Description
The midtown area is generally defined as the area east of the San Lorenzo River, but west of about Seabright Avenue. Midtown encompasses the Branciforte and Seabright areas. The northern portion is mostly industrial and residential. The origin of the use of the word midtown to describe this area is unknown and may be relatively recent; some locals prefer to use the term Eastside for any area east of the San Lorenzo River.
History
Community
Fewer students live in Midtown than the Westside, given that there are almost no direct routes to the university from the area. Much of midtown is residential, but portions around Soquel Avenue, Water Street and Seabright Avenue tend to have a lot of commercial activity.
