Only an hour north from the scorching bustle of Los Angeles, Santa Barbara could not be any more different. Huddled between the dramatic Santa Ynez Mountains and the vast Pacific Ocean, with one of the few south-facing beaches in the world, this Californian city of a little over 90,000 inhabitants boasts a Mediterranean microclimate, which only magnifies the area\u2019s Spanish heritage. No wonder that Santa Barbara\u2019s natural wonders and enchanting history have earned it the designation \u201cAmerican Riviera.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although the region was frequented by Spanish explorers in the 16th<\/sup> and 17th<\/sup> centuries, it was not until 1782, when Felipe de Neve arrived to erect the Presidio, that the town sprouted. The Spaniards established a military installation to ward off the quests of the English and Russians, and set up a mission that formed the core of what is today Santa Barbara.<\/p>\n

The city might have Spanish roots but it is often compared to what is perhaps the most famed Riviera \u2013 the French. \u201cI have not been to the French Riviera,\u201d said Santa Barbara-based real estate agent Chris Palme, \u201cbut I have heard the similarities are that the hillside homes are so close to the ocean.\u201d That comes in addition to the mild weather and relaxed lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Much like everything else about Santa Barbara, its luxury real estate is nothing but ordinary. With an average listing price tag of $1.5 million, many of the homes here have meticulously white-washed facades and fairytale-worthy red-tile roofs \u2013 features that dominate the Spanish Colonial and Mediterranean architectural styles. One majestic abode that exemplifies the charm of the Old World is 2434 Stanwood Drive<\/a>, a sprawling 4,200sq. ft. villa, whose arched entrance and weathervane-topped tower appear at the end of a leafy gated drive.<\/p>\n

While European sensitivities abound, \u201ca popular architectural style currently is modern,\u201d said Palme. No matter the style, however, Santa Barbara\u2019s residences easily attract with the vistas they afford \u2013 a blend of the lush green of the nearby mountains and the serene blue of the ocean. 15 Rudio Road<\/a> offers sweeping ocean views, that stretch beyond the city and its harbor. The home\u2019s 1920s\u2019 appeal and contemporary appointments make for an ideal retreat. Another benefit the residence has is its proximity to Santa Barbara\u2019s downtown cluster of entertainment.<\/p>\n

\u201cOther than the ideal year-round climate, Santa Barbara has an amazing array of world-class music, theatre, and lectures among other things,\u201d said Palme. \u201cThat is unusual for a small city.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quoting a Santa Barbara local, Palme gushed, \u201cWe know how lucky we are not to have to go to Europe to enjoy the Riviera lifestyle.\u00a0We\u2019ve got a better Riviera right here in Santa Barbara.”<\/p>\n
