We have good schools, and impressively low crime rate, nice houses and safe, well-kept neighborhoods, and jobs in and around Soquel so no one is unemployed unless it's by choice.

We also have some other fun things to do around here.

This is a place where there really is something for everyone. I really enjoy living here. Read Less
