I have lived in both cities and currently live in Camarillo. Ventura is fun for nightlife, beaches and access to Santa Barbara. I do not enjoy June gloom but the East end or the end of the Avenue heading to Ojai has a different weather pattern. The first home I owned was on the Avenue by the Pepsi plant and it was sunny and warm there. Camarillo is a family town. My family moved here in the 60's and I enjoy the quieter life and great weather. It is also close to the Conejo Valley, which has great restaurants and shopping. I am staying put in Camarillo but both are great options.
I am always looking for a good place to eat. Where should I go to get some good food? I don't want to spend too much money but for a tasty tikki masala, I would break the bank.
Neither - Oxnard Channel Islands Harbor area is better and close to the navy base for all the people that work there and the retirees that use the facilities there. Most houses here don’t even have AC, Camarillo and Ventura inland is hot and mountains that get on fire. Good luck getting fire insurance.
Which city is your favorite and why?

Thanks for sharing your experience, it's great to hear the pros for both from someone who has lived in both cities.

I like Ventura because I am a beach girl and I also love the pedestrian mall.
Those are great reasons to love Ventura. Have you been to old Town Camarillo yet?
@@livinginventuracounty1071 I have. I liked the different shops and used clothes stores. It just doesn't have as many stores as Ventura.

It is hard to get better than the Channel Islands Harbor. We walk around there at least twice a week. If you see us please say hi:)
