Montecito

Montecito is located 4 miles from downtown and occupies approximately eight square miles of lush land and remarkable architecture. Once a fashionable health resort, Montecito now boasts world-class hotels, restaurants and shopping, all reasons that the area has remained a destination for the rich and famous for over 100 years. Montecito extends from the sandy beaches along the Pacific Coast to the foothills of the Santa Ynez Mountains. Many of the estates that are hidden behind tall hedges and up long winding driveways give the area an aura of mystery, privacy and prominence. Whether surfing, hiking, shopping, looking at beautiful houses, or enjoying the unhurried pace of life, Montecito is a treat to behold and residents are fortunate indeed to live in such a wonderful part of Santa Barbara.
