La Jolla real estate neighborhood guide Peter describes each of La Jolla's diverse neighborhoods with photo's and prices. Home to a culturally diverse, highly educated community from all parts of the globe, many are drawn to the area by its links to the large number of academic and scientific resources. Roads were planned so as many homes as possible could take advantage of the stunning views. La Jolla offers everything from a small beach condo to some of the most magnificent view homes on the coast. Most of the areas adjacent to the coast or within quarter or half of a mile of the ocean are flat or gently sloping with limited view potential.
Construction is almost entirely timber framed, with a stucco or timber siding exterior.
Shingle roofs common, Spanish style tiled roofs more so in recent years. Virtually no basements. Mission Bay is to the left.
