La Jolla, Downtown, Hillcrest

I've been doing a lot of reading since I last wrote and am now considering either La Jolla, Little Italy, Gaslamp Quarter/Horton Plaza or Hillcrest. They are all so different, and I'm torn!

I would prefer La Jolla given I've barely heard a bad word about it (and it's so beautiful), but not sure if I'd 'fit in'. Also Hillcrest could be something new to me but also I am not sure it's my kind of area. Downtown sounds great, but I am not sure exactly how noisy it is there??

I've been 'hooning around' in my 'car' on Google Maps' Streetview which is quite fun!! It gives me a good idea of what certain streets/areas look like!

Cost of living

After doing some research and asking some people I am pleased to discover the cost of living is lower than my hometown Sydney - which is a big huge relief! Yay!
