La Jolla Alta

Settled quietly on the south side of Mount Soledad is La Jolla Alta, a master-planned residential development built in the 1980s. With its spacious homes and gorgeous views of Mission Bay, Downtown San Diego and the Pacific, this neighborhood is anything but ordinary. La Jolla Alta has easy access to Kate Sessions Park as well as Pacific Beach’s dining, shopping, and beach life. It even holds bragging rights as the best neighborhood to watch several sets of fireworks at once on the Fourth of July.

Find Out How Much Your La Jolla Alta Home Is Worth

Most La Jolla Alta homes are in one of five branded communities. Crystal Bay and Emerald Cove are modern, gated areas with large homes and beautiful backyards. Eldorado I & II and Ventana are condo developments, the latter of which is also gated. As members of the La Jolla Alta Master Council, homeowners have full access to the spa, tennis courts, library, pools, fitness center and monthly council meetings. Overall, La Jolla Alta’s calm, secluded atmosphere and proximity to exciting activities make it worth every penny. By Gary Kent
