About this House

What's unique:Original spanish-style fourplexTimeless spanish charmHistoric architectureFour one-bedroom one-bath units
Timeless Spanish Charm in the Heart of Rio del Mar Beach.

A rare opportunity to own one of the original Spanish-style fourplexes in sought-after Rio del Mar Beach. Built in 1932, this property reflects the architectural heritage of California's coastal communities while offering the stability of an exceptional investment. Situated on a single parcel moments from the sand, the fourplex features four one-bedroom, one-bath units a desirable mix that attracts tenants and strong rental demand in one of Santa Cruz's most coveted beachside neighborhoods. Units are separately metered. Recent improvements include a remodeled kitchen in Unit 1 and new paint and flooring in Unit 4. Residents enjoy an effortless coastal lifestyle steps from the beach, with Cabrillo College minutes away, Nisene Marks nearby for hiking and biking, and the shops and charm of Aptos Village close at hand. With multifamily development extremely limited and coastal properties increasingly hard to acquire, opportunities like this are rare historic architecture, a prime location, and lasting appreciation in one legacy asset. Ideal for expanding a portfolio, completing a 1031 exchange, or securing a trophy coastal asset this iconic fourplex is a true opportunity to own a piece of Santa Cruz County history.

    "The Aptos neighborhood is unique for its blend of redwood forests, coastal access, and small-town feel, with local farms, beaches, and a relaxed, outdoors-focused lifestyle all within a tight-knit community"
  • SeascapeCruzen
    "Lots of great local events at seascape village and the resort. Kids that attend the elementary school go to many events such as movie night and fairs. Summer time we have live music at the resort every Sunday. "

    "Close to beaches and Capitol Village. A beautiful redwood forest state park called Niceness Marks. "
  • Casey Meyer
    "Aptos is nice. Very quiet and peaceful. Very safe. Nice natural grocery stores near by. A couple of nice restaurants. Weather during the rainy season can lead to extended power outages and road closures luckily that is only a few times a year. "
  • Jack M.
    "I use the Highway which is close to my neighborhood. Outside of that, the county bus system is the only public transit. The commute traffic is bad. Aptos is bikeable around the highway but there are many tight roads and can be hilly. "

  • Mirandas_mail
    "The area is beautiful and prolific for plants. Neighbors are friendly, there’s easy access to Monterey, Carmel and Big Sur. Nearby development has been blossoming with new businesses opening. Quick access to the beach and close proximity to Niscene Marks make this the perfect combo of ocean meets forest. "
  • Jason95052
    "No homeless people out robbing and breaking into cars like in santa cruz. Aptos is a shield from them and thats why i moved here. Sherifs actually respond to illegal activity vs the sc police having you fill out an online form and nothing ever happens..."

  • Cegerrish
    "I have lived in this neighborhood above the beach for 40 years. We have beach going tourists, but generally no problems. People are friendly. Mostly a neighborhood of vacation homes."
  • Thomas M.
    "I have lived in this neighborhood 15 years and it’s been great. The large pine trees that still remain in Rio Del Mar are because of Mr Spreckels and that this land was his private hunting ground. He preserved the land as best as he could for future generations."
