Bookended between Downtown Santa Cruz and Seabright, Riverwalk is one of the city’s most popular neighborhoods. The neighborhood is best known for being home to Santa Cruz Riverwalk Park, a 2.5-mile natural area with hiking and biking trails, exercise equipment, and views of the San Lorenzo River. Santa Cruz Riverwalk Park also encompasses several smaller neighborhood parks like San Lorenzo Park, where many food and drink festivals are held. Riverwalk houses many hotels, restaurants, government offices, medical offices, and a few retail shops. Residents also have access to an abundance of amenities in Downtown Santa Cruz and Seabright. Riverwalk is less than 10 minutes away from several beaches including Cowell Beach, Seabright State Beach, and the Santa Cruz Boardwalk as well. Great for students and faculty, the neighborhood is also convenient to the University of California Santa Cruz. Similar to many tourist-driven cities in California, Riverwalk offers rentals that lean more towards the expensive side but the advantages are worth the price tag.
