Residential vibe near Oxnard’s oceanfront

Halfway between the oceanfront and downtown Oxnard, Marina West offers a mix of residential charm and seaside activity, making it one of the most appealing locations in the city. "You get the convenience of a city neighborhood with the recreation and easy-going nature of a beachfront town," says Arturo Hernandez, Realtor since 2009 with RE/MAX Gold Coast. Curving streets and cul-de-sacs combined with larger homes and lawns give a suburban vibe, contrasting the city blocks of neighboring Bartolo Square. “People love how much recreation is nearby, surfing is especially big here,” says Hernandez. From anywhere in the community, residents are within walking distance of their boat and waterfront dining at Seabridge Marina or Channel Islands Harbor. Authentic Southern California eateries in downtown Oxnard are also a short drive in the other direction. With Route 101 just north of the neighborhood, commuters can make their daily drive with time to spare for sunset surfing.

Mediterranean-inspired homes on quiet streets

Although it's not directly on the water, Marina West has a laid-back Southern California vibe where folks take relaxed strolls on wide streets and sidewalks shaded by trees flush with green foliage. Spacious, manicured lawns decorated with coastal flora and tall, swaying palms provide tranquil surroundings for Mediterranean-inspired homes with stucco exteriors and tile roofs. On the low end of the price range, smaller two-bedroom townhouses and ranch-style homes start around $470,000, but homebuyers can find many four-bedroom Mediterranean-inspired homes for the median price of about $715,000. Prices reach just under $1 million for five-bedroom Mission Revivals accented with Spanish-influenced rod iron fences and window decorations.
