Amenities Near West Santa Cruz
When it comes to atmosphere, the west end of Santa Cruz is generally more laid-back and family oriented, while the east side is more upbeat. Both sides of the city, however, offer a range of different property styles and types for a variety of buyers.
One the top reasons people move to the Westside is the amenities, which includes everything from the university campus to some of the greatest surf spots around. The University of California Santa Cruz is situated on the hillside in the northern part of the community, though not all students live in the area; there is an extensive public transportation system that weaves throughout the entire city. Other schools include the following:
- Westlake Elementary School
- Bay View Elementary School
- Mission Hill Middle School
- Santa Cruz High School
Green spaces are a big part of city life, and the Westside has numerous parks to explore and enjoy. The biggest of these is Neary Lagoon Park, which is part wildlife refuge, and Harvey West Park, which is a major sports complex. Other parks include Westlake Park, University Terrace Park, Lighthouse Field State Beach, and the trails at Natural Bridges State Beach—which is also known for its annual Monarch butterfly migration.
West Santa Cruz is also home to the downtown area, which features the city's historic movie theater, local shops and boutiques, the library, the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History, countless restaurants, and more. The downtown, centered on Pacific Avenue, is also not too far away from Cowell Beach, the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, and the Wharf.
