Where the four sit

Each of these places has its own character, and none is a copy of another.

Point Loma (ZIP 92106) is a peninsula community of the City of San Diego, across San Diego Bay from Coronado. La Jolla (ZIP 92037) is a coastal community of the City of San Diego, north of downtown. Imperial Beach (ZIP 91932) is a separate city south of Coronado, along the Silver Strand. A ZIP code is a mail-delivery area, so each contains more than one kind of street, and a home’s own address matters more than any average.

How to use this page

  • Start with the type of home. A condominium in one place and a house in another are different purchases; the market reports show the typical value by home type.
  • Look at the monthly cost, not just the price. Taxes, insurance and association dues can change the ranking.
  • Then check the address. Streets a few blocks apart can price very differently, and the ZIP average cannot show that.

Common questions

The table above lists the typical value in each; it updates monthly. Averages hide a lot, so compare the type of home you want.

Where does the data come from?

Values, rents and activity come from Zillow Research; the housing profile comes from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.
