Santa Barbara / Montecito
Nicknamed “The American Riviera,” Santa Barbara is adorned in Bougainvillea, dotted with red-tiled rooftops from its Spanish-style architecture, and endless charms at each angle. Whether prospective buyers are seeking a tucked away coastal enclave such as Montecito, residents and tourists can affirm – Santa Barbara is the ultimate getaway.
90 miles north of Los Angeles, the small city embraces both Highway 101 and stunning beaches such as Refugio State Beach, Butterfly Beach, or Summerland County State Park with vistas of Channel Islands). Across the 101, the city is made up of rolling hills and Mediterranean-style homes that blend into the Santa Ynez Mountains and wine country.
In addition to its traditional charm, Santa Barbara boasts a new and inventive energy with its dining, boutiques, wine tasting rooms, and waterfront entertainment. There is no other place like it.
