is a bit younger because of UC San Diego and Revelle, but that’s a draw for families too because they like the idea of their kids staying close by for college.”
Many homes have views of the downtown San Diego in La Jolla Mesa.

Custom-built homes with character
The neighborhood is comprised of two main winding streets, La Jolla Mesa Drive and Rutgers Road, which branch off into smaller cul-de-sacs. No two homes here are exactly alike, with many custom-built in the 1950s and remodeled between the 1990s and early 2000s. Architectural styles include Mediterranean Revival, Spanish Revival and Midcentury modern estates that are situated on gentle slopes and surrounded by lush landscaping. Ultra-contemporary remodels of 1950s mansions with ample windows offer unobstructed views of the city and Pacific Ocean. Home prices in this neighborhood range from around $2 million to roughly $6 million, with a typical sale time of 34 days on the market.

Panoramic views from Kate Sessions Park
About 2 miles down Soledad Road, the 79-acre Kate Sessions Memorial Park is an ideal spot to unwind and take in stunning views of Mission Bay. Named after the architect and “Mother of Balboa Park" Kate Sessions, who famously planted thousands of plants and trees around San Diego in her lifetime, the park features a mile-long loop trail and playground. For a more family-friendly option, head to Kellogg Park, conveniently located right next to La Jolla Shores beach. Popular with surfers, this park features a playground and the only beachfront boat launch in the city.
