With Santa Barbara’s trademark closeness to nature and the beach and the convenience of big-box stores and local establishments just a minute away, the northern neighborhood of the relatively new City of Goleta is the perfect place for families and young professionals to settle down.

spot a young and exciting feel, but all with the understated beachy cool that makes S.B. one of the most desirable markets in the world.
Parks are abundant, so a place for the kids to play or a round of disc golf at Evergreen Open Space — or traditional golf at Glen Annie Golf Club — are never far away. Lake Los Carneros’ walking paths offer a quiet place to unwind, while the historic Stow House and South Coast Railroad museum are great for a few hours of family fun. Trader Joe’s and other grocery stores and pharmacies are just a few minutes from your door in the Calle Real and Fairview shopping centers, where you can also dine on rolls and more at Sushi Teri, Mexican food at Paloma Restaurant & Tequila Bar, burgers ordered from the counter at Kyle’s Kitchen, a quick smoothie from Blenders in the Grass, and more. Grab coffee at Starbucks or frozen yogurt for the kids while getting errands done at Bed Bath & Beyond, Michaels craft store, and Orchard Supply Hardware. On weekends, cycle past family farms and orchards on Cathedral Oaks Road, or head over the 101 for a run at Ellwood preserve, with monarch butterflies overhead and a bluff-top view of the ocean and quiet beaches. Catch a movie at Fairview Theatre, or bowl at Zodo’s while enjoying from a selection of 40 draught beers. Plus, your out-of-town guests have a trendy place to stay or grab a drink in the Goodland hotel, a stylish new spot by Kimpton (owner of the fabulous Canary Hotel in downtown Santa Barbara).
It’s classic California family living — only better.
