La Jolla Condos For Sale

Spectacular sea views, small intimate cove beaches, luxury shopping, fine dining in a casual setting, and eucalyptus tree-lined streets: La Jolla has an ambiance and character that is uniquely its own. Set along a rugged coastline just north of San Diego, La Jolla is a small, unpretentious community of lovely homes, art galleries, and glamour.

La Jolla Village, founded in 1850, lies in a thumb of land between Highway 5 and the ocean. Its 38,000 residents enjoy a quiet, eclectic community that promotes artistic expression. In addition to the many artists' studios and art galleries here, La Jolla is home to the La Jolla Playhouse, The Contemporary Art Museum, and the Scripps Institute of Oceanography. Beautiful La Jolla Cove on the downtown seafront is one of the most photographed spots in San Diego. Across the highway lies new La Jolla with boldly designed office buildings, hotels, and developments featuring scores of new, red tile-roofed homes.

An Exclusive Address

Real estate prices in La Jolla, literally "the jewel" in Spanish, reflect its up-scale lifestyle. Condo prices here average over $600,000. At the lower end, in the $300,000s, are newly built, low-rise condos east of the highway. Most of these are semi-detached units with attached garages and covered patios.

The higher-end condos are mostly located within La Jolla Village. The central features of the most expensive condos are the sweeping ocean views. Many of the high-end condos have been built within the last 10 years and feature such luxuries as deluxe kitchens, whirlpool spa baths, and multiple wood-burning fireplaces. Many of these units are in low-rise buildings with concierge service, health and fitness facilities, and swimming pools.
