A showcase of many large and impeccably preserved homes built for early day professionals and titans of business, Santa Barbara’s Upper East neighborhood, just a few blocks from downtown, offers a fine display of architectural styles, including Craftsman, Cape Cod, Colonial and Spanish Colonial Revival. Several of the homes are historically significant as well.
More modest cottages and bungalows – all reflecting pride of ownership – are also prominent throughout the area. Tree-shaded sidewalks and lush landscaping are the norm. Beautiful parks, including Alice Keck Memorial Garden and Alameda Park, serve not only residents, but also visitors from all over the world.
The renowned and revered Mission Santa Barbara, located at the northern boundary of the neighborhood, is one of 10 churches and religious education institutions in the area. Along the southern border of the Upper East neighborhood, apartments, condominiums, churches and schools coexist with private homes and, along the State Street corridor, businesses and offices. Much more information about the neighborhood is available at the Upper East Association website.
