I grew up in Santa Cruz in the 60s. Great memories! I specifically grew up in the Pasatiempo area. The golf course was my playground where the ravines are. We would catch salamanders, frogs big and small, and collect golf balls and sell them on the 13th hole. Used the golf club swimming pool everyday during summer vacations. Schools, from age 5-16 that I attended were: Bay View, Scotts Valley, Vine Hill, Soquel, and Harbor High in its first year.
What amazing memories! Pasatiempo is indeed dreamy! Our daughter went to Bayview and plays softball at the Harbor High field. Do you still live in the area?
@@shemeika_fox No. My dad got transferred to San Jose through job when I was a teenager, then transferred to Stockton after that. That is where I am now. Don't like it. I miss Santa Cruz!
Good stuff! I grew up in Santa Cruz and attended De Laveaga Elementary before my family moved to Montreal, Canada in 1987. The idea of working and living there has always called out to me, and after watching your video I am more inclined:)
That's awesome! My husband went to De Laveaga Elementary. Such a great school. And Montreal Canada. You sure have gotten to live in some seriously beautiful places! Santa Cruz though, is amazing. Even when we go on vacations, we always love coming home here! Would you like to hop on a call to chat about the real estate market? Are you really considering a move back here? HAppy to chat and or help~
@@shemeika_fox Nice! I attended De Laveaga from 1985-87 maybe he and I were classmates. I’ll be keeping a close eye on SC in 2021. I hope everyone in SC is staying safe, healthy and being smart :) Montréal is cool but too cold in my old age lol.
I visit for public use entry to caves. By open water or otherwise. I often arrive and depart without sharing my activity with social media, California residents, or other introductions. Because I choose not to welcome their residue. My Grade-5 cartography and survey notes are not made available for public use. Ditto, pics. I rely on assistance from other organized exploration. Look for me using scheduled public transportation. I can recommend fishing amid the city west side drainage system.
One of the less well known aspects of the Santa Cruz Westside is that decades ago children could hear a locomotive roll past under their city streets. Sometimes a manhole cover would be pushed up and slid aside so numerous filthy-looking men in what then was called boiler-suits would emerge into daylight. Their parents all demanded their children to avoid manholes if open or not. It once was common knowledge. As was a sea cave off West Cliff Drive. It is unique. In the back there is a doorway. For access to what the City Choo-Choo had been doing. On my last visit to that door I found it had been stolen and storm tidal surges had poured past. What swims under Westside Santa Cruz might be baited and hooked if city sportsmen utilize the street curbing gutter drains. I now reside the Salish Sea and don't need Santa Cruz Real Estate pimping what their city has to offer. Been there/ done that.
Love your video! FYI: The Natural Bridges State Beach lost its second “bridge” during the Loma Prieta Earthquake! Consider: not adding “Santa Cruz” after everything you introduce. Once we know that you’re introducing us to Santa Cruz, move on! Saying, The West Side is enough! We might say, “The Upper West Side,” but we certainly do not say “The Lower West Side.” Your footage is fantastic, your connection to the viewer is fabulous, Please make more videos! Maybe go to Swanton Berry Farm! Their berries are union grown! They have fabulous pies, jams, etc. Thanks for the tour!
I am watching your video as I miss being in and working in the area. I still own a house in the the SLV area but sadly had to move out of state. I moved the the area just before the big quake in '89 and moved on in 2017. My fun spots around SCruz is Habitat For Humanity Restore, Pizza My Heart on 41st, Mr Goodies, LuLu Carpenters, The Catalyst for live music and almost anything on Pacific Ave.
Hi there- So sorry you had to move out of the area. Where did you move? and at least you still have your home in SLV, if you ever want to come back!! I love all of those spots you mentioned! Hope you make it back to Santa Cruz some day!
@@shemeika_fox It was either move or lose the woman I love. We moved to Medford Oregon area but luckily out in the country. I don't recommend it to anyone who loves Santa Cruz though Grants Pass is fairly similar to SCruz.
Nice video but it’s interesting that you show the town of Capitola, east of Santa Cruz, while the voiceover is extolling the virtues of west Santa Cruz. Also, Aptos is not a part of Santa Cruz.
So did I. After hire by the Santa Cruz County County Jail. The Sheriff Department wanted an expertise in maximum slams and my other work with the criminal insane. Departed when I had hire in a County Jail off the Salish Sea. As $400 would buy four 80x100 foot wooded lots off a paved street and utilities were installed. With view of an 18 mile long glacier-fed lake.
You are going to love it here! Ocean street and the beach flats, near the boardwalk may not be the best place to move. Let me know if you have any other questions. Happy to help!
@@Jessicascleaningtips do you need it furnished? If so a vacation/ short term rental would probably be great, though that tends to be a more expensive option.. otherwise month to month; or a 9-12 month lease..
Hi Jaime- thanks for the inquiry. Rents range, depending on location, home size etc. feel free to give me a call at (831) 588-2334 to discuss your needs so I can help. Thanks
Great video! Cabrillo College in the house! Beautiful shots and very informative.
Thanks David!! Love Cabrillo!! Love the West Side of Santa Cruz!!
I walked over the natural bridge a million times 1967-8 as a student with UC also cabrillo for one class
I love that!!

Are you by any chance related to a Debbie Cox that's 69 yrs old who also went to Harbor High? If so, she was a schoolmate of mine.

@@nicp7938 Ha Ha totally. I am fair whether as well. It's possible. The years work. Danny Dunton is his name. Ring a bell?
@@shemeika_fox Can’t say it does, but it was a long time ago lol. I turned 40 this year maybe we are not the same age?
@@nicp7938 Oh yeah, he is a couple years older than you. ;)

True! Though Capitola and Aptos are part of Santa Cruz County, they are not the West Side..
thats the Capitola wharf, not the Delaveaga area at 1:08

How much is rent there
