Residential suburb anchored by local elementary schools

Set between the Santa Ynez mountains and the Pacific coastline, Canalino Village is a small residential pocket on the north side of U.S. Route 101 in Carpinteria. Only a mile from the beach and Linden Street, a local shopping corridor full of local restaurants, Canalino Village is centered on Canalino Elementary School and Carpinteria Family School with several surrounding churches, including Saint Joseph Catholic Church and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Streetscapes feel quieter and more secluded compared to properties south of the highway, and the nearby elementary schools are a draw for young families. "Compared to Santa Barbara, Carpinteria is a much smaller town. We tend to know exactly who's in our local government, and the community is very involved," says John Villar, real estate broker, President of John Villar and Associates, and Carpinteria local for over 35 years.

Ranch-style homes on uniform grassy lots throughout the neighborhood

Canalino Village includes mostly ranch-style homes from the 1960s and 1980s with prominent two-car garages, vinyl siding and shingle-tile roofs. Most three or four-bedroom properties sell for between $1 million and $1.5 million, while ranch-style homes built since 2000, featuring covered front porches and manicured lawns, range from $1.9 million to $2.4 million. Homes are typically set close together on uniform grassy lots dotted with palm trees, though some residents opt for eclectic gardens full of native shrubbery and other tropical plants. Within walking distance of Canalino Elementary and several local churches, the neighborhood’s quiet, low-traffic streets make it easy for kids to play in neighborhood streets or bike around the block.
