Watsonville

Watsonville is the hub of the south county area. Originally a small multi-ethnic home to farmers, ranchers and those who prefer the tranquility of rural living, Watsonville has witnessed tremendous growth in the past several years. Many new developments and large shopping centers have lured buyers into this beautiful agricultural valley. Watsonville offers its residents a higher quality of life and a lower cost of living. It has not lost its charm, however; historic Victorian homes and late 1880s storefronts line Main street while the surrounding areas are a mix of modest housing and country homes.

Between Watsonville and Santa Cruz are a number of truly unique pocket communities. Such as the private condominiums on the sand at Pajaro Dunes. The sleepy coastal neighborhood of La Selva Beach. And Corralitos with its scenic apple orchards and ranches tucked into the foothills.
