Inquire NowA Live Oak Duplex, Built to Work Two Ways
2272 and 2274 Woolpert Way is a side-by-side duplex on a 6,839 square foot lot in Santa Cruz's Live Oak neighborhood, minutes from Twin Lakes and Seabright beaches. Built in 1969, the property carries two separate 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom units, each right around 850 square feet, giving a buyer real flexibility: live in one unit and rent the other, house family on the same lot, or hold both as income units.
Each side has its own kitchen, living area, two bedrooms and a bathroom, so the units function independently while sharing one address on the map. For an owner-occupant, that means built-in rental income from day one. For an investor, it means two units of Santa Cruz rental demand under one roof and one insurance policy.
Location does a lot of the work here. Twin Lakes State Beach, Simpkins Family Swim Center, and the Live Oak Sunday farmer's market are all close by, with Highway 1 and Highway 17 within easy reach for commuters heading toward Capitola, downtown Santa Cruz, or over the hill.

The Story
Two Units, One Lot
2272 and 2274 Woolpert Way sit side by side on a single 6,839 square foot parcel, each with its own address, entrance, and living space. It's the kind of layout that works for an owner who wants a mortgage helper, a family that wants two households close together, or an investor who wants two rents from one purchase.
Kitchen & Living Space
Each unit has its own kitchen and living area, sized to match its roughly 850 square foot footprint.
Bedrooms & Bath
Both units carry the same layout: two bedrooms and one bathroom, for four bedrooms and two bathrooms across the property in total. That symmetry makes it straightforward to compare rents, manage maintenance, or simply keep both sides consistent for tenants.
Grounds & Parking
The 6,839 square foot lot gives some breathing room between the units and the street.
Investment Potential
Built in 1969, this duplex offers two income-producing units in a Santa Cruz zip code where rental demand is consistently strong. Buyers considering rental income should independently verify current rents, lease terms, and any local rent control or duplex zoning requirements with Santa Cruz County.
Neighborhood
Walkability & Access
Live Oak scores well for walking and biking, with Santa Cruz Metro bus service along the main thoroughfares. Highway 1 and Highway 17 are both close by, making trips to downtown Santa Cruz, Capitola, and over the hill to Silicon Valley straightforward.
Outdoor Recreation
Twin Lakes State Beach and Seabright Beach are just over a mile away, with surf breaks, sand, and Schwan Lagoon nearby. Simpkins Family Swim Center and several neighborhood parks with playgrounds round out the recreation options close to home.
Community & Culture
The Live Oak Farmer's Market runs Sunday mornings, and the neighborhood has a settled, established feel with a long-time mix of families, renters, and owners. Downtown Santa Cruz and Capitola Village are both minutes away for dining and shopping.
Historic Character
Live Oak grew up through the mid-20th century as Santa Cruz expanded toward the coast, and homes and duplexes from that era, including this one, make up much of the neighborhood's housing stock today.
Zoning & Use
Located in unincorporated Santa Cruz County, this parcel supports two residential units. Buyers should confirm current zoning, permitted use, and any owner-occupancy or rental requirements directly with the county for this property.
Lifestyle
Life here trades on being close to everything: beach mornings, a short drive to downtown Santa Cruz, and easy access over Highway 17 for anyone commuting toward San Jose, all without leaving a quiet residential street.
