WALK WITH ME
The holiday break was the perfect time to explore the East Campus of Santa Barbara City College: no crowds, big views, lots to gawk at.

HOT PROPERTY
Last week’s sales: Ennisbrook hacienda yet again; the neat Bungalow Haven compound; Eucalyptus Hill Mediterranean for $1.4 million off the initial asking price; 1970s Hope Ranch four-bedroom in a flash; patchy Hedgerow spec reno; Lower Village house with plans to expand; Bel Air Knolls fixer for $655,000 over ask; and more. See what sold—and for how much.
