Residences include historic condominiums, contemporary apartments and penthouses, townhomes, and tucked-away bungalows, often appealing to buyers who prioritize walkability and a lower-maintenance lifestyle. State Street, the Granada and Arlington theaters, the Santa Barbara Public Market, farmers markets, Stearns Wharf, and West Beach are all nearby.
