La Jolla
Upscale coastal California
La Jolla is an affluent coastal neighborhood of San Diego, California, known for its dramatic cliffs, coves, and beaches along the Pacific.
The name comes from Spanish, though its exact meaning is disputed—possibly "the jewel" or "the hollow." It's home to the University of California San Diego and several major research institutions: They bought a house in La Jolla overlooking the ocean.
