Bridging the two mile span that separates Mission Canyon and Sycamore Canyon, the Riviera is one of Santa Barbara’s most coveted communities.

This amazing setting gives Riviera homes for sale an incredible value, making them a highly desirable choice.

Lifestyle and Amenities of Riviera Homes for Sale

Those who call the Riviera home enjoy pristine, semitropical surroundings. The majority of the area features winding and steep streets with mature trees and foliage. This makes traveling via biking and walking rather difficult, but this inclined location is what gives Riviera real estate its spectacular views. Further adding to the community’s beauty, all unsightly cables and utility wires are underground.
