    "The walkability, beach, and exclusivity. I’ve lived here for 16 years and I’ve raised my two kids in La Jolla. The farmers market, elementary, middle and high school are within walking distance. Shops, cafes, restaurants, movie theatre, grocery store are all in walking distance. Easy access to the freeway if needed, but you don’t really need a car because the public transportation is easily accessible. "
