About This Home

As of May 2025

Townhouse style condo with 2bd/1bth upstairs. Great investment or 1st time buyers sweat equity opportunity, as remodeling needed. 4-units share laundry. Shared 2-car garage with private storage. Generous green spaces create nice buffers throughout while providing outdoor visitation areas among neighbors. Casitas Village Community offers nice amenities: Clear blue pool with spacious lounging deck, a basketball court, sand volleyball court, & a fenced playground. Monte Vista Park is just a frisbee throw away with a multi-sport field (think soccer!), large playground & picnic area. Just blocks to the Carpinteria Bluffs Nature Preserve for wonderful trails, trees & sunset watching. Carpinteria is a beautiful beach town just south of Santa Barbara, & approximately 85 miles North of Los Angeles
