Citrus farming and mountain views in Piru
Citrus orchards and peaceful residential pockets make up the quaint Ventura County community of Piru. Rooted in the agriculture industry, the town has a quiet, rural atmosphere at the base of the Topatopa Mountains, where hundreds of acres of farms grow citrus and stone fruit. Piru is around 30 miles from the Pacific Ocean and the coastal city of Ventura. “A lot of people move out to Piru from the Santa Clarita area for more breathing room,” says Sandy Seekins, a local real estate agent with LIV Sotheby’s International. “You can get away from the active city atmosphere while still being within a short commute of Ventura and Santa Clarita."
