La Playa is a sailor’s haven on San Diego Bay
La Playa is an established community on the bay side of Point Loma. This hillside enclave offers large homes with impressive views over San Diego Bay and downtown, making it a sought-after location. La Playa is known for being more upscale compared to beachy communities on the ocean side of Point Loma, like Sunset Cliffs. Instead of surfing, residents spend their days sailing on the bay and playing tennis at premier local yacht clubs.

Why residents cherish their La Playa properties
Oceanfront prices are generally the highest in any location, but La Playa is an exception. “La Playa actually has higher prices than Sunset Cliffs for the most part because the homes are grander and the lots are larger,” says agent Martina McKinney with Compass Real Estate, a lifelong Point Loma resident. The terraced streets offer spacious lots, sometimes over a third of an acre; enough room for large homes with sprawling patios overlooking the bay. The lifestyle also drives the price tags of these impressive residences. “It’s a legacy community,” McKinney explains. “A lot of these homes have been passed down through the generations.” Properties of this size can’t be found anywhere else in Point Loma, so owners rarely let them go. It also helps that they might have a coveted slip at the San Diego Yacht Club and private beach access, depending on their location.
In La Playa, every well-kept home is unique and offers views.

Some of the largest homes and lots in Point Loma
From the lower to middle portion of the price range, buyers can get La Playa’s bayside setting without as much living space look after. These range from studio units in the Yacht Club Condos to single-family homes on narrow lots and large waterfront penthouses, priced from the high $300,000s to over $2 million. Mediterranean Revival, Craftsman, ranch-style and modern architecture are common among the large single-family homes. From three-bedroom ranch-style homes to Mediterranean-style mansions with private beach access, prices range from over $2.5 million to above $10 million.

Private beach Access and prestigious yacht clubs
La Playa has select recreational amenities. “People on the waterfront have something no one else on Point Loma does, a private beach,” McKinney points out. “It’s called Kellogg Beach.” The neighborhood also has racquet courts, but the thing here is sailing. La Playa Cove harbors multiple marinas and yacht clubs that are walkable from most homes, including the prestigious San Diego Yacht Club, where sailors can embark on voyages around the bay and the Pacific. The outward side of the cove is called Shelter Island, a popular place for visitors, offering beachfront and a fishing pier.

Traffic from Naval Base Point Loma
La Playa gets a fair amount of car traffic along Rosecrans Street because it’s one of the main throughfares leading into Naval Base Point Loma. An entrance for the base borders the south end of the community. However, Rosecrans Street does provide a quick drive to San Diego International Airport, only about 3 miles up the road. Harbor Drive, which goes past the airport, leads across the bay to downtown, just over 6 miles from La Playa. San Diego MTS Buses offer public transit to these destinations and throughout the area.
La Playa offers MTS transportation with few bus stops along Rosecrans St. and Shelter Island.
Many La Playa residents see Navy ships passing in San Diego Bay.
