The Midtown neighborhood in Ventura is thriving with a fun mix of locally owned shops, restaurants, and hangouts. Perfectly nestled between Ventura’s rolling foothills and its stunning coastline, Midtown offers unbeatable access to the beach, downtown, scenic parks, and hiking trails.
Two high schools and Ventura Community College are nearby.

Map Location
Midtown (light pink on map) is located in between the College and Downtown neighborhoods.
Lemon Grove/Midtown
In Lemon Grove you are super close to the Pacific View mall and lots of shops, restaurants and hangouts on Main Street. We love this part of town with all of its fun stores, restaurants and businesses including Jest Improv and The Grape. Homes range from the high 600s to 1.5 million.
Lemon Grove has a Pleasantville-like vibe. You’ll find mostly smaller bungalows and some two-story homes with mature trees.
Loma Vista/Midtown
The homes closer to Main Street have a busier feel as compared to homes further north and uphill near the Ventura County Medical Center.
There is a mix of homes from older tract homes from the 50’s-60’s all the way up to the 90’s and new custom builds. Homes range from the mid-800’s to almost 3 million.
Pros Midtown
- Close proximity to beaches, shops, restaurants, and Ventura Community College.
- Scenic views of ocean, hills, and city.
- Variety of home styles and prices, including picture perfect Spanish style homes from the 1920 and even some two story homes with ocean views from their rooftop deck.
- Easy access to beaches, hiking, biking and gorgeous Ventura parks.
- Friendly residents and community feel.
- Right off of Highway 101 for commuting and getting to all the amazing outdoor activities up and down the coast…..and over to the mountains and Ojai.
Cons Midtown
A busier part of Ventura with smaller lot sizes. Less spread out, for example, than the nearby College Neighborhood.
A busier more urban feel, especially on Main and Thompson Streets.
Noise from nearby Amtrak line and Highway 101.
