About Scotts Valley
Scotts Valley is a city located in the northern part of
Santa Cruz County whose geography is unique in that it is only a six mile drive from the beaches of
Santa Cruz, and yet still enjoys majestic views of the redwood forests. Residents work hard to maintain the area’s sense of community and charm, and the city itself works hard to maintain its mark as a tourism destination and hub for business. Scotts Valley is home to companies like Seagate Technology and Sessions. It was also the original headquarters of Netflix. The city is home to one private school and Scotts Valley Unified School District provides options for public education. Scotts Valley is located off Highway 17 connecting it to Santa Cruz,
Monterey,
Los Gatos and
San Jose. Additionally, there are two redwood forest state parks nearby which bring visitors to the city year around. Search for Scotts Valley homes by its
