The Eastside of Santa Barbara is an easily walkable neighborhood with lots of shops, restaurants and more. It sits below the affluent Montecito and Upper East Side neighborhoods. With panoramic views of both ocean and mountain, the East Side is a beautiful place to live!
The Eastside is also close to downtown and all of the amenities that Downtown has to offer. Including Paseo Nuevo, Sterns Wharf, the Santa Barbara Mission, and more!

Composed of mostly small single-family homes and apartment buildings, the Eastside is a great place for first time home buyers.
