Located just south of La Jolla and north of Mission Beach is the cool little town of Pacific Beach.   This amazing beach town is home to one of San Diego’s more popular nightlife scenes with its laidback beach bars and a favorite place for younger adults and college kids who want to live the “California dream.”  Although it has a resort feel to it and over 1,300 businesses, Pacific Beach is still a comfy fun place to call home. With its extreme beach culture, this beach community is a very diverse spot where everyone is always happy.

What the Locals Love About Pacific Beach

As one of the more desirable areas in San Diego, “PB” (as it is called by the locals) is a very healthy town because of all the outdoor activities.  Because of its popularity with metro area residents, it is much easier to get around  the town by bicycle which is a more common form of transportation for locals.

Another popular spot for runners, walkers and the like is the Boardwalk which stretches the 3.2 miles from the northern tip of Pacific Beach down to the southern tip of Mission Beach.  At the center of town, the major hub for shops and restaurants, Garnet Avenue, dead ends at the Pacific Ocean and leads straight into Crystal Pier.  There, you will find locals hanging out and talking about the huge fish or wave they caught or watching the surfers and the bathing beauties soaking up the sun.

Pacific Beach is also the home of most of the surf culture in southern California.  In fact, there is a beach that is marked for surfers only – Tourmaline Surf Park.  This park is great for all levels of surfing from novices to the most experienced surfers.

Although Pacific Beach is a young community, families still enjoy the atmosphere here.  The north end, between Tourmaline and Crystal Pier is a very family oriented section of the beach as it is much quieter and has lifeguards lining the beach.

The Residents of Pacific Beach

PB locals love where they live.  For the most part, they are young and want to enjoy beach living.  The median age of the over 40,000 residents is about 34 years old (2009 data) with a median income of just under $70K.  Additionally, over 85 percent of the residents have no kids and take “work hard…play hard” to heart.

The Lay of the Land

In Pacific Beach, the streets basically run north-south and east-west.  Although the commercial center of town runs on Garnet Avenue, Mission Boulevard is the “main drag” of town.  It runs in a north-south direction along with the other streets that are in alphabetical order and named after federal officials.  The east-west streets are named after precious stones such as Tourmaline, Turquoise, Sapphire and more. 

There are more renters living in Pacific Beach than homeowners as the median home price is around $600K.  More of the homes and condominiums that are closer to the beach tend to be investment property for vacation rentals.

“North Mission” is more of the resort part of the community with newly upgraded homes, cottages and condominium homes.  This end also plays home to more of the rental properties as Mission Beach’s popularity continues to grow as a vacation destination for people from the neighboring western states.  Also, this end is closer to the necessary conveniences such as grocers and other businesses located in Pacific Beach.  All of this makes this part of Mission Beach very enticing to investors seeking vacation rental property.

On the south end of Mission Beach, locals are more prevalent than vacationers.  Despite all of the action and events of the Old Mission Beach Athletic Club (OMBAC), “South Mission” is much more subdued than the north end.  This end is defined by the eclectic cottages and large stretch of beach extending from the boardwalk to the Pacific Ocean.  Additionally, fishermen are a frequent site on the jetty which extends out into the San Diego estuary off the southernmost point of Mission Beach. 

An interesting fact about Mission Beach is that it is the most densely developed residential area in San Diego.  It also contains the smallest lots in the entire area as well with each acre containing up to 36 dwellings.  Most of the homes in Mission Beach were built in the 1930s and 1940s with many being renovated and upgraded to offer more modern conveniences.  Some that were built in the early 1920s were designed as airplane bungalows and featured that bungalow style with a second floor added as upstairs bedrooms or lots.   More and more, older homes on properties are being gutted in order to build newer more contemporary homes to attract vacationers.

The real estate market in La Jolla showcases some of the most beautiful and desirable estates in the country.  As one of California’s most popular resort towns, this picturesque community features some of the most expensive homes in the country.  Situated on a hillside in Southern California, La Jolla features some of the most charming cottages, sprawling estates set along the Pacific Coast and everything in between.  The common denominator of all of these properties is their above average price tag.  In fact, in 2009, La Jolla had the highest average sale price in the United States at $2.1 million.

Neighborhoods in La Jolla

La Jolla offers communities with different features that attract many different types of buyers.  While all of the neighborhoods in this affluent community are considered to be exclusive, some are more so and come with a much higher price tag than others.  The homes and condominiums priced on the lower end are still deemed to be priced higher than most communities around the metro area.

List prices and home values are, for the most part, based on the homes’ views of the water and San Diego skyline.  With that in mind, the most exclusive areas of La Jolla with the best views are Country Club, Hidden Valley, La Jolla Farms and La Jolla Shores and La Jolla Heights where single-family homes start around the $1 million mark and climb into the tens of millions of dollars.  It is not uncommon for real estate in La Jolla Shores to top $20 million.   Condominium homes in these same neighborhoods tend to start in the middle to upper-$700s but can be found at the half-million dollar mark making it more affordable for some to have a La Jolla address.  Two other coast areas of La Jolla which are probably the most exclusive, are Lower Hermosa and Muirlands where, when they are available for sale, will start in the mid-$1 millions in Lower Hermosa and $2.5 million in Muirlands.

Oceanfront communities like Bird Rock and Beach-Barber are more eclectic, beach-y communities where single family homes start at about $1 million and go up depending on the view.  For condominium homes, some start as low as $350K and climb.  It is important to note that the residents have a very free and easy attitude in these areas especially in Bird Rock where the beach here is clothing optional.

Heading south and east of the coastal and downtown areas of La Jolla, communities like Soledad South, La Jolla Mesa, and La Jolla Village, sit on and around Mt. Soledad feature beautiful views of downtown La Jolla and San Diego.  Listing prices in these areas start a good bit under $1 million for single-family homes and under $500K for condominium homes.

Considered to be the “most affordable” communities in La Jolla are Upper Hermosa, Muirlands West and La Jolla Alta.  These neighborhoods have larger homes that start just over $1 million and increase from there.  Much of the charm and appeal of Muirlands West and Upper Hermosa stem from their close proximity to the shopping and dining in Bird Rock.  La Jolla Alta is an excellent neighborhood for families because of its closeness to the area’s top schools.

The Important Facts of La Jolla Real Estate

The overall median sold price for homes in La Jolla is about $1.1 million based on the most recent statistics.  This represents a 15 percent increase over last year.  On average, listings stay on the market for about 130 days give or take a day which for homes of this caliber is not a long time.  Condominium homes do tend to sell a little faster but not by much time at all.

Consider La Jolla

La Jolla is a perfect consideration for a home if you are one who wants to live in the most beautiful towns in the country and if money is not a concern.  With the majority of homes having spectacular views of the Coast, the skylines or Mt. Soledad, it is a true pleasure to live in La Jolla…not to mention all of the fun that exists here.  Make sure La Jolla real estate is on the short list if all of these qualities are desires you have in a home.
