What’s Cool About La Jolla Heights
In addition to its many lovely unaffiliated homes, La Jolla Heights is home to two sizeable branded communities: La Jolla Shores Heights and La Jolla Woods. The neighborhood’s central thoroughfare, La Jolla Scenic Drive North, connects it with Hidden Valley to the south and UCSD to the north. La Jolla Heights has charming views of the beach and ocean as it slopes down toward La Jolla Shores. By Gary Kent
