Quiet neighborhood centrally located in Pompano Beach

In Pompano Beach, the neighborhood of Santa Barbara Estates sits between the Intracoastal Waterway, the Santa Barbara Lake and two major roads, East Atlantic Boulevard and Federal Highway. “The close to proximity to the water is the big draw,” says Rafael Monterrey, who has been the team leader for the Monterrey Group for 40 years. “Lake Santa Barbara is a very pretty lake, and the beach is really close.” Residents can walk to the beach and fishing pier, although water access isn’t limited to the beach due to the Intracoastal Waterway and Lake Santa Barbara acting as the eastern and southern border for the neighborhood respectively. The Pompano Beach Fisher Family Pier can be a popular tourist spot with free fishing spots, and rods available for rent, along the pier.

Ranch homes within and mansions on the water

The area is filled with ranch homes and Mediterranean-style mansions on the water. For homes on the water, prices often range over $1 million, with a few reaching over $5 million. These homes may include privacy fences and wine cellars. “There’s no HOA, which is pretty uncommon for the area,” says Monterrey. “It is a bit of an older neighborhood.” Homes on the inside of the neighborhood tend to be ranch homes, beginning around $500,000 for two bedrooms and reaching $900,000 for three bedrooms. They may also be colorful pastels, reminiscent of most Florida styles, although brick and shiplap siding can also be found throughout. Stucco roofs are a common sight, with palm trees scattered along the roads and yards. Homes sit close together, with shrubs or bushes acting as natural fences if none are already lining the backyards. Additionally, most homes have a pool, including those on the water.

Pocket park and renovations for botanical garden

The pocket park Lake Santa Barbara Park is only about .2 acres but has a few benches on the waterfront. McNab Park is currently undergoing renovations to include a botanical garden featuring native Florida plants and the McNab house, originally built in 1924 and moved to its current location in 2020. For now, the 2.5-acre park has greenspace, a playground and tennis courts for the sporty. Residents can also spend a quiet afternoon in the Pompano Beach Cemetery located in the center of the neighborhood.

Walking to Pompano Beach
