    Overview

    300 Seventh Avenue is a 1,500 square foot storefront-style retail building positioned on a 3,000 square foot corner parcel. The property is presented for sale as a long-held, small commercial structure with on-site parking to support day-to-day customer access.

    Located in Santa Cruz, the building sits on the corner of Seventh Avenue and Carmel Street and is described as being approximately three blocks from the Pacific Ocean. The corner orientation provides additional street-level exposure for a retail tenant or operator, with practical convenience emphasized through the property’s access and parking.

The combination of a compact retail building, corner positioning, and on-site parking can fit businesses that value easy customer access and a low-maintenance footprint. The property is also being marketed to portfolio buyers looking for a well-located, established commercial building.
