Goleta

The Good Land for its flourishing agricultural opportunities.

The Good Land

Long ago nicknamed The Good Land for its flourishing agricultural opportunities, Goleta sprawls over a verdant coastal plain northwest of Santa Barbara. Driving along Cathedral Oaks Road through an archway of eucalyptus trees, rustic houses give way to vast expanses of citrus and avocado orchards and hillsides blanketed with golden California poppies. Properties are a mix of bucolic suburban neighborhoods and charismatic homes gracing acres of pastoral lands.


Old Town Goleta has a unique homespun appeal, with a variety of cuisine and vintage stores. Nearby UCSB brings students and college professionals to the area frequently and with them a profusion of craft breweries and quick eats.

With close proximity to Santa Barbara Airport and an abundance of real estate opportunities, Northern Goleta hosts a growing number of tech startups and corporate headquarters.


1 Cyclists and runners will delight in Goleta’s Obern Trail, a paved trail over 21 miles long traveling between Santa Barbara and Goleta beach, with dazzling views of the mountains and ocean.

Don’t forget to take your binoculars to the nearby Goleta Slough, where you’re likely to spot egrets, herons, and other stunning bird species. Nearby Ellwood Butterfly Preserve is home to the monarch migration each year, with millions of gorgeous butterflies lining the limbs of the eucalyptus, fig, and coast oak trees.


With so much life thriving in these parts, it’s easy to see why Goleta attracts such a vibrant population—residents who know that Goleta is not only a good land but a good home.
