Montecito Heights is home to the Heritage Square Museum, a time capsule of perfectly preserved late Victorian Carpenter Gothic Eastlake style homes transplanted to the banks of the Arroyo Seco. It is also home to the historic Lummis House, once the residence of author, historian, poet and editor of the then fledgling Los Angeles Times, with boulders pulled straight from the Arroyo Seco. The “heights” in “Montecito Heights” are the low, rolling Monterey Hills, which encompasses the Ernest E. Debs Regional Park, more often known, simply “Debs Park,” and gives Montecito a sorta-suburban-semi-rural-wilderness that is somehow quintessentially LA.
