Thinking of working remotely from Santa Cruz? Outsite creates accommodation for work, life and everything in between for people moving to Santa Cruz. Choose from a room or apartment in the centre of the city, and meet like-minded people.
Santa Cruz Coliving
Santa Cruz has a different rhythm than the rest of the Bay Area. It’s a place where you can start your day with a surf session, grab a coffee at a local roastery, and settle in for a productive afternoon, all without the rush of city life. The mix of beach culture, redwood forests, and a creative local scene makes it an ideal spot for remote workers who want a little more space to breathe.
Why Santa Cruz?
- No need to choose between nature and work, both are right outside your door.
- The local vibe is relaxed but creative, perfect for freelancers, entrepreneurs, and remote teams.
- Plenty of independent coffee shops and coworking spaces to switch up your routine.
- The ocean, the mountains, and great food - all within easy reach.
