The Santa Barbara Riviera is one of the most desirable Santa Barbara home locations for prospective buyers and the top choice of our blog readers for the “top neighborhood” that locals wanted us to highlight with routine market updates. Homeowners on the Riviera experience the breathtaking views of the city and Pacific Ocean and residents can catch a stunning vista of the water as they drive along APS, as well as mountain views north from Foothill Road to Sycamore Canyon Road while driving through the backside of the Riviera. The majority of the Riviera is fairly steep, which provides the foundation for hundreds of mostly two and three-story custom homes tucked into the sloped landscape. While these homes command higher than average Santa Barbara real estate prices, there have been some excellent values as of late.

San Roque, Santa Barbara consistently draws the most interest from Santa Barbara home buyers. Quality-built homes, family friendly streets, and convenient access to excellent shopping and dining make it an ideal location for many. Residents enjoy close proximity to downtown Santa Barbara (approximately 5 minutes) but without the noise, traffic, and parking issues.
Few residential neighborhoods of Santa Barbara can boast the rich historical background of the San Roque. 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. Only half built up by 1940, the San Roque district filled in most of its home sites between 1955 and 1965. (San Roque History by Walker A. Tomkin)
