Living by the river in El Rio
Sitting on Oxnard’s northern edge is the small El Rio community, named for its proximity to the Santa Clara River. Homes in the neighborhood offer a combination of relative affordability and convenience that can be difficult to find in the area. “It’s a good community for families and first-time home buyers,” says Tanya Reyes, a real estate agent with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. “It’s close to River Park and all the things to do there, and you have the added bonus of not having to pay HOA fees or Mello-Roos taxes like you would in the nearby area.” El Rio has a more rural feel than many Ventura County areas, with wide residential streets dotted with tall, mature trees.
Midcentury ranches and mobile homes
Single-family homes sit closely together on El Rio’s residential streets, though many lots are long and narrow, creating spacious backyards for large patios. The area is primarily made up of midcentury ranch-style homes with two-car garages. Inside, many of the homes have been fully renovated with modern appliances and open floor plans. Front lawns often feature landscaping with grass and fruit trees or extra-wide driveways for additional parking. Prices for these properties typically range between $550,000 and $780,000. On the more affordable side, mobile homes in the community list between $100,000 and $195,000.
