Why Live in Twin Lakes

Twin Lakes in Santa Cruz is a coastal neighborhood known for its scenic beachfront walks and the gentle hum of yachts on the Pacific. While it shares the allure of a Santa Cruz vacation spot, it remains quieter than nearby Capitola and Pleasure Point. East Cliff Drive offers a picturesque route along Twin Lakes State Beach, ideal for leisurely drives or bike rides. This beach, a mile long, is a favorite for swimming and surfing, while Schwan’s Lake attracts birdwatchers with its diverse avian population. The Simpkins Family Swim Center provides outdoor aquatic activities, and the Santa Cruz Harbor is perfect for sailing enthusiasts. Dining options include The Crow’s Nest, Java Junction, Café El Palomar, Lago di Como, and Aloha Island Grille. For groceries, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, and Safeway are within a 3-mile drive. Housing in Twin Lakes ranges from mid-1900s cottages and Craftsman homes to newer two-story beach houses, with mobile home parks offering more affordable options. Schools like Shoreline Middle School and Soquel High School are highly rated, with Soquel High boasting a strong college attendance rate. The neighborhood is conveniently located 2 miles from State Routes 1 and 17, providing easy access to coastal destinations and Silicon Valley. However, its oceanfront position increases the risk of flooding and severe storms, as seen in recent years.
