Wonderful Small Town
-

Scotts Valley is an ideal, small town with many wonderful features. It's just 10 minutes from the beaches in nearby Santa Cruz yet doesn't get the wet fog because it's in a valley. The sun shines most days and if it is foggy, it burns off quickly. With just about 11,000 people living in Scotts Valley, it is large enough to have several good restaurants, a couple major grocery stores, a terrific library and a recently renovated movie theater. Plus, it's close to a couple state parks and glorious redwood trees (the tallest on the planet). Finally, the area is crowded with top wineries and the Chamber of Commerce hosts a fabulous Art and Wine Festival every August. The schools are reported to be some of the best - though I don't have school-aged children. Housing can be a little high but you're in this beautiful town and values will increase quickly.
