San Buenaventura (Ventura), CA
A nice place to live, but way too expensive. -
10/5/2006I've lived my whole life here (22 years) and Ventura is a great place to live if you can afford it. I feel my money could go to better things than the outrageous rent here. If you love the beach this is a great place, though it is a bit polluted. Personally I don't care for the beach or sun, and prefer the rain so I'm planning to move to Washington or somewhere similar. Ventura is close to Santa Barbara if you're into wine. Except a DECENT house to run you over $600,000. Not cheap. The weather is always good, it's rarely particularly hot or cold. We have no seasons really so don't come here expecting variety, it always looks the same. We have a nice mall, though traffic is a bit much around there, nothing compared to Hollywood though. If most of the above things interest you, you'll love Ventura.
