The Upper East neighborhood of Santa Barbara has been the crown jewel of the city with the most sought-after homes for decades. The houses are outstandingly large, and impressive. Sopping with character and intrigue. The embellished yards are groomed to perfection. And it’s quiet.

One can only dream of living in the Upper East. Driving through it is a pleasure in and of itself, gazing upon the glamorous houses, drowning in drool as you dream about what you would do with all that square footage.

The Santa Barbara Mission sits center stage amidst this audience of upscale homes, providing a performance fit for a standing ovation every time. With a rose garden and a picturesque backdrop of mountains and blue sky, the mission steals hearts daily. Established in the 1700s, the mission has been added onto and rebuilt three times. Now she stands in all her glory, increasing the property value of all of those around her.
