Santa Barbara is a charming, beautifully manicured gated community comprised of 241 single family homes in Central Boca Raton, Florida. Many of Boca Raton's finest shops and restaurants including the fabulous Town Center Mall are in close proximity to the community. The property is situated just a short distance from entrances to Interstate 95 and Florida's Turnpike.

The style and colors of all of Santa Barbara's homes, and the landscaping of its walled streets and enclaves are indeed a reflection of the developer's taste. His desire to maintain the Santa Barbara California ambiance are imbedded in the language of Santa Barbara's governing documents. The Epicenter of Santa Barbara is the magnificent clubhouse area which includes fitness center, banquet room, kitchen, lounge: library/poker table and billiard room, card room, media room, pool and terrace, and tennis complex.

Santa Barbara was originally owned and platted by the Arvida group, developers of most of the upscale properties in Palm Beach County. In January of 1990, Arvida assigned and sold development rights to Ahmanson Developments, Inc., an Orange County, California corporation, owned by H.F. Ahmanson & Co., a California savings and loan company.

Construction of Santa Barbara started in 1991 and was finished in 1996. The developer through its agent, Marlex Housing, built all 241 homes, the lovely clubhouse and pool area, and tennis complex.
