The name of this area is not a misnomer. Perched atop a hill overlooking La Jolla Shores, this area provides breathtaking views of the town below and the ocean. The amazing view is not the only reason homes in La Jolla Heights are popular: it is also quick and easy to get to the freeway and the university from there.

Detached homes in the area start at a little over $1 million, but the ones with the best views start at $2 million. For those looking to spend a little less, there are some condos available starting at a little over half a million dollars. Of course, there are also much larger condos that cost a great deal more. For those in search of a postcard view, there are always a few homes for sale in La Jolla Heights.
