There is no better way to get to know your neighborhood than driving without a map and getting lost. When I arrived in La Jolla, California in 1976, I was captivated by the beauty of the Ocean that seem to be all around you  La Jolla is surrounded by hills with great ocean views. Nevertheless, there are wonderful narrow curvy roads that lead you to the top of those hills and end in cul-de-sacs with outstanding ocean views. As a Realtor, I have had the opportunity to view many of these homes that do not have the ocean views but do have the La Jolla Old Charm. Spanish and Contemporary homes going up Lookout Drive and Hillside. I have explored all those roads. Driving around the many La Jolla Beaches there are small streets West of La Jolla Blvd. and West of La Jolla Shores Drive with many...

Visit Torrey Pines State Reserve in La Jolla CA   Carlsbad, and much of California for that matter, is blessed with a gorgeous coastline – the edge of our continent amidst a sea of urban life. (see a past article on the California Central Coast and Nepenthe, along the Big Sur coast for more amazing scenery). But just a few miles south is an isolated, wilderness area that is breathtaking for the vistas of hills and rocks meeting the sea, and home to our country’s rarest pine tree, the Torrey Pine. Torrey Pines State Reserve is home to incredible and dramatic scenery, and this rare tree which only grows at the reserve and on Santa Rosa island off Santa Barbara’s coast. The state reserve is a wonderful place to capture a glimpse of what the Southern California region was like prior to the...

If you are thinking of moving to La Jolla, you must already know that it is one of the most spectacular locales in the world. Some cities are the embodiment of luxury, and La Jolla, California is no exception. Coastal La Jolla is  paradise for both the traveler and the resident. Sitting just north of San Diego, it offers a craggy and breathtaking coastline with heart-stopping views. Add to this natural beauty a world-class village, high budget shopping, fine dining and lodging, a top-ranked university (UCSD) and medical school--along with a climate that is probably the best on earth, and you have The Jewel, or La Jolla as Spaniard explorers once called it. Granted, La Jolla real estate is expensive and luxury buyers from all over the world would like to own some of their own. With a pop...

I always find it fascinating when landmarks become controversial. It might be the home of a famous, or infamous person, or the site of a gruesome murder. Celebrity homes become landmarks, as do homes built by well-know architects (homes built by Neutra in Los Angeles, for example, or the Fallingwater home by Frank Lloyd Wright in Pennsylvania). Sometimes a place where a significant event occurred becomes a landmark that raises controversy. San Diego, and specifically La Jolla, has such a landmark, on Mt.Soledad. Mt.Soledadis one of the highest points in coastal San Diego County, at 882 feet, and offers some incredible views of the county and the coastline...on a clear day to the Mexican border and north about 40 miles to Camp Pendleton just beyond Oceanside. Mt. Soledad is known for bei...

I recently read an article over at Sign on San Diego entitled, What’s everyone got against La Jolla? It was a response to the La Jolla landslide earlier this year and it got me thinking… “What has everyone got against La Jolla?” I grant you, La Jolla may be considered an affluent community with some of the most expensive homes on the west coast, best public and private education in the San Diego area, a string of luxury shopping centers, spas and golf courses, but when you delve deep into the hearts of La Jollans, you will find a people committed to giving back to the world that has given us so much. A simple search on The Charity Guide, you will show that La Jolla is host to more than 300 unique charities which account for over $100 million charity dollars each year. Now, does that sou...

 The La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club opened in 1927 as the La Jolla Beach & Yacht Club.  A gentleman by the name of Frederick William Kellogg purchased the property in 1934 to create an oceanfront resort. Kellogg changed the emphasis on the club to that of an exclusive oceanfront tennis resort to attract out of town visitors, as well as La Jollan's.  In 1940 the responsibilty for the Club fell to William Scripps Kellogg, Frederick"s son.  William was the driving force behind the resort's success as a tennis and vacation destination.  He oversaw the construction of the Playa Del Oro Apartment and the F.W. Kellogg commercial building.  He was known for taking children for rides on the beach in a 1915 Packard, know as the "Old Black Goose". The children who rode in the convertible became me...

Chic Backyard Entertainment Set-ups in La JollaHome theatre systems are becoming a standard requirements with many Luxury La Jolla home buyers.  But we have a twist on this trend, take it outdoors instead of a room in your La Jolla Luxury home.  The whole concept of backyard entertainment all started with the Princess Cruise Lines: Movie Under the Stars when plasma televisions were placed on the outside of the ship for everyone to watch their favorite movie or TV show while enjoying their favorite cocktail or activity. This was a big hit, people loved it and the trend has expanded onto other ships as well.  Now you can take that idea and apply it to your La Jolla yard with your very own private outdoor theatre.  You can have a quiet evening at home and under stars with a few friends and...

  La Jolla is full of Luxury Oceanfront Homes. This may come as a surpise to you, but there are not a lot of starter homes in La Jolla.   And in those luxury oceanfront homes lives residents that have a great respect for the Cultural Arts. La Jolla's population is around 35,000, which creates a strong sense of community. Everyone seems to want and enjoy the same thing.  The finer things in life including a rich Cultural diversity. There is always some sort of outdoor concert, play, lecture, or gallery opening in La Jolla.  There is something about the Pacific Ocean and the stunning oceanfront views that inspire the Cultural Arts here in La Jolla!                                                                                                             Read more »    About La Jolla:New ...

Tuesday, several homeowners in the Soledad Mountain part of La Jolla were notified that they shouldn't stay in their homes overnight due to concerns about soil instability. Wednesday morning as engineering crews were drilling holes to learn more about the soil condition, the earth moved and confirmed what many had feared.The only surprise here is that this surprised anyone. Everyone in La Jolla knows the history of this area, with slides dating back to 1961, but occurring as recently as 1994.Question. What agent who values repeat business sells a client a home in this area at any price? My guess is that many will be asked similar questions. In court. The boom San Diego real estate market led many to think short term. What a shame.
