San Roque Gardens

Well-maintained homes on tree-lined streets in a quiet residential pocket

San Roque Gardens

San Roque Gardens is a small residential pocket just off Upper State Street, in the part of Santa Barbara's San Roque area that locals sometimes call South San Roque. It sits near Loreto Plaza on short lanes like San Pedro, San Pablo, Santa Maria, San Gabriel and San Jose, with McCaw Avenue leading down to the Santa Barbara Golf Club. Most of the houses are single-story, many of the lanes have no sidewalks, and the architecture is mixed, which is typical of San Roque, where most lots were built out between 1945 and 1970.

The appeal is convenience with a neighborhood feel. Groceries, coffee and errands along Upper State Street are within walking distance, the municipal golf course is at the end of McCaw, and MacKenzie Park and the La Cumbre Plaza area are close by. Downtown and the freeway are a short drive away. It suits buyers who want a single-level home in central Santa Barbara, including first-time buyers, downsizers and anyone who'd rather walk than drive for daily errands. Buyers looking for that kind of everyday convenience should keep an eye on these streets; sellers benefit from steady demand for single-story homes this close to Upper State.
