~ Goleta is home to UCSB and 3 of the best public schools in all of Santa Barbara. Which makes Goleta an easy choice if you are raising a family and want easy access to most of the after school activities. There are three economic centers in Goleta that host superior grocery stores, restaurants, & movie theaters. Old Town is becoming a bit of a funk zone with breweries and retro bars amidst an urban environment. Great beaches are also a highlight of Goleta.~
