Neighborhood

Eastside Santa Cruz offers all of the California charm you could want in a waterfront locale, Situated just east of the San Lorenzo River and bounded by State Route 1 and the Pacific ocean. Parks, restaurants, coffee spots, and bars galore call Eastside home. The area isn’t exactly pedestrian friendly considering the lack of sidewalks, but it’s not out of the realm of possibility to walk to attractions on Capitola Road. Eastside Santa Cruz provides a quieter suburban setting for those looking to rent in this Pacific Coast city.

Streets are lined with single-story homes and apartments in a variety of architectural styles. Eastside enjoys some of the influence of the University of California Santa Cruz campus, like its nightlife and dining geared towards students. The world-famous Santa Cruz boardwalk is within walking distance of the neighborhood, as is a selection of beaches and cool hangout spots, making this area a prime spot for residents and visitors alike.
