Pros And Cons Of Moving To Ventura, Ca From A Local's Perspective! 

Thank you so much!!! It was our pleasure.:)

Thank you so much for letting us know you enjoy the interviews. We noticed a decline in our viewers when we had an interview put on so we decided to not have them in our videos anymore. Your comment has put a smile on our face and made the hard work of finding people worth it. Thank you again.

What a high compliment. Thank you so much for your feedback. We always love speaking to people about their experiences in Ventura County. We would love to hear from you.

So glad you still get a chance to visit and enjoy.

Yes, homeless has been increasing and we were talking about making a new pros and cons video. However we did talk about homeless at the 9 min marker and how it is moving into the suburbs. In our next pros and cons we will make sure to mention the east end. What part of the east end do you live in? As always we appreciate any insite.. Thank you.

We were so lucky to catch this band on Hollywood beach playing for a couple that got engaged! We only had our phone and the sound did not do them justice. We recommend this Mariachi band to anyone who wants a fun and great experience. Abel we will send you an email later this week to set up another time for us to record with our equipment!

Yes, we plan on covering all of the amazing neighborhoods in Ventura. We have a list to do and will be putting out an overview of all the nieghborhoods this or next week. Then a couple of other places that have been requested. We will put College to the top of the list for the neighborhoods to do in Ventura:). Is there anything you want to know or think we should focus on or showcase? We also are starting a series of interviews with locals if you or someone you know would like to talk about your neighborhood or city:).

@@livinginventuracounty1071 I look forward toward your covering this neighborhood. I really like it and I am considering moving to this area. Unfortunately, there don’t seem to be many homes for sale in the College neighborhood.

​@@KrysP125 We drove to the College neighborhood yesterday and looked at all of the different subdivisions. It is such a special area and has so much to offer. Currently, there are very few homes for sale in all of Ventura County. However, this may change. You probably already know this but it doesn't hurt for others to hear it. The best thing to do is what you have done, find an area you love and find out more about it. When you are about 6 months to a year out start speaking with a mortgage provider and see what you may need to do in order to get a better rate, this way you will have time to improve your credit if you need to. A few points in your credit score can make a big difference in your payments. The mortgage provider can also tell you if it would be best to pay off a credit card so you can qualify for a higher amount. Don't forget to contact us or another real estate agent to start a search for you. That way we were able to watch the market and get a good feel for our price point. An agent is better than looking at Zillow or another site because you can specify what you want, where you want it, and when you receive the information. As well as learning about up-and-coming properties, similar neighborhoods and what is going on with the market in a certain area and price point. We started looking in an area and had a search set up for 3 years in 4 different cities that we were able to narrow down the last year to a specific neighborhood before moving here. When the perfect house came up we were already set to go and were able to put an offer on it right away. When you want to live in a certain neighborhood it is best to be ready so that when the house is available you are good to go. Once we do the video on the College neighborhood we would love to hear from you and see what you think.

We would love to hear more why you feel that way. We have only heard positives about it becoming a pedestrain mall. Thank you so much for your comment.

I've lived in Ventura for nearly 40 years and I used to love driving down main street it had a certain energy and vibrancy especially at night and my elderly mother could find easy parking instead of having to walk a mile.

That being said I still love it here just wish we had main street back to it's former glory.

Thank you so much for your information and perspective. It was very insightful.

@@livinginventuracounty1071 Socal summer nights when old school cars would drive down main street or state street in santa barbara also can park right in front of where your shopping.

Ok:) Our next video on Ventura we will film in a whisper so no one will know. lol.... On a serious note, what do you think of the X-games coming? We are interested to see how it compares to how the strawberry festival was delt with. We would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a message and for watching our videos.

@@livinginventuracounty1071 X-Games always brings family fun! From my experience seeing the SF X-Games Tony Hawk do his Quadruple twist off the half pike was phenomenal! Never forget it! he tried and tried several times and then he finally did it you should've heard the crowd irrupt in joy for his success! ❤️

That sounds like a amazing experience! Thank you for sharing it.

lol. It does seem that way. We just get a lot of phone calls from buyers and people visiting asking us those types of questions so we are trying to answer them. Bart actually does not even drink.

We are so sorry that you experienced this type of treatment. We are sad to say that you are not the first one to tell us this. One of our daughter's friends told us that it is still going on in the school that her brother attends. Thank you for sharing because it is important for people to know what they may encounter. We would love to hear more about your experiences and if there is anything you think we should cover or you would like to see. Take care.

Oh wow. I’ve lived in Ventura my entire life and I would absolutely never compare the racism faced in our hometown to what’s happening in states like Georgia and such. Do you have any specific experiences you can share so those of us that live in Ventura can work to make it better?

I just saw your response to this comment. Thank you for reaching out. My daughters friend said that her brother, who is black, would get notes from other students calling him the "N" word, KKK symbols and kids trying to fight him. When he was called into the office his parents were told that kids would be kids and nothing was done. The threats escalated and they had to move him to a different school since the teachers and principal did not stop it from happening. She said that his current school is no better. Hana also has been told by other students that they can't believe she is white because she is so nice to them. We were told by our friends that there is a history of racism in Ventura County that leads to distrust.

They probably also pronounce Sanjon, Sand John not San hon

Yes, they could be better:).
