Santa Barbara is no Hollywood.
It’s better.
There’s a reason why a-list Celebrities like oprah, ellen, ashton kutcher, and gwyneth paltrow choose Montecito when they can live anywhere in the world. Celebrities and high-net worth individuals love Santa Barbara for its ambiance, amenities, and privacy.
Privacy.
Away from the hustle and bustle.
Nestled between the sparkling Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ynez Mountains, Santa Barbara is the perfect escape for high-profile individuals. Whether you are looking for a casual day on the beach or an opportunity to splurge on luxury goods, Santa Barbara provides a little bit of everything.
Perhaps one of the most alluring aspects that allow Santa Barbara its incredible privacy are the Santa Ynez Mountains. There are multiple State Preserves, such as San Marcos Foothills Preserve, which protect the natural beauty of the mountains. There are also various preserves that protect Santa Barbara’s oceanside, such as the Douglas Family Preserve and More Mesa Prevention Coalition. By having State Preserves on both sides of our city, Santa Barbara remains private, exclusive, and ever-beautiful.
Community.
Santa Barbara is a strong, tight-knit, lively community.
From celebrating at Old Spanish Days Fiesta to lending a helping hand in times of need, Santa Barbara is a place where members of the community care for, support, and celebrate one another.
Partially due to Santa Barbara’s unique geographical location, our city stays small, and people know each other by name. As a member of the community , there is an added sense of responsibility, importance, and belonging.
