About 229 Poplar Ave
At 229 Poplar, you get the things that matter: a charming single-level home, a generous backyard, flexible bonus space, and a location that keeps the best parts of Santa Cruz nearby.
This two-bedroom, one-bathroom home is move-in ready, with two bonus rooms that offer plenty of flexibility for home offices, a studio, guest space, a playroom, a gym, or whatever fits your life. Three off-street parking spaces add everyday convenience, while the generous backyard gives you room for dinner with friends, a garden, kids at play, or simply the luxury of having your own private outdoor space.
And in Midtown, the location is one of the best parts. Arana Gulch, Seabright, the harbor, beaches, neighborhood restaurants, and everyday essentials are all within easy reach.
For anyone waiting for the opportunity to own a little piece of Santa Cruz, 229 Poplar might be exactly the place to start.
