Westside

The Westside is known as Santa Barbara’s first suburb and is known for its simple, traditional single-family homes. City Hall records state that 6 out of 10 homes were built prior to 1960. Bounded by State Street to the North, Las Positas Road to the West and the Mesa to the South/Southeast the Westside today also includes the areas around Cottage hospital and Oak Park. The term Upper Westside is applied when referring to houses built on the hills below the Mesa.
