Lower-priced options next to Route 101
Oxnard's neighborhoods near Route 101 tend to have the highest prices in the city, but El Rio West offers lower-priced options with the same convenient location. It's also next to the Collection at Riverpark, the area's largest shopping center. "It's a really fun spot to be right next to Riverpark. You can walk to all sorts of shops and restaurants," says Doug Needham, Realtor with Coastal View Real Estate, who's lived in Ventura County for over 35 years. Prices are lower than those of neighboring suburbs like Town Center and South Bank because the homes are smaller and the neighborhood itself has fewer amenities. However, El Rio West's small size means that pretty much anywhere in the neighborhood is walkable. Plus, Oxnard Beach is just 9 miles away. "Oxnard is such a well-kept secret, and this neighborhood is a great example of what you can get," says Needham, "It's one of the last places in Southern California where you can live near the beach for a reasonable price."
