I am happy to report that August is turning into another stellar month in the real estate industry here in Santa Barbara. My new listing, a lovely Carpinteria Beach Condo, is an Ideal investment opportunity or primary residence. Located close to the city’s famed beaches this 2-bedroom condo is located inside a small convenient complex. Carpinteria is a coastal community with small town charm valued by visitors and residents alike.
Offered at $565.000, this home is absolutely charming with features such as an enclosed spacious back patio, a large living room, and off street parking. The condo is within walking distance to the beach, something the new residents will undoubtedly appreciate.
Beautiful beaches, breathtaking mountain views, and a diverse economy make Carpinteria a wonderful place to live, work, and 
play. Located in the southeastern part of Santa Barbara County, Carpinteria Beach is known for its gentle slope and calm waves in selected sandy areas but also good surfing swells in some of the more rocky areas. Seals and sea lions can be seen in the area December through May at the rookery in the nearby Carpinteria Bluffs, as well as an occasional gray whale. Tide pools contain starfish, sea anemones, crabs, snails, octopuses and sea urchins.
A marathon-length round trip north of the rookery along the beach to Stearns Wharf in Santa Barbara is possible, though passable only during low tide. A popular campground is located adjacent to the beach.
There is bird watching at Carpinteria Salt Marsh Reserve, which supports many sensitive plant and animal species. The reserve is located on extensive wetland, adjacent to a sandy beach, subtidal rocky reef, and kelp beds, providing habitat for migratory waterfowl along with several species of plants and animals listed as endangered, threatened or of special concern, such as the salt marsh birds-beak, light-footed clapper rail, and Belding’s savannah sparrow. It also is an important regional nursery for California halibut and other species of marine and estuarine fish.
