Orchard
Neighborhood in Oxnard, California
Ventura County 93036
Condo communities and suburban streets
Orchard's mixture of condos and single-family homes separates it from most North Oxnard suburbs. Most of the neighborhood's options were developed in the 1970s and 1980s, so they're on the older side of North Oxnard communities. Orchard Lane is a condo community on the neighborhood's north side. Its wide streets, communal green spaces and walking paths help it blend in with the neighboring suburban streets. The two-to-three-bedroom, single-story units range from $500,000 to $640,000. There are also multistory condo complexes in the neighborhood's south side, with one-to-three-bedroom units for $350,000 to $570,000. The streets of single-family suburbs directly surround Orchard Park. Sidewalks make it easy to walk to the park, and palms and citrus trees provide a bit of shade along the way. Smaller three-bedroom ranch-style homes with midsize grassy lawns range from $600,000 to $730,000. Spacious four-to-five-bedroom midcentury homes and Mediterranean Revivals with enough yard space for a pool can reach $800,000 to $990,000.
Walk to Orchard Park or drive to Oxnard Beach
Orchard Park is where residents go for outdoor fun if they're not going to the beach. The tennis and basketball courts are the site of neighborhood matches and pickup games, and kids can climb on the playground after school. The open space and shady trees provide a convenient spot for residents who feel like relaxing. Oxnard Beach is where locals spend much of their free time, less than 7 miles from the neighborhood. This is the most popular of all the city's beaches because of the extensive shoreline and oceanfront parks within walking distance of the restaurants at Channel Islands Harbor.Shop and dine in the neighborhood and retail 2 miles away
This a convenient location for shopping, with necessities in the neighborhood at Lemon Grove Plaza and more retail 2 miles north at the Collection at Riverpark. Lemon Grove Plaza is a short walk or drive from many homes in the neighborhood's southeast corner. Smart & Final at the plaza is the closest spot for groceries, and Lowe's is across Citrus Grove Lane for DIY supplies. Lemon Grove also offers a few places to grab a bite. Hook, Line & Sinker Seafood is where locals go to enjoy the fresh catch from the oceanfront, while La Michoacana Azteca makes Mexican ice cream concoctions piled high with colorful syrups and toppings like fresh mango, cookies and occasionally hot Cheetos. Only 2 miles north, The Collection at Riverpark is the city's largest retail center. The Collection has shops like Lululemon and H&M, as well as larger stores like Target and Whole Foods.B-plus-graded Rio Mesa High
Orchard is a part of the Rio Elementary School District, which is graded a C overall by Niche. Rio Del Norte is where kids get their start, graded a C-minus. They move on to Rio Vista Middle, rated a C. Students round out their journey at Rio Mesa High, which is a part of the B-plus-rated Oxnard Union High School District. Rio Mesa has a B-plus on Niche, and its International Baccalaureate program is a big draw in the area. The program helps students develop the skills to succeed in higher education through advanced coursework in the sciences and humanities.
Commute on Route 101
Route 101, a mile north, makes this a convenient spot for longer commutes to Los Angeles. It's about a 60-mile drive to Downtown LA. The drive takes an hour and 15 minutes at best, but heavy traffic closer to the city typically adds a lot of time. The Oxnard Transit Center offers a two-hour train to Downtown LA for those who wish to avoid the drive. Residents might also work at one of Oxnard's large employers. Port Hueneme, 6 miles south, is home to a naval base and shipping port. Point Mugu Naval Air Station is another military hub 11 miles south on the Pacific Coast Highway.Concerts at the Collection
On select dates throughout April and May, residents drive up to the Collection at Riverpark for the Park View Court Live Music Series. The eclectic mix of bands performs in the Collection's outdoor park. While the music is rocking, folks can grab a bite at the Annex Food Hall, play cornhole or chill out by a fire pit.
