Wedged between the sculpted mountain peaks of the Santa Ynez Mountains and the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean, Goleta lives up to its nickname, "The Good Land." Once known for its lemon orchards, today Goleta provides an alternative to its busier neighbor, Santa Barbara. It offers multiple farmers markets, an inspiring Butterfly Preserve, and easy access to the Santa Barbara Municipal Airport. It is also minutes away from the University of California, Santa Barbara, which sits just south of the city.
Renting an apartment in Goleta, you'll get the best of everything: exploring the Playgrounds hiking trail in the mountains, fun-filled days at Goleta Beach, easy access to Santa Barbara (a short, 10-mile drive), and a downtown bursting with shops and restaurants. And while some residents commute, many work in the city at companies such as Deckers Brands -- a footwear company founded by two UC Santa Barbara grads in Goleta in 1973.

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.

Property Ratings at Tropicana Student Housing
Took a tour with my son at Tropicana Del Norte SBCC residence hall. The property was awesome and our tour guide was so thorough and informative.

Thank you for your 5-star review! Tropicana Management
Tropicana has a great staff that is very committed to creating a positive experience for students. I lived here my senior year at UCSB and loved it! There are lots of fun events to get to know new people within the community and I really liked living in an environment with other students who were also focused on their academics.

I’ve truly enjoyed my time at Tropicana Gardens. I lived in a UCSB dorm during my first year, but I was never a fan of the dining hall food. Here, though, the food is actually good! Plus, the bedrooms are spacious, and you only have to share a bathroom with 2-3 people max, which is a huge bonus.

Thank you for your 5-star review! - Tropicana Management Team
I lived at Gardens during my freshman year and had an amazing experience! The property is within walking distance of the UCSB campus, and there's a bus stop right in front of the main lobby. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the RAs are approachable and easy to talk to. If you're a UCSB student looking for a great off-campus community, I highly recommend it.

Tropicana Student Housing is a solid choice for UCSB students! The amenities, like the pool and gym, are a big plus, and the location makes getting to campus easy. The staff is responsive, and there’s a strong sense of community, which makes it a great place to meet people. Overall, it is a fun and convenient living experience!

After reviewing my options in IV housing, I decided on tropicana because their rent is about the same as other leasing companies but it includes utilities and tropicana gardens has a meal plan included in the rent, so overall it is a better deal.

Thank you for your 5-star review! - Tropicana Management Team
I lived at Tropicana Gardens during my first year, and I absolutely loved it! The front desk staff were always super friendly and helpful. The RAs were also awesome—they helped me meet a ton of new people and made the whole college experience way less intimidating. I also stayed in a triple, and it was surprisingly spacious for a dorm. Overall, Tropicana Gardens was a great place to live, and I definitely recommend it!

Thank you for the 5-star review! - Tropicana Mangement
From the food, to the close proximity to campus, to the positive attitude from each of the staff, there isn't really much more you could ask for. The cafe was suprisingly very good and there is a pretty nice game room which I made use of pretty often. What I enjoyed most though about Tropicana was the RAs who seemed like they actually really cared about everyones well-being. Would recommend!

The property is super close to UCSB's campus and practically near the center of IV. The amenities are great, especially with the addition of events happening weekly! Also love that it's furnished.
