The Westside of Santa Cruz refers to the portion of Santa Cruz located west of the San Lorenzo River. The Westside is home to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and Wharf, West Cliff Drive, Natural Bridges, Wilder Ranch State Park and UC Santa Cruz. Downtown Santa Cruz is a hot spot of the Westside, featuring trendy shops and dining.

Westside real estate includes a wide range of choices from luxurious ocean front homes to suburban style neighborhood homes, and condominiums. There are homes close to the coast, others near the energy of downtown and others offering a more country or mountain style experience.
