Times they are-a-changing, especially in regards to the design of Santa Barbara homes . It is likely that the greatest change since the 1970s is the amount of square footage. Up from 1,600 square feet in 1973, the average new home has a spread of 2,400 square feet. Bathrooms have moved from less than two per home, to at least two.

Kitchens have had an increase as well, from a humble 9x10, to a tremendous 285 square feet. Islands, breakfast bars, and nooks are a few of the additions to many kitchens. An old-fashioned living room is a feature of the past. Nowadays families assemble around the flat screen TV instead. Many garages allow for more than two cars and a complete laundry room is essential. Children are less likely to share a room as four bedrooms are becoming typical. Keep posted, Santa Barbara real estate is going to change with the times.
