Looking into schools for kindergarten and would love to know any experiences of the Goleta family school.

I like the alternative nature and the parent involvement but wondering about the curriculum

Looking for a studio or 1 bedroom or master bedroom with private bathroom under 2400$ in Goleta Summerland Carport. or Santa Barbara that is service dog friendly (dog: 14 yrs old and retired) for long term rental min 12months

Are there any nearby hiking trails that i could reasonably access by bus or bicycle?

I live near the Ellwood Mesa and am there most days but I'm looking for something up in the mountains with some elevation gain.

Browsing google maps I found the San Antonio Creek Trailhead, but everything else I'm finding looks like I would have to go up the 154 or west on the 101 to access.

Saw this lady at Java Station not long ago and this lady should be famous. Upvotes only thanks

Hi there!

I'm looking for an affordable in-home daycare for my 5 month old, starting in August. We live in Goleta, and I travel to Lompoc for work, so I'm hoping to find something in Goleta.

Does anyone have any recommendations? Google tends to take me to actual facilities, but I'm hoping for one in someone's home.

Thank you so much for any recommendations you provide. :)

Shattered my gf’s phone screen. Last phone screen replacement guy I went to off state st did a sh*te job, any recs for alternative?

Hey all, my wife is up at UCSB for the year to do research. Unfortunately my job doesn’t let me leave San Diego, so we are about 240 miles apart.

My wife’s birthday is right around the corner and I’d like to surprise them with a cake delivery (or something along those lines). I checked out DoorDash and wasn’t able to identify much available in the area. Is there a local cake or dessert shop in the area that delivers?

Thank you so much in advance.

My family and I absolutely love Goleta, there’s absolutely no place we’d rather be. Not even close.

That said, in my opinion, this city has been mismanaged in the past 15 years to a truly alarming extent. Yes it’s easy to be dissatisfied, but we have a footprint in several cities around the country, and the ineptitude in Goleta—leading to immensely disproportionate increases in congestion, etc has been remarkable.

Am alone in this perspective? There has to be a better way, for a city with so much to offer (and so much tax revenue), right?

Is Verizon cell service down for anyone else? My phone has said sos for the past hour or so.

I moved to Goleta near Lake Los Carneros in 2021. Since then, I have had 3 in person encounters with Coyotes. Once in the daytime, the other 2 at night. I hear them yapping often.

The daytime, I was walking around some of the dirt trails and came across a good-sized coyote who saw me, did not seem interested and trotted off.

Another time, I was on my way back from a run around 10 pm and saw 4 coyotes (they were small, at first, I thought they were foxes) crossing Covington back into the park area, again, they saw me but did not show interest.

Last night, I was coming back from another run around 10 pm, I was on La Patera near the Elementary school, and a fire truck left Fire Station 14, code 3 with sirens blaring. Right after the coyotes went crazy. Did anyone else here them?

This was taken on my smart watch, so the audio is not nearly as loud as it was last night, volume UP:

Again, the recording does not accurately depict how loud the howling was, it was VERY loud. I walked up to the edge of the park area, put my flashlight on high, and saw quite a few reflections coming off eyes.

A few weeks ago, night running down Los Carneros, I had several sets of reflective eyes on me from the avocado farm, but I do not know if those were coyotes, but they kind of follow me down the street until I got to the mosque, that freaked me out a bit.

Hi, anyone here done the lawn replacement rebate through the Goleta Water District? Seems like kind of a hassle to go through with maybe not that much reimbursement? We are planning to get rid of our lawn regardless but if the city wants to help pay, that would be nice!

When the parking lot is full where people go for beach access near the Bacara, are there other entry points or are you just shit out of luck??
