BLVD Moving Tips for Santa Cruz
Moving in Santa Cruz comes with its own set of challenges—traffic, parking, narrow streets, and busy schedules. But with the right planning, your move can be smooth and stress-free. Here are a few quick tips from the BLVD Moving team:
Plan Ahead
Santa Cruz is always on the move, and moving companies book up fast, especially at the end of the month or on weekends. We recommend scheduling your move at least 3–4 weeks in advance.
Reserve Parking in Advance
Parking in Santa Cruz can be tricky, especially in high-traffic neighborhoods or apartment complexes. If possible, arrange for a designated spot for the moving truck to save time and avoid extra hassle.
Declutter Before You Pack
The fewer items you move, the easier (and more affordable) your relocation will be. Take some time to sort through your belongings, donate what you no longer need, and lighten the load before moving day.
Label Your Boxes Clearly
Unpacking is significantly easier when boxes are clearly labeled by room and their contents. It also helps our movers know exactly where to place each box in your new home.
Plan Around Traffic
We all know traffic can be unpredictable. Our experienced team maps out the best routes and considers peak traffic hours to help avoid delays. Still, the earlier you start your move, the smoother the process tends to be.

Moving to Santa Cruz? Here’s What to Know
So, you’re thinking about packing up and heading to a new place? But before you load up the truck, let’s talk about what it’s really like to move to Santa Cruz.
Santa Cruz County’s population stands at approximately 270,000, making it one of the smaller coastal counties in Northern California—though it has grown slightly in recent years by about 0.2% annually. Nestled between redwood forests and the Pacific Ocean, the region blends natural beauty with a progressive, coastal vibe.
- Santa Cruz enjoys around 262 sunny days per year, offering a mild Mediterranean climate that draws outdoor enthusiasts and surfers alike.
- The average one-way commute time is about 27 minutes.
- Beyond English and Spanish, Santa Cruz reflects a diverse linguistic community: around 27% of householdsspeak a language other than English at home, with Spanish being the most common. Nearly 90% of residents are U.S. citizens.
Santa Cruz County’s economy is anchored by education, tourism, agriculture, and technology. The presence of UC Santa Cruz plays a major role in the local labor market, alongside coastal tourism and organic farming. Tech and remote work sectors are also expanding as Bay Area workers relocate.
- Median household income is approximately $96,000/year
- Major industries are education (UC Santa Cruz), tourism/hospitality, agriculture (berries, wine grapes), and tech services
- Emerging sectors include renewable energy, ocean sciences, and biotech startups, especially connected to university research.
- Unemployment is relatively low, averaging around 5% in 2024, with modest job growth projected through 2028.
Living costs in Santa Cruz County are significantly higher than the U.S. average and even above many California counties due to limited housing and coastal desirability. The cost of living index is around 156 (where 100 is U.S. average), making affordability a major concern for many residents.

- Homeownership rate is 3%
- Estimated median rent: likely in the range of $2,500–3,000/month, depending on proximity to the coast and downtown areas
- Property tax rate: roughly 7–0.8%, consistent with California norms
While Santa Cruz offers public transit through the Santa Cruz METRO system, many residents still rely on personal vehicles, especially in rural areas. Traffic into San Jose and Silicon Valley can be heavy for commuters.
- About 74%of residents commute solo
- Average one-way commute is around 27 minutes, with longer times for those heading over the hill
Santa Cruz County blends surf culture, eco-conscious living, and a strong local arts scene.
