S ANTA B ARBARA
Location: Santa Barbara is located on the South Central coast of California facing the Pacific Ocean, about 90 miles northwest of Los Angeles and 350 miles south of San Francisco. The metro area encompasses about 18 square miles and is situated between the
Santa Ynez Mountains to the north and the Santa Barbara channel to the south. Elevation within the city limit ranges from sea level to 850 feet.
Access: The Santa Barbara Airport (SBA) is affiliated with seven airlines and offers flights
by both commercial and private planes. There are non-stop flights to twelve major cities
including Dallas, Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Portland, Sacramento, Salt
Lake City, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, and Seattle. Connections can be made to
destinations worldwide. Bus service is available with Greyhound Bus Lines and there are
daily arrivals and departures from the convenient downtown terminal. The Amtrak Station on State Street fields stops by northbound and southbound trains on a daily basis.
Climate: Temperatures for the Santa Barbara area range from a low of 56 to a high of 82
degrees during the summer months (April-September), and a low of 47 to a high of 66 degrees in the winter months (October-March). The average rainfall is 18 inches, and the air
quality is generally good.
History: The Santa Barbara area was discovered and claimed for Spain in 1542 by Juan
Cabrillo, a Portuguese explorer sailing for Spain. In 1602 Sebastian Vizcaino anchored
offshore on December 4th-the feast day of Saint Barbara (patroness of Mariners). The
ship’s priest named both the channel and mainland area Santa Barbara in her honor. In
April 1782 Padre Junipero Serra established the Presidio Real of Santa Barbara in a grand
ceremony, and four years later construction of Mission Santa Barbara began. It was the
tenth of 21 Franciscan missions to be built in upper-California. Soon Yankee traders,
tourists and health seekers, followed by wealthy Easterners settled in Santa Barbara because of the mild winters. The mixture of newcomers and Spanish descendants has
shaped the area for what it has become today.
Population: Santa Barbara County has a population of about 400,000 residents, 90,000
of whom live within the city limits. Neighboring Santa Barbara County are San Luis
Obispo County with a population of about 250,000 and Ventura County which is home
to 750,000 people.
Churches: Over 140 churches in the area represent almost every faith and denomination.
5
Accommodations: Santa Barbara boasts over 90 hotels, plus numerous bed and breakfast
inns, all of which provide over 4,500 rooms from the modest to the most luxurious for
both business travelers and tourists.
Restaurants: There are some 400 restaurants, coffee shops, cafes, and snack bars, many
with sidewalk cabaret tables for outdoor dining. Menus around Santa Barbara range from
fast food to fine dining. There are also a wide variety of restaurants that feature exotic cuisine from all over the world.
Media: The Santa Barbara News-Press is locally owned and operated daily newspaper with
circulation in excess of 40,000. There are seven AM, and nine FM radio stations, along
with eleven television stations available with antenna or cable.
Economy: Santa Barbara’s employment force is mainly in service-related companies. The
economy is based on electronics and space age research, light manufacturing, educational
facilities, tourist and convention services. Additional contributors to the economic stability of the area are commercial fishing, agriculture, government and finance, commercially
produced minerals such as petroleum, natural gas, sand and gravel, and wholesale and retail enterprises. The financial community consists of 11 banks with 36 offices, and 8 savings and loan associations with 17 offices.
Schools and Libraries: The Santa Barbara School District’s school programs include elementary, middle/junior high, senior high, special education, and continuation curriculum and rank among the best in the state. Santa Barbara is also home of Santa Barbara
City College, Westmont College, and the University of California, as well as Brooks Institute School of Photography and the Music Academy of the West. The public library system consists of six branches and a bookmobile. The system contains over 300,000 books,
6,000 records, numerous subscriptions to periodicals, thousands of pamphlets, and over
4,000 videos.
Transportation: The Metropolitan Transit District provides bus service to and from various points in Santa Barbara daily. Fares are $1.75 dollar for the general public and $0.85
cents for senior citizens (over 62), and packaged ticket deals can decrease the price per
ride. The District also has electric bus service available for areas not serviced by regular
bus routes.
Medical Facilities: There are four hospitals that serve the medical needs of the greater
Santa Barbara area with a total of over 800 beds to meet the health requirements of the
community.
6
Culture: The Santa Barbara Museum of Art is one of five privately maintained museums.
There are displays of works from many private collections, and the public library has a
wing of paintings and related art. There are a number of private galleries with unique selections of works for sale. The Contemporary Arts Forum is located centrally in the Paseo
Nuevo Mall. The Santa Barbara Symphony Orchestra provides entertainment throughout
the year. There are theatre groups as well as groups from educational institutions which
perform year round. In addition to local productions, road companies of various Broadway productions schedule performances at facilities in our area. The Santa Barbara Choral
Society performs at many local functions at various times throughout the year as well.

Recreation: Recreation plays a very important part in the life of Santa Barbara, for resident and visitor alike. There are both public and private golf courses for all from the
‘weekend duffer’ to the scratch golfer. The 34 municipal parks, many with picnic equipment and children’s playgrounds, and some with facilities for volleyball, softball, swimming, lawn-bowling, and tennis (some with light for night play) are gathering places for
locals and visitors alike. There is both saltwater and freshwater fishing within a short distance of Santa Barbara. Some other recreational activities in the surrounding areas include hot air ballooning, bicycling, hang gliding, hiking, horseback riding, polo,
roller-skating, scuba diving, off-road vehicle driving, and whale watching.

MONTECITO
Full of mystique and grandeur, history and beauty, Montecito, approximately eight square miles of
hidden neighborhoods and expansive estates, has been the destination of choice for celebrities and
millionaires for over one hundred years.
Located a couple miles east of Santa Barbara, “Montecito”, which is Spanish for “little mountain”,
first received attention from wealthy Easterners and Midwesterners, in the late 1800’s. These early
settlers developed large and lavish estates.
Today, Montecito offers varied options for residential living, such as an easy-care condominium just
steps from the beach, a hidden cottage set on a tree-shaded lane, as well as large estates on many
acres, both old and new.
The pace of life here is unhurried, and it is easy to see why Montecito has become a desirable
second home location for big city dwellers. Whether you’re a famous movie star or a curious
traveler, you’ll find Montecito to be truly a lush paradise.
41
PRICE RANGE FROM $1 MILLION TO $32 MILLION+
HOPE RANCH
From 1888 until the 1920’s, the Pacific Improvement Company shaped the destiny of Hope
Ranch, molding it into its present image as a wealthy suburb of Santa Barbara. Many of the
amenities offered to members of the Hope Ranch Home Association, established in the 1930’s,
include cabanas for a private beach club fronting the ranch, a polo field, archery range, skeetshooting facility, tennis courts, and 30 miles of bridle paths.
Space prohibits a full account of Hope Ranch’s outdoor-living background, shared by middle-class
families as well as the affluent. As a result of this independent spirit, Hope Ranch continues to
maintain the lofty standards of suburban living which have been in effect since the late Harold S.
Chase advertised his “sun-kissed, ocean-washed, mountain-girded, island-guarded Hope Ranch”
more than half a century ago.

PRICE RANGE FROM $2 MILLION TO $30 MILLION+

The Santa Barbara area is blessed with a number of very beautiful beaches and each beach has its
own distinctive identity and attributes. Whether you want to swim, surf, play volleyball, or just lie
in the sun, there’s a stretch of sand for everyone. Some of our beaches are extremely accessible and
have lifeguard services and facilities such as restrooms and barbeque pits, while other beaches are
more remote and offer greater solitude and adventure.

THE UPPER EAST
City planners regard the Upper East as perhaps the most important factor in Santa Barbara’s
growth. More undeveloped space and a higher percentage of older one-family homes exist in the
East than in any other of the city’s neighborhoods. The Upper East has been identified as a
bailiwick of the wealthy elite since 1895.
Santa Barbara’s famous community playhouse, the Lobero Theater, located in the Upper East, was
built in 1924, and was known as the cultural center years ahead of Los Angeles and San Diego.

THE RIVIERA
Bridging the 2 mile span that separates Mission and Sycamore Canyons, the sylvan uplift which
padres knew as the “mission ridge” has for the past 65 years been known as “the Riviera” due to its
resemblance to slopes along the Mediterranean coast of France and Italy. Santa Barbarans lucky
enough to live on this ridge attach premium value to their homes because of their unsurpassed
views of the city, mountains, sea, and islands.
The Riviera is famous for its semitropical appearance. The flowing curves at the west end of
Alameda Padre Serra today mark the old streetcar right of way, the curves being essential to
provide a gradient which electric cars could negotiate.
One of the older and more stabilized neighborhoods in the city, the Riviera also ranks as one of
the wealthiest and best-educated. “We know how lucky we are not to have to go to Europe to
enjoy the Riviera life-style,” one cosmopolite commented. “We’ve got a better Riviera right here in
Santa Barbara.”

Ethel Barrymore, the late empress of stage and screen, once told a friend, “Fortunate indeed is the
person who can live in Santa Barbara, and doubly blessed if his home is located in Mission
Canyon.”
American newcomers, during the 1850’s were quick to appreciate the sylvan beauty of Mission
Canyon, and they began to move in and build homes. Above them were a series of rocky cascades
known as The Seven Falls. Homes in Mission Canyon range from the humble adobe, to
magnificent mansions like Glendessary, on the shady lane of the same name. This sprawling halftimbered Tudor manor house was one of the fine homes built before the turn of the century by
Christoph Tornoe, a gifted Danish artisan.

SAN ROQUE
Few residential neighborhoods of Santa Barbara can boast the rich historical background of the
San Roque and Rutherford Park areas. The neighborhood got its name when the first white men
arrived in 1769 with Governor Portola. They camped at the mouth of the San Roque Creek,
which they named to memorialize the patron saint of invalids, Saint Roque, a Carmelite friar of
the 14th century.
Now a built-up, economically stabilized suburb, it is admired for its sweeping curved streets, its
luxuriant landscaping, and its harmonious blend of many architectural themes - Spanish Colonial,
English Tudor, French Normandy, California Redwood, Italianate and American Colonial, mostly
built since 1925.
With shopping and banking facilitated at their very doorstep, residents of San Roque feel that they
are living in one of Santa Barbara’s choicest residential neighborhoods, where investing in home
or business property guarantees future security.

SAMARKAND
Samarkand meant “the land of heart’s desire” in the archaic Persian tongue. As the dominating
landmark of a hilly, elevated neighborhood, the Samarkand gave its name to an area bounded on
the east by Oak Park.
The Samarkand neighborhood could point with pride to one of America’s most beautiful and
prestigious retirement centers, originally a hotel. The Samarkand District Improvement
association, one of the most active in the city, reported that Samarkand has one of the lowest
population densities in Southern California.

T HE M ESA
Mesa, a Spanish word meaning “table”, has been applied to the flat beach fronting the ocean along
Santa Barbara’s southwestern border since mission days. The Mesa is one of the oldest historical
areas in the city, paradoxically it is one of our youngest residential districts.
Artists and writers have a special affinity for the Mesa as a carefree place to live. City weather
records show that the Mesa’s winter temperatures are 10 to 12 degrees warmer than downtown,
and 10 to 12 degrees cooler in the summer.
This climate attraction, plus the spectacular marine views, caused a housing boom after World
War II, creating the Mesa Improvement Association, dedicated to protecting the Mesa life-style as
one of the most envied in the South Coast area.

THE WESTSIDE
The “Westside Story” of Santa Barbara is laid in our city’s first suburb. Cottage Hospital and its
surrounding laboratories, rest homes, professional buildings, clinics and other medically-oriented
satellites, has made it very convenient for the local residents.
City Hall recognizes the Westside as the oldest established residential area in town: six out of ten
houses were built prior to 1940. Santa Barbara’s Westside is one of the last frontiers for that great
American tradition, one that is daily becoming scarce - the single family home.

CARPINTERIA
The Carpinteria Valley is located in the southeast corner of Santa Barbara County. It’s a little
piece of coastal paradise tucked midway between Ventura and Santa Barbara, seeming to shy away
from the glare of tourism’s spotlight, but at the same time welcoming all who chance to discover its
charms.
Carpinteria’s splendid natural setting and small town charm remain relatively undiscovered. Enjoy
the small town pleasures, where tree-shaded streets, parades and craft shows evoke a gentle way of
life. Dozens of antique stores, small shops and restaurants are clustered along the main streets of
Carpinteria and nearby Summerland, making the area a browser’s paradise.
Carpinteria is home to a world-renowned surfing area off Rincon Point, and a beautiful swimming
beach. Nature smiles kindly on the Carpinteria Valley, making it home to many nurseries.
