    I moved to Camarillo last year from Northern California and I absolutely love it! The weather is great, the people are great, and the overall environment is great! I would definitely recommend Camarillo to anyone looking to move to Southern California. It's close enough to Los Angeles but also far enough away where you don't have to deal with the hustle and bustle of it all.

    Beautiful location, nestled in the small valley between the hilly Thousand Oaks neighborhood, and coastal hub of Ventura. This is a safe city great for families and students and very dog friendly! Only 10 minites from the beach and both Los Angeles and Santa Barbara within 1 hour driving distance in either direction. There's great shopping and a wonderful sense of community!
