Small historic town near Ventura
Located about 10 miles from Ventura, Saticoy is a small town filled with history and plenty of suburban conveniences. The community’s history dates back to the late 1800s as a railroad town but has since developed into a blend of residential and commercial areas in the present day. Residents have convenient access to major roads and public transportation that allows easy access throughout the area, but there are plenty of local eateries and shops nearby. Though Ventura Beach is 9 miles away, there are several neighborhood parks and trailheads nearby. “It’s a small and eclectic neighborhood that’s in a transitional area,” says Kay Wilson-Bolton, Broker with Century 21 Everest. “It’s a mixed community with industrial, commercial and residential parts, and you’ll find many people who have lived here for a long time in established homes.”
Affordable homes
Palm tree lined streets dominate the streetscape of the community, with single-family homes clustered throughout. Wilson-Bolton adds that “The affordability is a big draw for people, you’ll find some older homes that cost less here than they would be a couple miles down the road.” Homes in the area have recently sold between $400,000 and $580,000, as well as duplexes in the $900,000 range. Many of the houses have gated front and backyards, giving residents additional privacy.
