A tight knit community near the Pacific
Less than 5 miles from the Pacific Ocean, Montalvo is a central Ventura Community with walkable, hilly lanes and dozens of convenient shops and eateries. “Montalvo has seen a lot of revitalization in the last few decades,” says Xavier Flores, a local real estate agent and Ventura-area expert with Keller Williams West Ventura Avenue. “The area has a mix of modern hillside homes with ocean views and more modest bungalows and cottages with a lot of investment potential. The neighborhood is around 6 miles from downtown Ventura and just a short drive from hillside hiking areas and numerous parks. “Neighbors know each other in Montalvo,” says Realtor Sean O’Toole, who has represented sales in the area for 18 years. “It’s a tight-knit community, and part of that is because people buy homes here as a primary residence instead of as a short-term rental investment.”
The Thille-Montalvo area of Ventura was established in 1887.

Mediterranean architecture and ocean views in Montalvo
The residential streets of Montalvo are lined with modern Mediterranean homes, condo complexes and bungalows and ranch style homes built between the 1950s and 1980s. “They’ve built some new condo and apartment complexes that have been a big draw with their ocean views,” Flores says. Houses sit close together on small lots ranging from around 4,000 square feet to 9,000 square feet. Larger, luxury builds can range from $950,000 to $1.2 million. Single-story homes go for $550,000 to $915,000, while manufactured houses can fetch $285,000 to $570,000. Additionally, townhomes and condos have price tags between $475,000 and $715,000. “Many Montalvo residents have converted their detached garage spaces into additional dwelling units (ADUs) to rent out for extra income. It’s been a great investment opportunity for locals, especially since Covid.”
