Montecito, California

Montecito Village is a lush coastal community nestled between the mountains and the sea just south of Santa Barbara. Once the seasonal residence of wealthy eastern industrialists, the village has grown into the permanent residence of approximately 9,000. The area is attractive to both families and empty-nesters. Two outstanding public schools, safe and clean beaches, unique shops, great restaurants, golf and tennis draw weekenders and full-time residents from all over. Even those with strong business ties elsewhere find they can enjoy the Santa Barbara lifestyle. A true sense of community spirit is visible everywhere, from the elegant landscapes of the great Mediterranean estates to the well-tended gardens of California cottage and ranch-style homes, Montecitans take pride in their special place on planet Earth.
