Our Essential Moving Tips for Santa Barbara
Here are a few essential tips from our BLVD Moving team to help make your Santa Barbara relocation simple:
-
Plan Around Street-Sweeping & Lot Timers:
Many downtown streets enforce strict street-sweeping and timed parking (75–90 min free). Make sure your movers know these rules or rental lots may debit fines during loading/unloading.
-
Protect Against Coastal Moisture on Belongings:
Ocean fog and salty air can affect furniture, electronics, and textiles. Use sealed, protective packaging and wrap metal items to prevent corrosion, essential in beach-adjacent homes.
-
Pack Smart and Label Everything:
Clearly labeling your boxes by room and contents saves time when unloading and unpacking. It's especially helpful in busy neighborhoods like Santa Barbara, where space is limited.
-
Schedule Your Move During Off-Peak Hours:
Whenever possible, plan your move for early in the day or midweek to avoid heavy traffic and busy foot traffic in the area. This helps ensure a faster, more efficient move.
-
Trust Experienced Local Movers:
Santa Barbara has its unique rhythm, and working with movers who are familiar with the area makes a significant difference. We have the experience to navigate the neighborhood safely and efficiently.
Moving to Santa Barbara? Here’s What to Know
Thinking about making Santa Barbara your new home? You’re not alone. But before you roll up with your moving truck, here’s what you should know about life in Santa Barbara.
A Neighborhood in Transition
Santa Barbara, a coastal city with rich Spanish-Colonial heritage, is home to approximately 88,665 residents. The community is about 51.8% White (including non-Hispanic), 38.7% Hispanic of any race, 3.8% Asian, 3.8% multiracial, 1.3% Black, and 1.3% Native American or Pacific Islander.
Cost of Living
Santa Barbara is notably expensive, roughly 80% above the national average, fueled largely by high housing costs:
- Average rent for a 1-bedroom apartment is approximately $2,260 per month
- Median home price is approximately $2,140,000
- Walk Score is 61

Getting Around
Santa Barbara’s downtown, State Street, and waterfront zones are walkable, but most errands require a car. Bike-friendliness is moderate, though less so in hillside neighborhoods. U.S. 101 traffic peaks during commute times and special events. Public transit (MTD buses) covers key corridors, but schedules remain limited.
Community Vibes
Santa Barbara blends upscale beachfront living with strong community traditions. It hosts annual events like Old Spanish Days (Fiesta), the Seafood Festival, and ArtWalk. Historic architecture, family-operated eateries, and a vibrant arts scene give it both elegance and hometown warmth.
