Neighborhood

Central Santa Cruz is nestled between the redwood forests of the north and the beach town vibes to the south. Technically Central Santa Cruz begins just north of the Cabrillo Highway and extends up towards Camp Evers. This quiet section of Santa Cruz is comprised mostly of meandering hills and forests, but the areas closest to the highway offer stunning rentals, some with views that just peek over the hills to the ocean. Residents enjoy the stunning surroundings of course, but there are engaging hiking trails as well. Just south and closer to Downtown Santa Cruz is where you’ll find organic grocers, incredible open-air restaurants, and the general coolness of this laid-back beach locale. With the San Jose only 30 miles to the north and the University of California Santa Cruz close as well, living in Central Santa Cruz allows you to be right in the middle of a beach town without having to give up the convenience of having a big city close by.

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.
