Mission Canyon History

Ethel Barrymore, the late empress of stage and screen, once told a friend, "Fortunate indeed is the person who can live in Santa Barbara, and doubly blessed if his home is located in Mission Canyon."

Throughout the 1920's and 1930's Miss Barrymore so zealously guarded her hideaway in Mission Canyon that despite their best efforts, brothers Lionel and John were never able to find it.  (Its location is a secret today.)

Mission Canyon, which with the Old Mission complex and the area bounded on the south by Mission Street, make up Santa Barbara's "Mission district", is unique.  No residential neighborhood in the city boasts a richer historical background, or offers more relics and landmarks of old Spanish days.

Prices Range from $850,000 - $5,000,000
