<h1 style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">La Jolla, <em>San Diego</em></h1>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Nestled directly on the Pacific Ocean, La Jolla occupies 7 miles of curving shoreline. One of the most beautiful areas in San Diego, it features houses designed by notable architects, and other visionaries. Its population is relatively small for San Diego, a mere 42,000 year-round residents, but its median home price is $2.1M.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">La Jolla (pronounced La Hoy-ya) has a dizzying array of shopping and dining choices. World class restaurants, like George's at the Cove, offer a fabulous array of perfectly prepared seafood dishes. In January, check out the Marine Room, where at the highest tide, you can eat breakfast while the waves crash on the windows, just mere feet from your eggs Benedict.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Home to the Children's Pool Beach, which was originally set aside by one of San Diego's elite philanthropists for swimmers and bathers, it is now home to a thriving sea lion population. Drawn by the protection of the sea wall, the marine mammals sunbathe and raise their young. It's fun to watch, but also a divisive issue for the locals.</p>
