Located at 316–324 Lincoln St in Santa Cruz, California, this efficiently designed one-bedroom, one-bathroom unit offers a thoughtful layout across a single floor. The interior features a consistent, modern aesthetic with light wood-look luxury vinyl flooring running throughout the main living areas and bedroom, complemented by neutral gray wall tones and crisp white baseboards. The living room serves as the central gathering space, offering a welcoming atmosphere with natural light filtering in through large windows that frame views of the surrounding neighborhood. The bedroom is a well-proportioned private retreat, also finished with the same wood-look flooring and a generously sized window that brings in ample daylight. A dedicated closet provides practical storage. The bathroom is cleanly appointed with a white vanity cabinet featuring a single undermount sink and stone-look countertop, a large mirror with overhead lighting, tile flooring, and a glass-door shower enclosure with tile surround — all combining to create a functional and polished space. Throughout the unit, the cohesive use of gray tones, updated fixtures, and durable flooring materials gives the space a refreshed, move-in-ready character. The overall layout maximizes efficiency while maintaining a comfortable and livable feel for its scale.

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.

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.
