9 Neighborhoods, Ventura, CA. In depth guide. 

Thanks for taking the time to provide your perspective on how Ventura has changed. We have heard from our customers how welcoming Ventureans are and how they have enjoyed becoming part of the community with volunteering, Taco Tuesday, Wine and hiking clubs and more.

@@livinginventuracounty1071 it’s the folks that come from big towns, who treat our town like trash we don’t welcome. People fall in love with the charm in Ventura but if they don’t add to it they are definitely taking away from it! I have lived off the ave for a decade and in ventura county for most of my life. Almost every weekend I see a car wash fundraiser for a family member that was killed by gang violence.. it’s very sad. I see homeless people all around town and make beanies for them since ventura lacks the services to provide the basic needs of its citizens. I’ve seen a homeless person get hit by a truck and killed on the ave.. chalk outline of his body was their for months.I asked the ventura county star why they did not report on this and they said it was a minor injuries incident. Our town wipes things under the rug to make this seem like a more peaceful place than it actually is. If you check out the crime map you can see burglary incidents all over town including in the hills that have beautiful views… a lot of cars get stolen along with catalytic converters.. it’s not paradise but I’ll tell you it once was… that ship has sailed

We would love to meet up with you and your husband when you are in the area. Midtown is amazing. My sister is looking to move down from Northern California and rented an AirBnb in midtown. They loved it so much they have decided to retire there. We are so happy to hear that you have enjoyed our videos. Wanted to mention that the 9 Neighborhoods also has a written blog with maps on our website and here is the link for that living-inventuracounty.com/living-in-ventura-california-neighborhoods/ We also have a handout with top restaurants and places to go to in Camarillo and will be making one for Ventura before you get here. If you would like, we can email that to you and also provide them in person when you get here. Can't wait to meet you both! Please reach out to us to set up a time before you head out here.

😂. Good to know.

The cost of living has increased since 2020 manly due to the cost of housing but also food and utilities have increased as well. A good website to check out is www.bestplaces.net/cost-of-living/ventura-ca/los-angeles-ca/50000. One thing residents are talking about this month is the cost of gas for heating the home and such has almost tripled. This happens every winter so it is something to keep in mind if you move here. As for needing to make a certain amount each year to be able to pay your bills...It depends on how much you put down for a house, what interest rate you get and if you rent out a room or portion of your home. We have noticed that more people are renting out a room and are able to make between $1,000-1,500. The cost is a trade off for the type of lifestyle someone wants. We don't pay for many activities since we love going to the beach, on hikes and we already paid for the surf and paddleboards. The weather was another thing that drew us here. If you can afford to move here and you love the lifestyle then you wont regret it. I hope that answers your question. Thank you so much for the nice feedback!

U handle rentals that are pet friendly?

@@junglelove888 We do not have any rentals that we manage. One of the reasons we landed out buying a house was because of our dogs and cats so we get it. What areas are you looking at and we can put out some feelers for you?

Dont forget to mention the homeless problem downtown mainly the avenue. I lived in ventura for 29 years.

@@thomassteinbroner3050 Yes, we talk about the homeless issue in some of our other videos too. Thank you for your input. We have heard from other people who live in Ventura that there are now more homeless in Midtown. Have you noticed that too?

That is a great idea to speak with the police department if you are interested in moving to an area. Ventura also has a crime map that they mark where issues have happened. We always recommend our clients to take a look at the map since we are not legally allowed to tell a person to live somewhere or not. The site is www.communitycrimemap.com/ and is provided by Ventura City Police Department.

We are so glad it made you laugh! We were wondering if it was a little much but it made us laugh really hard too so we had to include it.

@@livinginventuracounty1071 it made me laugh because geographically speaking the Ave is a Mini Valley 😂

@@Setton_Exile right, but the hills were behind it. We used our creative license. If you look just right and block out the aves, you can see the picture we were trying to create. lol. Anyway, we got you to laugh and that is all that matters.

@@livinginventuracounty1071 it’s all good 🤙🏼 I get what you guys were trying to do 🤙🏼
