Why Live in Lower Ocean

Lower Ocean in Santa Cruz is a sunny residential neighborhood characterized by palm trees and lush landscaping. Located just minutes from the bustling beachfront and colorful downtown district, it offers a more affordable living option compared to nearby areas like Seabright. The neighborhood is primarily residential, featuring early to mid-20th century bungalows, cottages, and Victorian homes. Architectural styles include Craftsman with exposed beams and wide front porches, and Mediterranean Revival with red-tiled rooftops and stucco facades. Lower Ocean is within walking distance to downtown Santa Cruz, which is home to a variety of eateries, bars, and attractions such as the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History and the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, California’s oldest amusement park. Local dining options include Los Primos Taqueria and Los Viejones Taco Truck. The neighborhood is bordered by the Santa Cruz Riverwalk, a 2.5-mile pedestrian and bike path that connects the beach to downtown, and features parks like Riverside Gardens and Mike Fox Skate Park. Lower Ocean is a few blocks from Santa Cruz Beach, a well-known surfing hotspot. The area is served by Branciforte Middle School and Harbor High School, both of which have high ratings. However, the neighborhood is in a flood plain due to its proximity to the San Lorenzo River, necessitating flood insurance for many homes. Lower Ocean is conveniently located about a mile from State Route 1 and 2 miles from State Route 17, with several Santa Cruz Metro bus lines available for public transit.
