Condos and suburbs 1 mile from Route 101

Sitting a mile south of Route 101, Orchard offers all the typical benefits of a North Oxnard suburb with a greater variety of living spaces. Unlike the large tract developments in most of North Oxnard, Orchard has a mixture of condo communities and suburban streets of single-family homes. Whether living in a condo or a large Mediterranean Revival, residents have convenient access to the freeway for long commutes down the coast. "It might seem like a long way to LA, but a lot of people do it because they can get square footage out here," says Realtor Xavier Flores with Keller Williams West Ventura County, who specializes in Oxnard and Ventura. The proximity to Route 101 is a big draw, but the neighborhood is also just 2 miles from the city's largest shopping and dining hub, the Collection at Riverpark. This gives residents plenty of weekend activity, and Oxnard Beach is less than 7 miles away.

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.

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.

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.

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.
