With a location 1 mile south of downtown Oxnard and 4 miles from the beach, it might come as a surprise that Kamala Park's home prices are still relatively low compared to other coastal Southern California neighborhoods. "Out of all the neighborhoods in Oxnard, it's not the closest to the freeway or the beach, so you can find lower prices," says Realtor Xavier Flores with Keller Williams West Ventura County, who specializes in Oxnard and Ventura. The neighborhood sits on Oxnard's city grid within walking distance of downtown, yet its quiet location maintains a suburban feel. "Most homes are from the 1950s and '60s, which gives an old-suburbia look and easy-going feel," says Flores.
You can find homes with quaint front porches throughout the Kamala Park neighborhood of Oxnard.
