La Jolla Crossroads
Rent Savings- Top rated for Location
- “I love the location but it is noisy place. I have several complaint about my upstair neighbor’s noise. I couldn’t get a result about it. Heavy footsteps, constantly through heavy stuff on their floor which is my roof. Apart from that, smoke odor is normal everyday. It means some people smoke without care. Those are the main problems I have in my side. Talking about the rent amount, it looks like a little excessive if I take into account the poor maintenance of the washer, dryer, stove, microwave and so on. Apart from that, I don’t have any complaint to add.”

La Jolla
What it’s like to live in La Jolla
Beyond the picture-perfect postcards, La Jolla's rental market offers surprising diversity from vintage cottages to luxury high-rises. The Village provides European-style walkability rare in Southern California, where errands become pleasant strolls rather than traffic-clogged drives. Many apartments include outdoor space with ocean views or glimpses between buildings, while sea breezes create natural air conditioning during warmer months. The microclimate stays noticeably cooler than inland neighborhoods, though early summer "May Gray" and "June Gloom" marine layers sometimes persist all day. Parking challenges increase dramatically during summer tourism season, making rentals with dedicated spots worth the premium. When seeking outdoor recreation, the protected cove offers swimming, paddleboarding, and snorkeling literally steps from many residential buildings.Great for

Point Loma Heights
What it’s like to live in Point Loma Heights
Perched above the bay, Point Loma Heights delivers panoramic views from downtown to Mexico on clear days. This established neighborhood offers a mix of mid-century apartments and bungalows with character absent in downtown's glass towers. Unlike Mission Beach or Pacific Beach, you'll find streets quiet enough for actual sleep and parking that doesn't require military strategy. Many units feature unexpectedly large patios perfect for morning coffee with bay views or sunset happy hours watching sailboats return to harbor. The microclimate stays 5-10 degrees cooler than inland neighborhoods during summer heat waves. When seeking outdoor recreation, Sunset Cliffs provides dramatic ocean vistas without tourist crowds, while Liberty Station's expansive lawns and renovated naval buildings offer weekend farmers markets and boutique shopping minutes away.Great for
