Eastern Goleta Valley, located between Santa Barbara and Goleta, is a residential and coastal-plain Santa Barbara neighborhood with a foothill backdrop and a campus-adjacent energy. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Calle Real and N Fairview Ave corridor, where taquerias, produce markets, bike shops, and low-key cafés line the strip. Mid-century ranch homes and newer townhome pockets sit on wide, tree-lined blocks, with mountain views opening up toward the Santa Ynez range. The Obern Trail and nearby creeks thread through greenbelts that link daily errands to outdoor time. Community pillars include the Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital campus, the Goleta Valley Library, and the Fairview Gardens farm stand. The pace feels practical and outdoors-oriented, with beaches and trailheads shaping the week.
Nestled down a private lane in the popular Foothill Elementary area, this warm and welcoming custom home invites you to slow down and stay awhile. With over 4,000 sq ft of flexible living space, it offers lots of room for everyone - with multiple gathering spaces, a huge upstairs flex room (think media room, gym, arcade and office all at the same time!) and easy flow to the outdoors. French doors open to a dreamy backyard made for entertaining, complete with a built-in bar + BBQ, and lush lawn for play. Super convenient location with dining, shopping, schools and beaches within minutes! This home has room for all the things you love to do - even the possibility of a dual living situation. The perfect blend of charm and comfort, this home makes everyday living and hosting feel effortless!
