Street-facing rooms
56% of homes are detached houses, where front rooms face the street. Tier-on-tier panels let you close the lower half for privacy and open the top for daylight.
Children’s rooms
Shutters have no cords. In Canada, corded window coverings have been regulated since May 1, 2021, and in the US the Consumer Product Safety Commission tells families to choose cordless window coverings.
Room by room in Santa Cruz
The median home in Santa Cruz has 4.6 rooms, and the most common has 2 bedrooms. Most owners start with the bedrooms, then the rooms that face the street. In Watsonville, 15 miles away, the figure is 4.6 rooms.
22% of workers here worked from home in the 2020–2024 survey years, more than in 81% of the 881 US cities we have figures for. A home office is often the next room shuttered. In Watsonville, 15 miles away, 6% worked from home, fewer than here.
