| 4BR/2.0BA | 4 bed | 2 bath | $4,200 /mo | 1 unit available | This 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is located right on California Street — just minutes from everything, and packed with personality. It’s not a luxury home, but it’s got charm, space, and all the essentials for comfortable student living. Think: an old-school Santa Cruz vibe, a cute bonus loft tucked upstairs — accessible via a spiral staircase (a favorite hangout spot for past tenants). It's a great setup for a group of people looking for a functional, well-located place to call home. The layout includes four full bedrooms, two bathrooms, a shared kitchen with updated countertops, and a cozy common area. There’s shared laundry on-site (not in-unit). Sorry no parking but you’ll be walking distance to pretty much everything: about 15 minutes to the beach, 9 minutes to the UCSC bus stop, and 15 minutes to downtown Santa Cruz. Grab groceries, coffee, or a burrito all within a few blocks. This is a school term lease. Utilities are not included. Co-signers and guarantors are accepted. If you’re looking for a chill, centrally located house with character — and don’t mind a few quirks — this might be the spot for you. Message now to schedule a tour or get more info! |
