The “Westside Story” of Santa Barbara is laid in our city’s first suburb. Cottage Hospital and its surrounding laboratories, rest homes, professional buildings, clinics and other medically-oriented satellites, has made it very convenient for the local residents.
City Hall recognizes the Westside as the oldest established residential area in town: six out of ten houses were built prior to 1940. Santa Barbara’s Westside is one of the last frontiers for that great American tradition, one that is daily becoming scarce – the single family home.
