La Jolla Ah . . . Prospect Street: an upscale people-watcher’s dream-come-true, except for the distractions of the numerous one-of-a-kind boutiques and art galleries lining the streets. Spoil yourself while basking in “The Jewel City’s” mediterranean weather as you ponder the eclectic mix of dining choices: smell the ocean while seated on the Ocean Terrace at Zagat’s rated George’s at the Cove; allow your tastebuds to travel with authentic (and delicious) Korean and Japanese fare at Shabu Shabu Jinsang; or simply relax and take it all in at the extensive other cafes and restaurants you’ll meet during your sunny stroll through our charming Spanish-style architecture neighborhood. Just off the north end of Prospect, Sunny Jim’s Cave provides great views of sea lions basking in the sun, nesting native birds, gray whale watching, and picnic opportunities with the family while the kids safely swim at La Jolla Cove. Designated areas provide elegant high-rise office buildings, high-density housing, and high-end shopping malls; but expect to leave the office when you leave the office. Many of our neighborhoods prohibit businesses entirely and, coupled with open-air markets, a PGA-level golf course, and tennis courts, La Jolla is a contemporary community making Prospect Street large enough to accommodate the dedicated professional and small enough to elicit the warm, fuzzy feeling of being “home.” Prospect Street is served by San Diego Unified School District public schools and boast the US Census Bureau’s highest rating for Education Climate Index. Our prep schools, diverse denominational churches at every turn, and vast community groups keep the family busy and engaged. La Jolla’s seven miles of curving coastline also provides myriad other educational opportunities including University of California San Diego, National University, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and the Salk Institute. La Jolla has been home to many notable scientists, business people, artists, writers, performers – and now, you! Welcome home!
Little Italy Originally a predominately Italian fishing community, Little Italy has become a delicious mix of Italian restaurants, retail shops, art galleries and residential communities. A small and active community, low crime rates complement the many community festivals. Multiple public improvement and residential building projects are either under construction or scheduled, resulting in a more densely populated southern section of town and a quaint, intimate northern section. In addition to the Italian farmers market retailing fresh fish and baked goods, Little Italy also hosts the annual Little Italy Carnevale, a Venetian community open house offering vignettes of entertainment by the retail shops and restaurants. ArtWalk takes place in April and boasts over 120,000 visitors congregating to purchase the locally-produced arts.

End the year on a festive note at the Little Italy Christmas Village and Tree-Lighting Event, leaving little mouths agape as they watch Santa ride through town on Little Italy Fire Engine Number 3! Back to basics, residents are served by numerous educational opportunities from public and private primary education facilities to preparatory academies, San Diego City College, and numerous specialized schools offering programs from business to medial, visual and performing arts. Little Italy has grown from a haven for the 1906 Great Quake survivors to a diverse yet still close-knit community that loves food, entertaining and socializing. It just doesn’t get any better!
