Located just north of Pacific Beach and Mission Bay is the wonderful town of La Jolla, Spanish for "the jewel". This elegant community consists of Mediterranean-styled homes and comprises 13 miles of glorious coastline, beaches and coves.

The stylish Prospect Street includes a financial district as well as high-end retailers, jewelers, boutiques, restaurants, and the La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art. The campus of the University of California San Diego (UCSD) offers unlimited educational opportunities on 1200 acres of coastal La Jolla woodland. La Jolla is also home to Scripps Institute of Oceanography, the Stephen Birch Aquarium, and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. Successful professionals and wealthy, retired residents make-up most of the seaside, quiet community.
