    "I lived in this neighborhood for four years in my early twenties. I loved the access to the beach and the mountains, lots of students around but I never had any issues with partying in this area. It's expensive, but the overall feel of Santa Cruz cannot be beat for those who love the beach and laid back lifestyle. "

    "It's a bit of a drive into Lompico Canyon, but a beautiful one, especially in the fall when all the maple trees that line the creek turn gold. We enjoy living here because it is very private feeling, yet the neighborhoods have a friendly vibe. "

    "The neighbors are friendly and there are a lot of kids and dogs in the area. We can walk to any where in Felton within minutes which includes groceries, restaurants, coffee shops, entertainment etc. We have Roaring Camp and Henrey Cowell Redwoods State Park in our back yard. We are 6 miles from the ocean and we have UCSC, SLV High School and even a Montessori School in our own neighborhood. Whats not to like??? "

    "e zayante road is terrible for traffic; we've had one dog run over and killed by a speeding driver, half the road has been washed out for more than a year. There are no sidewalks or bike lanes.Without a motor vehicle you're stuck. Some areas have several winter months with no sunshine whatsoever."
