The Santa Barbara Market
What Drives Rentals In Santa Barbara
Santa Barbara is one of the California markets where we actively evaluate apartment buildings. Rental demand here is supported by University of California, Santa Barbara and Santa Barbara City College, Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, and tourism and hospitality.
Santa Barbara is a tightly supplied coastal market where most apartments are older small buildings, and new construction is limited by land and coastal regulation. Buyers should check local rent rules, budget for seismic and systems upgrades, and expect demand from students, healthcare staff and hospitality workers.
We look for multifamily properties of 5+ units in areas such as Downtown and State Street, the Mesa, and the Riviera — from well-kept stabilized buildings to properties that need renovation, better management, or lease-up.
