The aptly named Southern California community La Jolla (Spanish for "The Jewel") is located within the city of San Diego. Although most of La Jolla's 45,000 residents are quick to say that their community has their own distinct identity separate from San Diego.

La Jolla is an affluent community that resonates with gorgeous natural surroundings. It is located on the majestic Mount Soledad, extending toward Torrey Pines State Reserve, and looks out onto stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. This has made La Jolla a popular tourist destination with its popular and pristine beaches.

Education is of paramount importance in La Jolla. The community is proud of their exceptional public school system. La Jolla is also noted for some of the world's best universities and research institutions, such as University of California, San Diego, the San Diego Supercomputer Center, the Scripps Research Institute, and the Salk Institute. These institutions have help make La Jolla a center for hi-tech and biotechnology companies.

If you feel you deserve the best, then La Jolla is the place to be. With a standard of living that only a handful of communities can compare itself, La Jolla is home to many of the rich and famous such as Deepak Chopra, Theodor Geisel (aka Dr. Suess), and Nobel Laureate, Kary Mullis.
