Santa Cruz County Property Types and Features

  • The most common types of houses in Santa Cruz County are single-family homes, townhouses, and condominiums.

  • The average home size in Santa Cruz County is approximately 1,800 square feet. This size reflects the typical single-family home in the area, balancing the region’s coastal lifestyle with the demand for space.

  • In Santa Cruz County, a common zoning issue is the presence of strict coastal development regulations due to the California Coastal Act, which can limit property modifications and new constructions near the coastline. This can affect property owners by restricting their ability to expand or renovate their homes, potentially leading to disputes over property rights and land use.

  • In Santa Cruz County, more people are homeowners than renters. The area is more known for homeownership due to its suburban and coastal appeal, although high property values can make renting a common choice for some residents.
