Oxnard is a small seaside city in Ventura County, West of Los Angeles. It is a 20 minute drive to Malibu and a 30 minute drive to Santa Barbara. The weather is perfect year round. It is home to the Strawberry Festival and Salsa Festival. The Collection is a recently constructed outdoor mall that has shopping, dining, nightlife, and family friendly activities. The beaches and harbors are not too packed but have just enough activities to be able to enjoy with a partner or with family. It is rich in diversity and you will find a diverse selection of authentic food from American to Mexican to Asian and Italian.
Lovely beaches, great food, farms, established financial institutions, multiple businesses, churches, and military bases. Local Seabees, students, and a great mixture of general public make up this diverse city. What I would like to see improve in Oxnard is the condition of roads and streets. The main roads got replaced but many side streets need a lot of repairs. The sales tax is okay compared to neighboring cities. This famous city is home to the Strawberry Festival. Nearby is a government center and San Buenaventura mission.
I earned my Associate of Science in Business Administration from Oxnard College & transferred to CSU Channel Islands nearby. The actual islands are only 5-6 miles off the coast. This is a great area to live. The residents of Oxnard, Ventura County, California are truly fortunate to have so much within close proximity.
