1. North Oxnard

North Oxnard? It’s not just a place to live. It’s where the Dallas Cowboys’ training camp is—if a multibillion-dollar franchise like the Cowboys loves it here, there’s gotta be a good reason.

Want to shop and eat? Head to The Collection Shopping Center—the go-to spot for all of coastal Ventura County. It’s got Whole Foods, big-name stores, and everything you could need.

And those golf course communities? Two 18-hole courses with epic mountain views. Plus, beaches are just minutes away. The best part? Perfect weather—60 to 80°F year-round. No scorching summers like other parts of California. You can golf, hit the beach, and stay active, all year long.

North Oxnard offers a mix of vibrant, peaceful neighborhoods with easy access to amenities and beautiful scenery. Highlights include:

• Wagon Wheel: A park-like community with walking trails, playgrounds, and future plans for more dog parks, a brewery, and fine dining.
• RiverPark: Offers a variety of homes, including detached homes, townhomes, and condos, with mountain views, parks, and walking trails.
• Windsor North: A tranquil neighborhood near River Ridge Golf Course, offering gorgeous homes with mountain views and easy access to shopping, dining, and Ventura beaches.
• Sierra Linda: Affordable homes with ranch-style and Spanish-style options, ranging from the low 600s to the low 800s.

2. South Western – Beach and Resort Living

There is also a commercial development in the works at the site of the Fisherman’s Wharf in the Channel Islands Harbor that could have a big impact on property values in the area.
