Welcome to Santa Cruz - The East Side

 
Generally referred to as Live Oak or the East Side, it spans from the Santa Cruz Harbor all the way to Pleasure Point. With world-class surfing, Jack O’Neals original home, The famed Crows Nest restaurant. Along its coastal section, you will find a booming renovation market in the Pleasure Point and Avenue area due to its vibrant surf culture and those wanting to partake in the burgeoning health-oriented beach life lifestyle. This area has roughly 30,000 residents and is one of the most diversified areas in the county, Live Oak has no downtown center, per see.
 
However, 17th Avenue between Highway 1 and East Cliff Drive is its heart. Here you can find the Santa Cruz Live Oak Grange Hall, the Fire Department, a Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Department, the Family Swim Center, and the majority of Live Oak's business establishments. It’s also a place of great opportunity. Its patchwork of trailer parks, ranch-style houses, townhome condominium complexes, and single-family homes in cul-de-sacs can still be found for far less than most other neighborhoods in the county. Except for those homes along the water which are among some of the most expensive in the county.
