Santa Cruz County · The village, the Esplanade and the cliffs
Capitola, Santa Cruz County
A beach village at the mouth of Soquel Creek, small enough to walk end to end and one of our top three communities.
Living in Capitola
The village, the Esplanade and the cliffs.
The village centers on the Esplanade, the wharf and the colorful Venetian Court on the sand. Depot Hill rises above the beach to the east, the Jewel Box neighborhood runs toward Pleasure Point, and the shops and services of 41st Avenue sit a few minutes inland.
The homes
Village cottages, bluff-top homes on Depot Hill with views across the bay, established single-family streets inland and a good supply of condos. Homes within walking distance of the village are the most sought after and the most rarely offered.
