Why Live in Santa Cruz

Santa Cruz combines world-class surfing at Steamer Lane with the historic Beach Boardwalk amusement park along its stunning coastline. Nature lovers will find monarch butterflies migrating through Natural Bridges State Park and ancient redwoods towering in Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. The Santa Cruz Wharf extends into Monterey Bay where sea lions bask in the sun, while downtown Pacific Avenue buzzes with local shops and street performers. The University of California Santa Cruz campus sits nestled among redwood forests, contributing to the city's educational atmosphere.
