Villa La Jolla

With 500 condo units, Villa La Jolla is the largest complex in La Jolla Village—as well as one of the most affordable. The complex is split into two halves, each with its own pool and spa area. Other amenities include barbecue/picnic areas, a clubhouse with kitchen and dining patio, and a free shuttle service to nearby points of interest.

Each of Villa La Jolla’s condos, which include studio, 1- and 2-bedroom units, include a private balcony or patio. The tree-filled landscaping provides an atmosphere that insulates residents from the surrounding neighborhood.

UCSD is only a three-minute drive away, and the nearby shopping centers—including La Jolla Village Square across the street—contain a variety of shopping and dining options. By Gary Kent

La Jolla Village rivals the downtown Village neighborhood in terms of shopping variety, though its shops veer less toward high fashion and more toward practical items.

Two shopping centers across from each other, The Shops at La Jolla Village and La Jolla Village Square, are the most notable options. A couple of other business parks in the same area round out the selection.
