About this House

The Upper East is one of Santa Barbara's most prestigious neighborhoods, and "...a wonderful walking neighborhood, though residents often do not get too far for the frequency with which they run into friends to chat with along their way.

Because the topography is relatively flat to gently sloping, a healthy walk to downtown is very doable, as is a stroll through the nearby Mission rose gardens.

Residents especially enjoy the convenience of being minutes from the city stores, museums, theaters and most of downtown.

The newly reconstructed and very highly regarded Roosevelt School serves the Upper East and many of its students walk the few blocks to and from school each day.

The area gently slopes away from downtown towards the Mission and the base of the Riviera.

Many homes have great mountain views and some have peaks of the ocean."

from Santa Barbara Real Estate Voice, January 2008.
