There’s a good chance you’ve never noticed the second-floor
apartments in the La Jolla Village
Center shopping complex, or have
even given serious consideration to living in a mall. Following the classic
real-estate mantra, however, LJVC is a prime place to live for three reasons:
location, location, location.

Imagine waking up in the morning to the smell of Peet’s
Coffee, or being able to walk to Rubio’s when you’re hungry or CVS Pharmacy
when you need toilet paper. For a small complex, there’s pretty much nothing —
including UCSD — that’s more than a short walk away.

To be fair, the amenities are kind of sparse — there’s no
gym and only three washers/dryers for almost 40 apartments — but at
$1,475/month for a two-bedroom, it’s slightly cheaper than most of what you’ll
find in La Jolla. Add that to the money you save on a parking pass, and you’ll
probably have enough left over for a midweek celebration at TGI Friday’s, which
you’ll happily discover is only a parking lot’s stumble away.
