"Strip malls and Republicans on the outskirts of Santa Cruz"
Run don't walk away from Scotts Valley and toward the ocean for some free-thinking and progressive values. These people would sell the whole forest for a buck.
Pros
- Close to Santa Cruz
Cons
- Republican
- No character
- mobile homes, condos and tract homes.

"Beautiful town in the Santa Cruz Mountains"
Scotts Valley is a cool town for many reasons - any place that is built around the coastal redwoods is going to be unique and scenic. The proximity to Santa Cruz makes it a great home base for anyone who is interested in the Northern California beach life without the "alternative" culture of Santa Cruz.
This suburb doesn't have a booming nightlife, but it does have its fair share of unique restaurants, making it a good place for people both young and old - although the price tag makes it prohibitive for much of the population.
