Santa Cruz Real Estate Options

And Santa Cruz homes are just as diverse; starting from cozy condos to multi-million dollar custom built homes with priceless ocean views. With the resources provided to you here you will have some local knowledge to help you make decisions regarding Santa Cruz real estate.

Many residents from Santa Cruz like to live in this area because of the close commute over the Santa Cruz Mountains to the famous Silicon Valley. A thirty-minute drive from the heart of Santa Cruz, the Silicon Valley provides millions of high-tech jobs at the many thousands of high-tech headquarters located there. The Silicon Valley is an amazingly cutting edge place to work but many people like to come home to Santa Cruz because of its more laid back beach lifestyle and weather, excellent small town restaurants and of course the famous Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.

Perfect Santa Cruz Weather

Santa Cruz County has been rumored to have up to 40 micro-climates and as locals we are under the impression that this rumor may have some validity. For the most part Santa Cruz has wonderfully mild weather, with sunny warm days in the summer and mildly cool winter days. The proximity to the Monterey Bay brings with it some summer fog but is only experienced on early summer mornings very close to the beaches. Speaking of the beaches Santa Cruz competes with a few California coastal locations for the best surf. The famous Steamer’s Lane is a local surfer’s dream swell on a good day and there are plenty of other surfing hot spots for all levels of surfers along this poignant stretch of coastline.
