Oxnard is a sanctuary city that is currently being discovered by people in LA climbing homeless and drug user numbers that the city slides under the rug every city has its bad parts but I can’t help but notice you guys are in the nicest part on mandalay that happens to be cut away from the rest of the city
You had to use Hollywood Beach school as an example when it is the highest rated school in the district and can onle be accessed if you live in the beach communtiy. All other schools in the area are absolulty horrible. Lived here my entire life.
Oxnard used to smell real bad and lots of Seagulls. Had more muggy weather and crime also. It's changed and is so much better.
It is interesting that the weather has changed and is not so muggy. Thank you for sharing this information.
Love that Oxnard is one of the least expensive beach towns in California. That’s why we are looking at moving to the area. Great video! Thanks.
Thank you so much. We can't wait to have you live near us! We have found some new restaurants that we think you and your family will love.
Just don’t leave anything in your car- if someone can see something inside of a nice car- so much as a backpack (boy, our car wasn’t even nice) it WILL be broken into. Highscool is tough when you get your backpack stolen halfway through the year 🥲 maybe it’s not as bad these days with cloud storage.
Awesome to see a cool episode about Oxnard. I was born at the Old Saint Johns Hospital. My parents spent nearly 40 years in Port Hueneme. My wife and I have raised our family in the North Side of Oxnard and love it.
Thank you so much for your positive comment! We always love to hear from other people who enjoy Oxnard as much as we do. When we start focusing in on some of the neighborhoods we would love to hear what you have to say. Let us know if you are open to it. Feel free to text or email us :) Potterdreamhomes@gmail.com or 805-256-2813.
Cool 😎
This was a great video, I grew up in LA County, moved to San Diego for a bit and thankfully ended up in Ventura County/Oxnard & I love it. It's not overly crowded, everything is closee, traffic doesn't suck like in LA. The weather is beautiful, great churches. Sure there are negatives as well, but in my opinion the pros far outway the negative.
We're so happy that you see the positives and overall quality of living in Oxnard:) Thanks so much for. your comment!
And thanks so much for the positive feedback on the video!
Oxnard schools are under staffed and under funded. My sister-in-law taught in the Laguna Vista School District for several years and she and her husband (my brother) were constantly reaching into their own pockets to buy classroom supplies and school supplies and toys for the kids. Many of our other family members were in the habit of stopping at garage sales to buy any grammar school related items on the cheap to use in her classroom and to share with other classrooms. If you plan on moving to Oxnard and you have young children consider home schooling or a private school.
I understand your frustration. I taught for 20 years in Colorado and had to do the same thing. I always had to buy items for my classroom because we did not have the funding. One year it was so bad they would only give us a ream of paper, which was supposed to last 3 months. I was teaching a morning and afternoon kindergarten class, a total of 60 students. However, I can tell you that some of the best teachers can be found at schools that do not have the best funding if the district knows how to provide extended learning. I can also tell you that some of the most passionate teachers work in these schools. We always recommend speaking to other parents, visiting the schools, and talking to the principal and teachers if you can before you decide to put an offer in for a house. On the other hand, we have had clients ask for a list of private schools and have that available for people as well. Thank you so much for your comment. I believe that this leads to a much bigger discussion.
I was stationed over there at the Coast Guard station in Channel Island right next to Silverstrand. My father was the chief of police at Port Hueneme for about 10 years.
I was born in Oxnard in 1983 and I left for Scottsdale Arizona in 2012 and to be honest I haven’t looked back. It was really sad to see the way home was going and how expensive it got.! I was paying 2600 a month for a two bedroom apartment at Arbor Parc Road next to Walmart and Colonial!!!
In 2013, I was paying 1500 for a four bedroom two-story house in North Scottsdale and 2400 ft.² of property with a huge backyard and a three car garage a loft. Very safe neighborhoods, no gangs, it was strange, not hearing a police siren at night.
It is so peaceful out here, yes, it gets a little warm, but I will take luxury living and a little warm weather.
That’s not to say there are not some beautiful places in OXNARD. I was a former crime, prevention, officer and district safety officer with the OXNARD POLICE department.
And downtown got hit really hard with the drugs and the gangs.
It’s a hard community for young people because a lot of the jobs around there are retail and then you have the retirement areas on the beach.
So for young people, I would highly recommend Ventura, Thousand Oaks, Westlake, Camarillo. There is more gig style jobs there more data entry stuff.
It was very very hard growing up in OXNARD.
But I do miss Channel Island with a heavy heart.
Channel Island was absolutely my favorite spot. I had a small 32 foot cruiser at Channel Islands Marina. I also lived in the Pasar Apartments of Peninsula across from the fire station and Toppers pizza
Down there at the harbor is where it’s at
There are a lot of things to do and hopefully Sea is still around. They have really good fish tacos. The Ventura Harbor is not bad either but I don’t know the status of the restaurants if they’re still open.
But Channel Island Harbor has a lot of great stuff plus Silverstrand has Pepe’s Mexican food always good and fresh. Tall ships festivals, safe boating week.
There is some good stuff.
It’s a shame they got rid of building homes with fireplaces. That was always the fun times about having Christmas and OXNARD was lighting a fire and opening presents on Christmas morning.
Thank you so much for your comment. It is always nice for others to hear from someone who grew up here. Sea Fresh is still around and serving some yummy food. Our daughter is enjoying growing up in Oxnard and is currently in a show at the Elite theater. However, she tends to visit Ventura a lot for things to do when not at the beach.
OXNARD MY HOMETOWN!
Isn't it the best! Did you hear that we were just named 4th friendliest city in the U.S?
Y'all better be going somewhere with this!I'm thinking of moving back to the nard soon
That sounds great. What would you like to know. Is there a neighborhood, market or something else you think we should do a video on? Give us a call, 805-256-2813. We would love to hear from you.
@@livinginventuracounty1071 well right now me and my sister are here in San Diego but thinking about going back but it won't be for a while yet,we live in a mobile home park but our mom passed away but we can stay here for as long as we need to,it was in her name too but the rules of living in a mobile Park sucks 😑, but I will pass this on to my sister though 😊
@@midnyte6195 We are so sorry to hear about your mom and the troubles you and your sister are having. Keziah's step father passed away and it is life changing when you lose someone that close. We are so glad that you at least have your sister to be with during this time. Please feel free to reach out to us at any time if you have a question, comments or want us to focus on something:) Also, when you do decide to come back we would love to take you and your sister out to look at homes.
I love Oxnard, Kayaking in channel islands harbor is so relaxing, couldn't afford a house there but maybe a live aboard sailboat could work.
Where do you live? We agree about the channel islands harbor it is one of our favorite places too.
@@livinginventuracounty1071 I'm south of sedona az, was headed back to paldale ca as I spent about 4 months there analyzing options.
That was smart of you to take the time to get to know the place and see if it was feasible. Let us know if you're ever in the area and we can get together to do some water activities. Thanks for watching our channel.
This is such BS, of course this guy is gonna try to sell it to those that do not live here to come on over, he's a REA. There are tons of these "Living in [name of city]" channels to boost it up. I was born and raised in Oxnard, lived on each N, S, W and E sides, each has it's issues and crime. Oxnard is also overcrowded, high taxes, insurance rates etc. Throughout the 70s and 90s, Oxnard used to be known as one of the cheapest cities within VC to live. Yes, Oxnard has spruced itself up, but you can only lie (cover up) so much. The cops are corrupt and the mayor does very little. Due to my work, I was able to move out and live in NYC, Texas, Chicago and more. I moved back briefly and no surprise, going through my old hoods was depressing. The beach is known as one of the dirtiest in CA, let's keep it real. Your views are so one sided, but that's was REA do, coming from a former one I know :)
Thank you for your input. It is always good for our viewers and ourselves to hear another point of view. While we understand that Oxnard is not the right place for you many people are happy here. In everyone of our videos we discuss the pros and cons to the best of our knowledge because we want people to find the right area for them. When we did our research to move out to this area there was minimal information that I could find in one place. We only hope that our videos and people's comments help someone make an informed decision and their search a little easier.
As for the police, we have not had any negative encounters. This is not saying that there aren't negative encounters but really the first we heard about any issues with the police force was from you and another viewer.
For anyone interested in more information on the Oxnard police force this was an informative website. (policescorecard.org/ca/police-department/oxnard).
Thank you again.
Hahah if you don’t bang you’re chilling
@@randyroque7201 exactly, other than that safe. And lots of homeless people still but they do their own thing.
@@zavalazavala6562 just mind your business lol if you see something keep on walking
Oxnard is a dump
Trying to decide do I want to live here or Gulfport MS in 2025 … concern is def cost of living and CA policies
They both are beautiful places. Have you been to either yet?
I was 15 when we found the dead girl. Competition for the jobs is so bad, you’re better off working in a red state.
I was born here.
Man, it goes deep. You have to know someone to get anywhere. It’s not about what you know.
I am so sorry about your experience. When we lived in Colorado we had a body dropped off in front of our neighbors house. I grew up in Salt Lake City Utah and also had some very negative experiences. Bad things can happen in any neighborhood and where ever you live. Thank you for your comment about your experience and again I am sorry that it was so negative.- Keziah
I miss the Oxnard and Port Hueneme Ca. Channel Island not the prices or cost of living and yes it was always cold there lol
We hope that you are able to visit. It is a special place.
I lived in Oxnard for years I was born in San Francisco California I came to oxnard when 9yrs old, I ❤️oxnard it is a beautiful place to live, lots of raza and lots of things to do, love when the Cowboys come to oxnard to practice, the weather is nice lots of jobs and in the plaza park is nice when we have the 5 de Mayo, the strawberry 🍓 festival.

Thank you so much for your response and your experinence in Colonia. It is so wonderful to hear from someone who lives in the neighborhood!
Did you hear that Oxnard was picked the 4th friendliest and 5th happiest city to live in the U.S.? We agree:).
Good afternoon Patty, we are looking to do a video on Colonia and would love to walk the streets with you as you talk about it or if you know anyone else who would be open to that. We would love to interview at least 4 people on the video but would love to speak with more and talk about what it is like to live and grow up in this neighborhood. Would you please give us a call, text or email- 805-256-2813 or team@living-inventuracounty.com. We look forward to hearing from you.
Pls recommend work from in Oxnard
I know it can be hard to find a job in Oxnard so people sometimes look for jobs around Oxnard. I have seen people post that they are looking for certain type of job on Nextdoor and others help. Our daughter has looked on Indeed.com for jobs. There are also certain websites you can go to if you are looking for something specific such as being an educator. Please send us an email or give us a call. We do not do job placements, because we are real estate agents, but maybe we can point you in the right direction. Take care.
WOW!! that guy walks fast even though he has a walking stick in the sand 😮
I know! We think he may have gotten super powers from the power plant behind us. LOL.
@@livinginventuracounty1071 😁you know, that could be it,I didn't think about that
Huh huh huh. Ox. Nard. Huh huh huh
Yeah hehehehe
Yes, Oxnardians also go by "Nards" sometimes:)...Maybe that is why we are one of the friendliest cities in the country, as reported by Neighbor Blog, www.neighbor.com/storage-blog/most-neighborly-cities-2022/#:~:text=Climbed%20from%20%2318%20in%202021.&text=But%20what%20really%20boosted%20its,happiest%20place%20in%20the%20U.S..
You might want to keep Oxnard a secret as long as possible...millions of people will move to Oxnard if they know the truth.lol😂
Seriously....they will come here.
Yes, standing room only. 😂
Cost of living? The 48 lower states vary so much that comparing straight across is bogus. Suggest Antelope valley for cheap housing and limited employment positions. The cheap states are no job states except for overpaid state workers.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.
I cannot believe the excuses you are giving education. Ca is what? 35 out of 50? The tests are national wide. In Ca leaving no child behind means you graduate no matter what.
Oxnard is a very good city but it has issues. Building homeless shelters will only draw more homeless to here.

Or is it a diamond in the rough...
Oh come on......first, Spanish is the dominant language in Oxnard. So, if that is you, go for it. You can live and die in Oxnard and never know English. I had a friend from Pt. Hueneme who wouldn't let me walk around the block, in fact, he wouldn't either, and he is Hispanic. He told me to stay out of downtown Oxnard, said I would be shot. He lives in Camarillo now. There are many Hispanic grocery stores, hmm, wonder why? I had a neighbor in Camarillo, who was a police man in that area, and warned me to stay out. One of my doctors lives there. He drives his child to a distant public school. So if you want to hear Spanish everyday, this is the place for you! I was at a jewelry sale at a nice home next to a golf course, and I had to leave, they were treating the gold course, I was allergic. I live up the grade now, and I feel at home. Birds of a feather, stick together.
