Zip code 95062 covers Santa Cruz’s eastside shoreline—Seabright, Twin Lakes, Live Oak, and Pleasure Point—where a mild marine layer keeps days temperate and the vibe is surfy and relaxed. Life centers on the harbor and beaches, with Walton Lighthouse views, Arana Gulch greenbelt, Moran Lake, and the East Cliff coastal path for easy walks, rides, and sunset surf checks. You’ll find a friendly mix of long‑time locals, students, and ocean‑minded professionals, and a notably pet‑friendly culture.

Expect a casual dining and coffee circuit along Soquel and Portola—Harbor Cafe, Seabright Social, La Posta, Cat & Cloud, and Verve—plus groceries at Whole Foods and Staff of Life; the 41st Avenue corridor adds surf shops, Toadal Fitness, and everyday stores. Recent Zillow market trends show a median asking rent around $3,400, with most 1–3 bedrooms roughly $2,500–$5,000 per month, depending on size and beach proximity. It’s easy to walk or bike, Highway 1 is close, and downtown is a quick hop.

Easy coastal access for swimming, sunbathing, and seaside relaxation.
