Neighborhood

From the majestic wonder of Natural Bridges State Beach to the spectacular and historic Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, Santa Cruz is a California gem. Just beyond the beach dotted with palm trees, mountains form an impressive backdrop. But it isn't just pretty to look at -- Santa Cruz offers fun and adventure, from surfing and swimming at the beach to hiking in a coastal redwood forest.

Santa Cruz is located on the north side of Monterey Bay. It is home to the University of California - Santa Cruz, a top-ranking research university that overlooks the ocean. Known as "Surf City," you'll want to bring your surf board to your new Santa Cruz apartment -- along with your sun screen and flip flops.

Downtown Santa Cruz is more than spectacular beaches and gorgeous parks. There are more than 100 shops in downtown, dozens of amazing restaurants, the Santa Cruz Farmers Market, terrific nightlife, and exciting festivals and events.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
