About This Home

Rare UCSC-area investment opportunity in one of Santa Cruz's strongest rental markets. Ideally located steps from the UCSC bus line, this professionally managed, fully occupied fourplex is well suited for UCSC students, faculty, and staff. Residents enjoy easy access to campus, Downtown Santa Cruz, West Cliff Drive, and the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, all just 1.5 miles from the ocean. The property features 4 spacious 2-bedroom, 1-bath units, each approximately 950 square feet, totaling 8 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms across approximately 3,800 square feet. Floor plans may offer potential for conversion to 3-bedroom configurations for increased income. Comparable 3-bedroom rentals near UCSC may command approximately $4,500-$5,500 per month. Buyer to verify feasibility. Amenities include on-site laundry, separate gas meters, 2 carports, 4 additional off-street parking spaces, and abundant street parking. New water heaters were installed in 2025. The property offers strong rental history, stable cash flow, and generates approximately $186,000 in annual gross income. Potential DSCR financing available.
