I’m a Monterey County resident, went to go live in Oxnard for school and I fell in love with the whole area. I moved back and I miss it ! :’) I hope I can one day be able to make Ventura County my home
We know how you feel. I never felt like I would call a place my home (wondering spirit girl here) but then we moved here and it has my heart. It is nice to hear from another person who feels the same way.
Ventura county can be a great place to live if you can afford it and you choose carefully where you want to settle down. It is very expensive to live here. From rent to groceries and gas there is no part of the county that is reasonably affordable. Stay away from most of Oxnard. There are a few scattered areas in Oxnard worth living in if you are well off. Santa Paula and Fillmore are two more cities to avoid. These are predominantly Hispanic areas and the county does not maintain these cities at all. Most of them have terrible road conditions. Camarillo is most definitely the town to live in if you can afford it. It's mostly retirees and families and the city does an exceptional job of maintaining roads and public areas. There is very little crime here and Camarillo is generally a very quiet city. In addition to a super huge outlet mall, Camarillo also has an airport. Camarillo is surrounded by hundreds of acres of agriculture as well. Another very expensive city to live in is Ojai. It is a very beautiful area with many multimillion dollar properties scattered about. Anything over the 101 freeway grade is considered the Conejo Valley. This would include Thousands Oaks and Westlake. These are some of the best towns to live in with newer housing and shopping centers, however, these towns are also very expensive to live in. Since these cities are located over the Conejo grade (mountains) it is much hotter in these areas. The ocean breeze cannot make it over the mountains. I have lived in Ventura county for 45 years. It is a great place to live, work, and raise a family. But nowadays it is very expensive to live here.
I disagree about Conejo being warmer, I work In Camarillo and live in Newbury Park, the canyons push ocean breeze into Newbury Park and Western TO. Camarillo can be up to 10 degrees warmer on a summer day in my experience. Just adding my $.02
@livinginventuracounty1071 Ventura County is really nice Great school Trying to keep alot of illegal out They got them everywhere It's not expensive as ThousandOaks California
Don't come here. It's too expensive. A one-bedroom apartment is easily $2500 per month. Utilities are $200 per month. It is beautiful but not cheap. No mention that living here is like living in Mexico.

Yes, the majority population is Hispanic, but saying it's Mexico sounds racist to me.
@eazyaxcess And you're entitled to your opinion which is completely different than facts.
