About this home

Great family house as it is...but, If you have a project in mind, this property is just outside of the Coastal Commission boundary; which makes permitting and building a lot easier/shorter. Located in a very safe, desirable and friendly neighborhood, La Jolla Palisades. Easy access to all of La Jolla, Pacific Beach, shopping (New Gelson's Market is just down the street!) beaches, parks and all schools.
