Safe, family friendly, easy to get around by walking, bike, or bus.

I live in a neighborhood close to the beach. My neighbors are always willing to help with whatever I need. I'm close to gas station, convenience store, etc.

Santa Barbara is a very touristy area, so generally pretty safe. Like everywhere in the world there are some more 'sketchy' areas, but I would never say that I have felt incredibly unsafe. There's good nightlife and many people (especially on state street) that will get involved if they see any kind of harassment.

Santa Barba is like most places, be alert of your surroundings. The homeless problem has gotten worse recently and State St by the Marshall's is a hub for catcallers and people who may follow you. If you walk when there are still people around, it's relatively safe and people will let you walk with them. The rest of Santa Barbara (not Isla Vista) is very safe, just stay aware of your surroundings.

Situated along the picturesque coastline of California, Santa Barbara is world-renowned for its spellbinding beaches, vibrant Spanish-inspired architecture, and a climate that boasts sunshine almost all year round. Located approximately 90 miles north of Los Angeles, this enchanting city is nestled between the Santa Ynez Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, providing spectacular panoramic views. Santa Barbara is abundant in cultural richness, with notable attractions such as the historic Old Mission, luxurious vineyards in the Santa Ynez Valley, and a dynamic arts scene that infuses life into the city. The palm-lined, white sand beaches offer a plethora of water activities, and for playful interaction with marine life, the Stearns Wharf, California's oldest working wharf, is a must-visit. The downtown area, characterized by red-tiled roofs, appeals to visitors with upmarket boutiques, a multitude of dining options, and the vibrant Farmer's Market. Santa Barbara effortlessly combines the sophistication of a big city with the charm of a sun-kissed California beach town.
