La Jolla Mesa
ABOUT LA JOLLA MESA
Hillside streets overlooking the coast and Pacific Beach
La Jolla Mesa sits above the coast on La Jolla's south side. La Jolla Mesa Drive offers an approach from Pacific Beach, and the climb from the coast helps explain how much the outlook changes from house to house. Depending on the site, views can extend over the ocean, toward Pacific Beach or across Mission Bay.
The neighborhood is primarily residential, with midcentury-era houses and later remodels, along with newer homes shaped around hillside lots. A single-level floor plan can still sit on a property with a steep approach. On sloped sites, patios, terraces and the connection between the living room and outdoor space can make a substantial difference in how the house lives.
Compare the view from the kitchen, living room and patio at normal standing or seated height. Check how much of the lot is usable and drive the route down to Pacific Beach or over to Bird Rock to see which connection suits your routine.
