About
Riviera
Riviera, located between Downtown Santa Barbara and the Santa Ynez Mountains, is a hillside and coastal Santa Barbara neighborhood with terraced streets and ocean-view overlooks. The character concentrates around the El Encanto area on Mission Ridge Road, where a quiet, resort-like pocket meets winding lanes and garden courtyards. Spanish Colonial Revival estates and midcentury view homes line the slopes above Alameda Padre Serra, with palms and stone walls shaping the streetscape. The Riviera Theatre and the Santa Barbara Bowl act as cultural anchors for film nights and live music. Mission Canyon’s trailheads and the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden add a nature-forward rhythm to the neighborhood.
