Santa Barbara County MF Debuts

Irvine-based MBK Rental Living opened Azure, a luxury garden-style apartment community in Santa Maria. The new Santa Barbara County lifestyle rental community is comprised of 318 studio and one-, two-, and three-bedroom residences at the 14.5-acre site at 703 E. Meehan St.

MBK Rental Living’s Craig Jones says, “Azure combines rustic style with modern sophistication while providing residents a long list of lifestyle comforts including options for roomy interiors for working from home and extensive, amenity-rich outdoor spaces.”

The Central Coast community has open floor plans with vaulted ceilings, wood-style flooring, wall-controlled ceiling fans, gas ranges, stainless-steel appliances, as well as technology-ready pre-wired spaces, and covered patios with storage rooms.

Amenities include a modern farmhouse-style clubhouse with entertainment kitchen, two resort-style swimming pools surrounded by covered cabanas and firepits, two spas, an outdoor ping pong table, horseshoe pit, traditional and Santa Maria-style barbeque grills, a 24-hour fitness center, futsal sports court, bocce ball court, two playgrounds, dog park and pet spa, and a business center.
