About the listings on this page

Listings on this page are Santa Cruz County listings first listed, or first recorded by RentReboot, in the past 15 days, newest first and up to 20 per apartment size, from marketplaces, brokerages and landlord or building websites. Rooms in shared apartments and short-term rentals are not always labeled, and an apartment may already be rented, so confirm the price, lease term and availability with the listing contact before you apply or pay a fee. The interactive view on this page loads them with a map.
