One of California's classic coastal towns, Ventura sits on majestic bluffs that provide sweeping views of the crystal blue Pacific Ocean. Once a magnet for Spanish missionaries, this laid-back community is now a mecca for surfers, beach-goers and other outdoorsy types. With its modern amenities and unique cultural landscape, you'll be amazed that you've waited this long to discover what Ventura has to offer.

Ventura Attractions
With over 100,000 residents, Ventura has many of the amenities you'd expect to find in a medium-sized city. Much of the community's economic activity is clustered around Mission San Buenaventura, a downtown shopping and dining district that attracts folks from the surrounding areas. The Majestic Ventura Theater is a world-renowned concert venue that brings in big-name rock acts each year. Meanwhile, the Ventura County Fairgrounds offer regular recreational opportunities for local families.

Ventura Natural Beauty
Ventura's natural beauty is immediately obvious to anyone who arrives here from inland regions. The city boasts an alternately rocky and sandy beachfront that's perfect for shore fishing, hiking and sunbathing. Sailing enthusiasts, boaters and deep-sea fishers take to the Pacific waters in every season. During the fall and winter, surfers flock to Ventura to take advantage of the huge waves that roll off major Pacific storms. For landlubbers, nearby Los Padres National Forest keeps campers occupied for days on end with its rugged mixture of hills and mountains.

What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Ventura

Restaurants that are in my area and the grocery store. We have a few restaurants and a Whole Foods store as well as other fast food restaurants very close by.

The mall is walking distance as well as numerous grocery stores and schools and places to eat. A lot of shops to walk to and enjoy just walking..

There are a few Schools and a grocery store around the corner as well as some good restaurants that are quick as well as convenience

All the streets are named after birds. Four Miles from Ocean. I can walk to park and stores. I can hear the trains sometimes and church bells hourly.

Close to businesses like restaurants, stores like grocery and department stores. Easy access to major roads and highways. Close to airport.

This is a very quiet area, not a lot of late night activities. It gets very quiet and dies down early.
