UPPER EASTSIDE

Location:
Roughly bounded by Alamar Avenue, State Street, and the Mission Canyon/Riviera neighborhoods, the Upper Eastside is just a few short blocks from downtown Santa Barbara.

Characteristics:
Stretching from the old Presidio downtown, the Upper Eastside gradually climbs to the steps of the historic Mission Santa Barbara. As such it has always been considered prime real estate, and was home to the town's wealthy elite dating back to 1895. Made up mostly of older, one-family homes, the lots are generally larger, laid out on neatly perpendicular streets.

Price Range:
$660,000 to $2,500,000
