Santa Barbara CA Neighborhoods – Samarkand

kevinschmidtchen — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 18:38:28 +0000

Samarkand- Santa Barbara

Samarkand meant “the land of heart’s desire” in the archaic Persian tongue. It identified the fabulous Asian city where a mythical Queen Scheherazade spent her 1001 Arabian nights. In Santa Barbara, the melodic oriental name was first applied in 1920 to a deluxe Persian style hotel, formerly a boy’s school. As the dominating landmark of a hilly, elevated neighborhood, the Samarkand gave its name to an area bounded on the east by Oak Park, on the north by Hollister Avenue (now De La Vina Street), on the west by a ranch boundary fence centered on modern Las Positas Road, and on the south by the old Coast Highway and the railroad. Samarkand is a delightful area of homes full of charm.

The topography of the area is gently rolling hills with most homes having mountain views and some even peaks of the ocean.

Samarkand Real Estate values average around $ 725,000 to $ 2 million.
