M O N T E C I T O
Living in Montecito is both a privilege and a pleasure. Close enough to Los Angeles for accessibility yet far enough to feel a million miles away. Most residents live here by choice and value that opportunity.
From Butterfly Beach to Montecito Peak, our charming villages, luxurious accommodations, and stunning architecture complement the lush landscape of our home.
Below are a few highlights and general information for those new to the area.
Welcome to Montecito!
