Lower Hermosa Lifestyle

 
Known, like Muirlands, as “Olde La Jolla”, Lower Hermosa has no restaurants or shops but is within walking distance to the quaint district of Bird Rock. Lower Hermosa is simply about gorgeous homes and stunning views. Take a drive on “The Street of Dreams” (Camino de la Costa) in Lower Hermosa or enjoy a stroll along the sandy beach. You will often find families out walking their dogs and outdoor enthusiasts jogging or biking. Lower Hermosa is great for surfing and fishing as well (one of my client whose home I sold in 2011 for $10.8 million, used to regularly fish off her rocks!) Lower Hermosa is indeed a highly sought-after neighborhood in La Jolla because of its older and more classic residences. The clean, pristine, and well manicured neighborhood is perched above the Pacific Ocean and commands a heavier price tag for homes due to the views, the ambiance of the neighborhood and the location. Lower Hermosa boasts elegant homes and traditional architecture. There are service alleys in the neighborhood which means many of the garages are off an alley at the rear of the home. This makes walking in this area a treat with no garage doors or driveways to break up the lovely streetscapes. It is walking distance from the newly landscaped village of Bird Rock, with its European style roundabouts, and one of the best beaches in the world – Windansea Beach. Historically, Lower Hermosa has always been approximately 30% higher in value when compared with its adjacent neighborhood, Upper Hermosa.
