Few residential neighborhoods of Santa Barbara can boast the rich historical background of the San Roque and Rutherford Park areas. The neighborhood got its name when the first white men arrived in 1769 with Governor Potola. They camped at the mouth of the San Roque Creek, which they named to memorialize the patron saint of invalids, Saint Roque, a Carmelite friar of the 14th century.

Now built-up, it is admired for its sweeping curved street, its luxuriant landscaping, and its harmonious blend of many architectural themes - Spanish Colonial, English Tudor, French Normandy, California Redwood, ltalianate and American Colonial, mostly built since 1925.

With shopping and banking facilitated at their very doorstep, residents of San Roque feel they are living in one of Santa Barbara's choicest residential neighborhoods, where investing in home or business property guarantees future security.

Prices range from $1,000,000 to $3,000,000
