If you are looking to relocate, San Diego could be the place for you. With a variety of neighborhoods to suit every need, San Diego also offers a variety of real estate options to suit every pocketbook.
Downtown:
One of the oldest neighborhoods but newest hot spots to live in San Diego is Downtown. This neighborhood has recently undergone some drastic changes, and where old, rundown buildings once stood, over 12,000 new or in progress housing units can now be seen. Also featuring new and old restaurants, bars, shops and theaters, Downtown is once again becoming the hip center of San Diego.
Downtown area real estate is rapidly growing and expanding, flourishing with new apartments and condos. As upscale hotels, condominiums, restaurants, shopping centers and night spots have taken over crumbling, old buildings and crooked neighborhoods, Downtown has continued to grow and fill up with people looking for the excitement of living in the epicenter of San Diego.
Recently improved and expanded with almost any amenity desired within walking distance, Downtown San Diego offers many neighborhoods that could be perfect neighborhood for you. Downtown San Diego neighborhoods include Columbia, Core, Cortex Hill, East Village, Gaslamp Quarter, Horton Plaza, Little Italy, and Marina.
La Jolla:
La Jolla, also called “the Jewel by the Sea,” is a wealthy seaside resort community, occupying seven miles of curving coastline along the Pacific Ocean in Southern California within the northern city limits of San Diego. La Jolla is infamous for its sandy beaches and rocky shorelines and is arguably the most desirable and prestigious neighborhood in San Diego County.
With abundant sunset views, homes in La Jolla are luxurious and diverse often featuring verandas and decks that optimize the grand views this part of San Diego has to offer. La Jolla real estate can range well into the $10 millions but there’s hope for those with a tighter budget who would like to live in this beautiful community in small beach homes and apartments that make living a little more affordable.
Options for neighborhoods in La Jolla include La Jolla Farms, La Jolla Shores, Lower Hermosa, and The Village – all featuring spectacular views and only a short distance to the beach.
Point Loma:
Point Loma is a long peninsula, wrapping around the entrance to San Diego bay with terrain very hilly. Because of the abundance of hills though, many Point Loma homes have fantastic ocean, bay, or canyon views.
Unlike many of the newly developed areas of San Diego, many of the homes in Point Loma are embedded with history with construction dating back to the 1920’s and 1930’s. In fact, 70 percent of Point Loma real estate was built between 1950 and 1980
Point Loma also offers newer, upscale homes in the neighborhoods of Silvergate and La Playa. Point Loma homes are large, many have views, and each home has an individual charm. Most neighborhoods in Point Loma are reminiscent of old military installations and dotted with authentic older homes and authentic lamp posts. For those who can’t afford a historic or newly built house, apartments and condos account for about one third of Point Loma’s housing.
