Don’t let the gentrification of the main drag fool you: the town’s signature funkiness can still be found on the side streets.

Know where this was shot? Prove it in the comments. (Update: We have a winner!)
Designed for both entertaining and everyday living, 1285 E. Mountain Drive is a large, contemporary-style home on one acre of beautiful grounds, with sweeping ocean and island views. Come see for yourself at the open house this Saturday.
Noteworthy new listings also include resort-style living near Lotusland; a compound fit for a throuple; modest house on the West Mesa bluff; Carpinteria beachfront for $3.995 million; and more.
For all its small-town charm, Carpinteria has lacked a center, but no longer: Linden Square is open, and it feels great. The primary tenants are a murderer’s row of Santa Barbara restaurants: Bettina, Third Window, Corazón Cocina, and eventually, Dart Coffee Co.
