Ojai is a very unique and special place. It has it's great features along with it's draw backs. It's very expensive and not really a family oriented place. The people are a mix of all kinds, though most are "older" and many may find snobby. There are two wonderful health food stores and a fantastic farmers market all year round on Sundays. Ojai is a very cute,very small town in a very beautiful "organic minded" valley. We've lived here about 8 years and have fallen in love with the Chaparral. The trails through the Los Padres National Forrest couldn't be more beautiful or full of surprises. The geology is very interesting as well. As much as we've found our place here in the natural beauty we are yet to feel comfortable in the community. The air quality could be better as we're a very small valley, and as the wind blows close to LA and Bakersfield. I must brag though that we have no industry, power plants, or mines. Ojai is great but not if you're a young family.
