In regards to the setup of Santa Barbara homes , times are changing. It is likely that the most significant difference since the 1970s is the amount of square footage. The average new home has spread to 2,400 square feet, up from 1,600 square feet in 1973. Today, homes have at the very least two bathrooms when they used to have less than two.

From a mere 9x10 to a massive 285 square feet, kitchens have experienced a jump in size also. Islands, breakfast bars, and nooks are a few of the additions to a lot of kitchens. An old-fashioned living room is a characteristic of the past. The flat screen TV is what families assemble around today. A complete laundry room is a must and most garages allow for more than two cars. As four bedrooms are becomming standard, children are less likely to share a room. Keep posted, Santa Barbara real estate is continuing to adjust to the times.
