What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About La Jolla

We go to coffee shops, there are nice restaurants, we are right next to Prospect Park so we go there a lot, it's a huge perk! And it's just beautiful here, just walking around is gorgeous and pleasant.

Everything is within walking distance and there are so many different places to go; most things you could want are easily accessible. It's pretty safe and although there has been crime, you don't hear about it as often as in other neighborhoods. As a woman I feel safe walking around during the early hours, like when I go to the gym down the block at 6 am.

The people here are pleasant to be around and if there is anything, the police are quick to deal with it,The neighborhood is also full of amenities and shops

all local businesses and no chains or fast food so it maintains charm there are as many restuarttanats sands bars and diners and a movie theater playhouse4 art galleries

It is try rural and agricultural so I have animals roaming freely. It is a friendly community with environmentally concerned citizens. Neighbors watch your house for unusual activity. Love the scenery.

I like how close where I live is to both a downtown area and to a college. You can walk anywhere in the area
