Spacious homes within walking distance of downtown Oxnard
On city-grid streets, folks often sacrifice space for walkability, but Carriage Square has a rare combination of both. This, along with its convenient location, makes it one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Oxnard, sitting 1 mile north of downtown restaurants and 2 miles south of Route 101. “The location is great, but the homes are a big draw here because there are more spacious options here compared to neighboring communities.,” says Sean Seitz, co-owner of Comfort Real Estate, specializing in Ventura County. This area of town, just north of the Oxnard Historic District, was developed in the early 1900s and became popular for its grand homes and large lots. Those early homes are no longer standing, but residents still enjoy spacious homes on sizable footprints. The grid streets invite residents to walk to schools and parks throughout the neighborhood. Folks can also walk directly south for relaxing strolls through the Oxnard Historic District and to check out the happenings downtown.
Homes in the Carriage Square area feature drought tolerant landscaping.

Spacious ranch-style and Mediterranean homes
The neighborhood sidewalks border manicured lawns that frame homes with green space. Front yards have enough space for coastal landscaping or swaying palms. Many backyards can comfortably accommodate a pool or patio, which residents can enjoy year-round. “A lot of homes have open floor plans that feel roomier than the older homes of a similar size in Wilson, for example,” says Seitz. The space and convenience of the neighborhood is reflected in the prices. At the low end of the range, three-to-four-bedroom cottages and ranch-styles can be found from $635,000 to $900,000. An updated ranch-style house or five-bedroom midcentury modern can range from $900,000 to $1 million. Prices reach $1.2 million to $1.4 million for spacious five-to-six-bedroom Mediterranean Revivals with recognizable red-tile roofs and breezy porches.
