    "I have lived in this neighborhood for 2 years and love the location! In the center or town, 2 exits from Montecito, 20 minute walk to State Street, 20 minute walk to the beach and the Santa Barbara Bowl. Busy a few hours during the day and quiet at nights and weekends. 5 minute walk to Trader Joes and Pure Order, 1 minute from CVS and many restaurants. Great area for urbanites and active young adults."
