About Santa Barbara

 Visitors often say that Santa Barbara is the most beautiful city they have ever experienced. It truly has an urban flair yet with the natural beauty one would expect to find in a seaside resort or quaint European village. It features a diversity of residential areas from the Upper East Side’s older, elegant mansions, to the Riviera, named after its European namesake, with its winding narrow streets and custom homes that feature city views. And of course the city prizes its charming beach bungalows and exquisite villas with unparalleled ocean vistas.

 While the city of Santa Barbara and its surrounding areas are breathtaking, its beauty is more than skin deep. It has become a hot-spot for active, community-minded residents who pride themselves on family, the environment and successful businesses. The diversity of its residents is inspiring, as is the multifaceted nature of all that the city offers. It is as easy to find quality shopping for everything from high-end fashion to camping equipment, as it is to stumble upon one of the city’s four hundred fine restaurants and enjoy a terrific meal. It also boasts one of the state’s top educational institutions, the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB), and the local airport and easy rail transportation are essential for those whose busy lifestyles keep them on the move.
