Cielito
Perched above Santa Barbara between the ridgelines of the Riviera and Eucalyptus Hill, Cielito offers wide-angle views of the Pacific and Santa Ynez Mountains, meandering lanes, and an easygoing, upscale residential feel. Many homes sit on generous lots framed by oaks and sandstone, giving residents a rare blend of privacy and proximity—sunrise trail walks and downtown dinners can both fit into the same day.
Nature is a daily companion here. The 200-plus-acre Parma Park unfolds with grassy meadows, creek crossings, and fire roads for hiking and mountain biking, while family-friendly Skofield Park links to the classic Rattlesnake Canyon trail network for longer outings under sycamores and chaparral. The reimagined Sheffield Reservoir Open Space adds native plantings, walking paths, and a peaceful overlook. When it’s time to head out, Coast Village Road’s boutiques and cafes and downtown theaters and the waterfront are only minutes away.
Families appreciate access to the Santa Barbara Unified School District, with neighborhood students commonly attending Santa Barbara High School and Santa Barbara Junior High School, plus well-regarded elementary options such as Roosevelt and Cleveland. Architectural styles range from Spanish Revival to contemporary, and the hillside setting encourages thoughtful, fire-wise landscaping and respect for the area’s natural contours.
