Living in Santa Barbara
A move from San Diego to Santa Barbara can be a major adjustment, even though they’re in the same state. While they share a similar California climate, the setting between the two cities is quite different. Living in Santa Barbara will often feel like you’re in a completely different world.
The Santa Barbara population is sitting around 92,000 people, making it a much smaller community than San Diego, yielding a higher cost of living as well. But this higher cost comes with its fair share of perks, local activities, and closer access to Los Angeles. Right along the Pacific, you will find some of the greatest ocean views in the state along with some fun things to do in Santa Barbara.
Everyone wants to know about the best restaurants when moving to a new city. You’ll have a wealth of places to eat around the best Santa Barbara neighborhoods. Take a drive up to Cold Spring Tavern for some great barbecue, have a juicy burger at The Shop, or enjoy some Mexican comfort food from La Super-Rica Taqueria. There are plenty of other options for any palate.
If you’re still looking for more reasons to move to Santa Barbara, then you may want to check out a true coastline experience at Wheel Fun. Rent a bike and cruise around Santa Barbara harbor. Take your pick between beach cruisers, tandem bikes, surreys, rollerblades, and more, to explore the area from a unique perspective. Follow one of their self-guided tours or choose your own adventure around the beach and oceanfront.
Are you a fan of trains? A popular activity for both Los Angeles and Santa Barbara residents is taking the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner to and from each city. With 11 daily routes to choose from, you can spend the ride eating from their large dining menu, having drinks, and enjoying the breathtaking views of Southern California.
