Things to Do in Santa Barbara, California – The Mission District

kevinschmidtchen — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 17:33:41 +0000

Whether you are a local, in town visiting family and/or friends, or here on vacation in Santa Barbara, California, there is never a lack of activities and things to do in our wonderful seaside resort community. Here below is the second installment in a series of articles that point out some of Santa Barbara’s most prominent local attractions. Some of these will be cultural, some dining, some active pursuits and some I am still deciding on. This second installment will be focusing on…

Santa Barbara Mission District:

The Mission District is one of the oldest residential neighborhoods in Santa Barbara and is home to the neighborhoods of The Upper East and Mission Canyon. Many of the older homes in Santa Barbara can be found in these areas with larger lots, mature growth, numerous sandstone walls, boulders and seasonal creeks.

The Botanic Garden - Set on 78 acres and with over 5 miles of walking trails, this wonderful outing provides you with a look into our state’s rare and indigenous plants. A peaceful day exploring will also be rewarded with sweeping Channel Island views as well as numerous mountain top views. The Botanic Garden is an educational and scientific institution and fosters stewardship of the natural world through inspired learning, rigorous scholarship, and premier displays.

The Santa Barbara Mission – It would be hard to visit Santa Barbara and not go to The Mission. Known in California as the “Queen of the Missions”, it is the only one of California’s 21 Missions to be continuously occupied by the Franciscans. It still functions as a church to this day with self-guided tours daily.

Museum of Natural History – Set on eleven oak-shaded acres in the historic Mission Canyon area, The Museum of Natural History features eleven exhibit halls, focusing primarily on regional natural history, including birds, insects, mammals, marine life, paleontology, Native Americans and the Chumash Indians. The Museum houses the largest collection of Chumash Indian artifacts outside the Smithsonian.

Santa Barbara CA Neighborhoods – Mission Canyon

kevinschmidtchen — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 00:20:33 +0000

Mission Canyon - Santa Barbara

Mission Canyon, which with the Old Mission complex and the area bounded on the south by Mission Street, making up Santa Barbara’s “Mission District,” is unique. No residential neighborhood in the city boasts a richer historical background, or offers more relics and landmarks of Old Spanish Days Fr. Junipero Serra, when he helped found the Royal Presidio of Santa Barbara in 1782, intended Santa Barbara’s Franciscan mission to be built in El Montecito near the present site of Our Lady of Mount Carmel church on East Valley Road. But four years later, when his successor, Fr. Fermin Lasuen OFM, arrived to establish our mission, he decided that Montecito was too infested with grizzly bears and renegade Indians to risk building a mission so far removed from the protection of the presidio soldiers, so he looked elsewhere.

Mission Canyon Real Estate values average around $ 700,000 to $ 3.5 million. Mission Canyon view homes and estates start at around $ 1.3 million and can go up to $ 4 million.
