Currently operating as premium student housing, Arroyo House serves students from SBCC, UCSB, and Westmont College. This exceptional property features 10 fully furnished rooms with 26 total beds, currently configured as (3) Doubles, (5) Triples, (1) Quad, and (1) Single. Each unit has been tastefully upgraded with high-end furniture and modern finishes, offering a comfortable and stylish living environment.... Outdoor amenities include new landscaping, a volleyball court, and ample private parking -- enhancing both tenant experience and long-term value.

The property has seen approximately 60,000 in capital improvements since July 2025, including a brand-new sewage tank with high-capacity ejection pumps. This upgrade is expected to extend pump life from roughly 2 years to 8-10 years, eliminating what had historically been the property's most recurring maintenance burden.
