City - Goleta

Tucked between the Santa Ynez Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, Goleta earns its nickname "The Good Land" in ways that are easy to feel the moment you arrive. The city sits just 10 miles from Santa Barbara, giving residents quick access to that city's dining and entertainment scene while enjoying a quieter pace at home. Goleta Beach draws visitors and locals alike, and the Ellwood Mesa Butterfly Preserve offers a one-of-a-kind natural spectacle each winter. The University of California, Santa Barbara sits just south of the city, lending a lively, intellectual energy to the surrounding area. Goleta itself incorporated as a city only in 2002, making it one of the newer municipalities on the California coast.

The rental market here offers a solid range of options, from cozy studio apartments to spacious multi-bedroom homes within established apartment communities.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
