When dealing with the look of Santa Barbara homes , times are changing. Perhaps the biggest change since the 1970s is the amount of square footage. In 1973, the average home was 1,600 square feet, a new home today has expanded to 2,400. Today, homes have at least two bathrooms when they used to have less than two.

Kitchens have seen an increase as well, from a mere 9x10, to an enormous 285 square feet. Islands, breakfast bars, and nooks are a few of the additions to several kitchens. An old-fashioned living room is a characteristic of the past. Families today assemble around the flat screen TV instead. A complete laundry room is a must and many garages hold more than two cars. Children are less likely to share a room as four bedrooms are becoming typical. Keep posted, Santa Barbara real estate is continuing to adjust to the times.
