Summerland, CA Real Estate

Real estate in Summerland, CA ranges from older, well-established houses nearer the shore to newer developments along the high ground. The town was founded in 1889 by Harry L. Williams, a rancher with an interest in spirits and the supernatural. He was soon joined by other like-minded individuals and the town sprang up around his famous Big Yellow House, which has become a local landmark and a sign of Summerland, CA's unique past.

Today, Summerland, CA retains its supernatural atmosphere, as well as the colorful nickname "Spookville." A number of antique shops in its business district cater to that romantic history, as well as fine restaurants and other establishments within its confines. Oil fields once dotted the area, but with the movement off shore, the real estate market became much friendlier to residents interested in a warm and pleasant atmosphere.
