Townhome living a short walk from UC San Diego and Westfield UTC.
Boardwalk is the attached-housing community along Villa La Jolla Drive at the 8830–8880 block, in La Jolla Village — the inland, campus-side neighborhood, not the coastal Village of La Jolla. UC San Diego is a short walk away, with Westfield UTC, La Jolla Village Square and the UTC job core close at hand, while the Cove and the beaches are a separate trip rather than just outside the door.
The community is roughly 216 condominium homes in three-story buildings, developed in the early 1980s across five floor plans — from one-bedroom residences near 700 square feet to three-bedroom homes around 1,400. Buildings have elevators and covered garage parking, and residents share a pool, spa, tennis courts and a club room within the community, so day-to-day living is closer to a small residential complex than a single building.
Turnover is modest: 88 closings have been recorded since 2015, so a single year's figure can move on a handful of homes rather than a shift in the market. Price per square foot, read alongside layout, condition and outdoor space, is usually the cleaner measure of value here. The closings below are placed by location inside the community boundary, which keeps Boardwalk's record separate from the condominiums on neighboring Morning Way and Evening Way.

ABOUT THIS COMMUNITY
Boardwalk sits in La Jolla Village, the attached-housing pocket of 92037 west of I-5 near UC San Diego. Unlike the coastal side of La Jolla, the housing here is almost entirely attached — townhomes and condominiums on quiet interior lanes rather than fee-simple lots.
That makes it one of the most practical entry points into the 92037 ZIP code. Buyers get the La Jolla address, La Jolla schools, and a commute to campus, the hospitals, and the UTC job core measured in minutes rather than freeway miles.
Turnover is steady but modest, so pricing tends to move with the wider condo market rather than in bursts. The numbers below are drawn from recorded closings, not estimates.
