With its proximity to highway 17, set between Santa Cruz and Los Gatos/San Jose, Scotts Valley is a wonderful location for commuters. Families will love spending time at Skypark, which features a play structure, skate park and pump track, dog parks and soccer fields. Down the street, a new mixed-use development space is being built, complete with housing, restaurants & shopping! Plus, the Saturday farmers market is a favorite spot for locals.

If you like to spend time outdoors, make sure to explore the Glenwood Preserve Open Space. With three miles of walking and biking trails, this is the ultimate spot for being active and taking advantage of the amazing weather we enjoy year round. For summertime fun, the Fourth of July fireworks show can’t be missed! Plus, Scotts Valley boasts its own Art, Wine & Beer Festival, with great local art, yummy food and drink, and live music!
