Rising dramatically above Santa Barbara, the Riviera's winding roads and terraced gardens echo the romance of the Italian Mediterranean coast that inspired its name. This sought-after neighborhood, with its sweeping views of the Pacific and Channel Islands, offers a commanding perspective of the city's red-tiled roofs, harbor, and mountainous backdrop.
Thoughtfully developed in the early 1900s, the Riviera's architectural landscape features an elegant mix of Spanish Colonial Revival estates, contemporary viewpoint residences, and charming Mediterranean cottages. Each home seems perfectly positioned to embrace the area's natural beauty and legendary sunsets.
Residents treasure their proximity to the historic Riviera Theatre, local favorite Riviera Ridge School, and the intimate collection of shops at the Riviera Marketplace. Hidden staircases and quiet lanes create an old-world atmosphere, while nearby access to hiking trails and Franceschi Park connects inhabitants to Santa Barbara's natural splendor. Here, elevated living takes on both a literal and figurative meaning.
