I've lived in La Jolla Crossroads for 4 years. I STRONGLY ADVICE AGAINST against renting in the community. Around a month ago, my car was vandalized. A couple of vandals smashed the rear windscreen of my car with a concrete block parked in the "resident overflow" parking spot. On the same night, a fellow resident's motorcycle was vandalized as well. The security of the community is a JOKE !. A "resident overflow" parking spot costs $40 for Summit security to issue a decal. There is no active monitoring of the parking spaces, plus if you park in guest spot if overflow does not have any spot, security person leaves a notes that you can not park in guest parking since you have overflow decal. When I wrote to the management about the incident, their response said "La Jolla Crossroad is not and has never been advertised as a protected community; the gates are not security gates." This is an EXACT sentence from their reply without any modifications. Please be advised that the management DOES NOT think of their community as safe and residents are pretty much on their own.
They do give out clickers when you sign a lease which is supposed to be used at "all" access points namely moving gates of the garage, elevator entrance at the garage level, main entrance of a building. However, for days at length the garage gates used to remain wide open with no sign of maintenance. The elevator access at the garage level has free access as well. On numerous occasions, solicitors could just come up the elevator and ring your door bell. I strongly advise that whoever is contemplating leasing at the community think twice before doing so. Rest assured, it WILL turn out to be very expensive in the long run.
