Why Live in Santa Cruz Gardens

Santa Cruz Gardens is a midcentury subdivision nestled in woodland scenery just north of Santa Cruz and Capitola. The neighborhood is known for its ranch-style homes from the 1960s, with some newer contemporary designs, and features sidewalks, manicured lawns, and lush landscaping. Santa Cruz Gardens Elementary School, New Brighton Middle School, and Harbor High School are highly rated, making the area attractive to families. The neighborhood has low traffic, contributing to its safer-than-average crime rate.

The closest beaches, Seabright Beach, Capitola, and Twin Lakes, are about 3 miles south.
