Outlying neighborhood of Ventura with plenty of community amenities
Situated about 10 miles east of Ventura is the Serra neighborhood, which has a long history of agricultural production due to its location along the fertile Santa Clara River bank. But as the city of Ventura has grown, what was once an unincorporated farming community in the 19th century has since been annexed and is today an outlying neighborhood of Ventura. Today, Serra is home to residents who enjoy the plentiful amenities and convenient highway access that the area offers them. The neighborhood is 7 miles from Community Memorial Hospital and 10 miles from San Benaventura State Beach to the west, and 65 miles from Los Angeles to the east. “It’s a great community all-around,” says Realtor Sean O’Toole, who has represented sales in the area for 18 years. “It offers great amenities, great neighbors and a great location.”
Serra features many housing developments creating smaller tight knit communities.
In the middle of Serra you can find many orchards and orange groves.

Farmhouse-style homes and condominiums
The median price of real estate in Serra is $810,000, and buyers should be prepared to pay an average of $499 per square foot. A one-bedroom/two-bathroom condominium can sell for around $420,000, and a two-bedroom/two-bathroom manufactured home can sell for $525,000, while a three-bedroom/three-bathroom townhouse sells for just over $590,000. For traditional single-family homes, a three-bedroom/two-bathroom ranch-style starts at $605,000, and prices can go up to $1.6 million for a four-bedroom/four-bathroom farmhouse-style home. “One thing about this neighborhood is that it’s a place where people know their neighbors,” says O’Toole. “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.”

Outdoor parks with mountain views
With several parks in the neighborhood, residents of Serra have a choice of where to go when they want some outdoor recreation. Northbank Linear Park is located on the neighborhood’s southern edge near the Santa Clara River, and features a path that caters to walkers or joggers, with distant views of the Santa Monica Mountains to the east. The park also affords visitors access to a playground and a small gazebo. And at Juanamaria Park in the neighborhood’s northwestern quadrant, it’s not uncommon to see area kids playing soccer on the large field or using the playground equipment while parents keep an eye on them from a nearby picnic table. Visitors to Juanamaria Park will also find a basketball court and two pickleball courts on the eastern end of the park. Golfers can tee-off at the Saticoy Regional Golf Course, a 9-hole public course located off Telephone Road on the eastern edge of the neighborhood. Swimmers of all ages enjoy the offerings at the Ventura Aquatics Center, with two pools, water slides and a water playground. And it’s just 10 miles west on Highway 126 to Ventura Beach, where the welcoming waters of the Pacific Ocean await.
