The rents are so high that the old time locals and seniors can't afford to live there anymore, its too bad because the locals are so much of Ventura's charm.
I grew up there in the Avenue area during the 60s 70s through the mid-80s. The weather is fantastic! The cost of living is crazy. Good luck
I love in Ventura, downtown. We have a wonderful town! Yes, rent is very high unfortunately. We do love our seniors and have a lot of opportunities for seniors to be part of the community.
We moved from Dallas to Oxnard to escape the Texas summers and love this place
Welcome!! How are you liking it so far?
leaving san Antonio texas for oxnard or san diego end of this year 🙌🏼
@@eeeveee9176 If you need any help in Oxnard, I would love to connect! I also have a great San Diego agent on my team that I could refer you too :)
NOTHING TO BRAG ABOUT....SNOBBY PEOPLE......HIGH HIGH RENT....LEFT IN 1998...TO PORTLAND OREGON AND NOW PORTLAND IS TOO CROWDED AND HOMELESS EVERYEHERE,...BUT VENTURA IS STILL NOTHING THERE AND TOO EXPENSIVE
MOM LIVES IN PORTLAND...SHE GOT A FREE HOUSE FROM GRANDMA SO YES SHES STILL IN VENTURA
I love Ventura. I moved away about 28 years ago. I'd like to move back to Ventura but the rents have gone up so high that I don't know how any working class people can afford to live there.
There are some great opportunities for buyers - if you are curious please reach out! ☺️
They can't. the city is approving so many development that are out of the reach of a normal income it's unreal. And the homeless are everywhere.
@@PinstripeJim
Where are all of the minimum wage workers going to live? What about the seniors and retail salespeople? It's a shame that they aren't planning for the future of Ventura. I guess they'll just keep generating homeless people. 🤨
@@Happy-uy5wc It's all political. The city follows the poor lead of the state that follows the federal government.
I move to Fillmore which is located in ventura County on highway 126 in 1988 and moved in 1997. I wish I would I make an effort to stay at least in Fillmore. Ventura County is such beautiful place to live.
Beautiful area, lived there for many years, got too costly and moved to WA. Only thing I did not like is it’s very cool at night if you want to sit outside at night, not very comfortable. Otherwise, good place to live if you can afford it.
I am fourth generation Ventura native. Left in the mid 80’s, while in HS. All the families I knew have moved away or have passed on. I had a lot of good memories, but when I lived there it was relatively conservative. Not anymore. But I was surprised how many places did remain undeveloped and there is still a lot of orchards and farm land. Very nice weather.
We just left Ventura County. Rents and Real Estate is just too expensive to live. The employment compensation rates will not cover these costs. We were native Southern Californians, and it was sad to leave, but it was leave the area or live on the streets as a homeless person.
Nice presentation, don't know you, but there are a couple of real estate agents in Ventura County that are liars and cheats. This is also one of the reasons we had to leave. Great place to live if you can, but do your due diligence on who you have helping you; often they are helping themselves more than you.
If high rents would cause you to live in the street you are bound to end up there anyway.
@@MikeJDavis747 Excellent understanding of the foundational issues to the problem.
Our family income is only around $200,000 per year. The choice is to just be house poor and spend more than a third of our net income on housing, or to go someplace where that isn't the case.
Thank you so much for the insult and exposing your true colors and outlook on life.
@@LoydChampion You could buy one of the small new condos directly across from Ventura High and next to the highly sought after Taco Bell for more than $1M.
@@PinstripeJim LOL - I lived really close to a Taco Hell before. Always an adventure and glad I had good water pressure to hose the barf off of the driveway.
Nice city, but for a handful of reasons I need to stay put in the San Fernando Valley. :/
We’re ready to welcome you when you are!
San Fernando Valley is still nicr
You helped me so much with this video. Thank you!!!
Videos like this are going to attract more people, turning Ventura into Los Angeles. No locals want that.
Top notch video photography!!😍👍👍
I moved to New York City 4 years ago after living in Ventura for 36 years.. I love the Big Apples' energy, food, and people, but I do miss the quiet ease of Ventura frequently... 😃💗🙏✌
i live here now and moving there or pasadena, too funny, but im originally from CA and the winters are done done done, so enjoy (30 yrs) done!~
I would of stayed in Ventura. I've to New York numerous times, I do agree the food is excellent, people are different, culture etc in New York. But New York is to congested, to me it feels people are more in a rush than here in California, etc. I wish I can live in Ventura
Please dont tell more people to move here
I agree. Don’t tell more people to move to Ventura. It’s getting too crowded already.
Scared personality, dont blame the people, blame ur government, they dont build anything to accommodate the people. 2 lane highway, rents thru the roof
Gréât point.
@@flip0345 If you are expecting politicians to solve your problems you’re stupid. You as a member of your community need to be on the ground helping to solve local issues.
The “influencers” are promoting places that everyday people would never find on their own because they are too stupid to do basic research.
But I doubt you’re nothing but a keyboard warrior getting your information from a comedian you take seriously.
Nice video of our hometown, but I question the use of the word "affordable".
Right, it's not.
In comparison to other Southern California beach towns, we have data to support affordable living among beach communities
@@alyssastalker "Affordable" is only related to new developments that have to have 10% of the development that fits into an annual income demographic that is still unaffordable for the average incomes in Ventura County. You should post that data. The city council seems to not have it either.
Ventura is an ideal community for any active person plenty of things for seniors to do the Channel Islands National Park is right off the coast. The places to walk around the city are outstanding I rode my skateboard around in the seventies which now you cannot do due to the law good law by the way I was knocked on the ground by a skateboarder at the point (now called Cst) 20 years ago my hip is still bothering me. No offense to you skateboarders just be careful. I also realized I was older when the kid said Mr are you okay mr? There is a lot of homelessness around the city but if you're going to be homeless 300 days of sunshine is the place to be unless you can make it up north to Santa Barbara. Ventura is the place you can go water skiing surfing and snow skiing in the same day of course you have to drive to the snow. Please come visit stay if you can afford it if you can't please keep moving. Good video!
im thinking of moving, im on a list for senior low rent, for both pasadena and ventura, im originally from CA (LA) but lived overseas 15 yrs and nyc 30- as an ex translator admin, I cant afford a car on my savings, so tho I PREFER THE BEACH vibe of ventura from what I see in vids, I dont think I can make it without a car? what do you think?
Planning next month to take 2 or 3 days vacation there , preferably close to beach area . How much will cost and any recommendations , where to stay will be appreciated
Love my town ❤️
So what is the average rent for a two room apartment?
A two-bedroom apartment...$3,000 or $100 a day
great video, thanks for that. what's the average rent price for a 1br house/apartment?
Thanks great video
The Ventura City Council is ruining Ventura. They have been compromised by big developers and are pushing out all the charming locals who created the original Ventura vibe. Plus, the new architecture is Awful. I am usually way more optimistic but the current situation in Ventura is dire.
Believe it or not these big development are the same that made iconic Ventura building that many love. We weren't always trying to be a small town we were growing rapidly until he 70s. Heck Saticoy at a time was a boom time next to Oxnard and Ventura. Now it just considered an unincorporated part of Ventura. Also we need these big developments but because of constant lawsuit and delays the benefit of most affordable housing is diminished or is delayed that we actually have a massive setback to our housing goals than benefit. Also there massive denialism that we are growing metro area ourselves. Oxnard, Camarillo, Santa Paula and Ventura are inching closer by the day. 126 and 101 might be due to have another hwy to pop up right beside them before their overrun. Also their has been some boost in transit in terms of bus options but we might want to look for other method while there still places to place them which may mean our own metro underground system similar to Los Angeles. Also we already surpassing aspect of Santa Barbara that people are coming here to Oxnard and Ventura for entertainments and jobs more and more that it too late to go back. Frankly the main problem I seeing is that many fallen into a illusion that Ventura was a laid back place when reality we were very innovated before thing like the coastal act was set by NIMBY groups to deter growth. Heck the crown plaza was made before that act was past, and that a landmark to downtown Ventura that is still used which most landmarks aren't used like they should be. There also huge disconnect to regulars people living in the city compare to more wealthy and business owners that mostly cause most of the problems. Many worker don't want to attend meeting because their tired or simply have to take care of their children. Most of our youth are already gearing up to leave because of lack of affordability. Frankly, younger people want more affordable housing and jobs because their not here for scenic views but because their family, and friends grew up here.
I'm just curious, does anyone know what her necklace is?
It’s a cross my husband had made for me! I believe it’s from a maker on etsy ☺️
@@alyssastalker Thank you for responding to me. i have never seen one on its' side before. Is there significance to that ?
@@sweeet313 No significance just the design :) I do like that it doesn't get caught on things as easily!
Are you by any chance related to Becky Kassen, VHS 1981, your mom or aunt?
Thinking about retiring there. Would like to know how it fairs as a place for retirees.
We have friends that purchased a manufactured home in a Ventura retirement community - $500,000. Monthly dues - $1,300.
Feel free to get in touch with any questions!

Why don’t you talk about the huge homeless problem that’s here
Sorry, that doens't fit the narrative. She's trying to make a living selling homes in a city that's hard to live in.
theres homeless everywhere. I moved to texas a year theres homeless here too 🤦🏻♂
I need to board a horse.
Does that sound ridiculous?
No! There’s options around.
Born and raised here. But it has changed for the worse. Building on every square inch they can , and unaffordable. Downtown looks like a battle zone . The city council’s have ruined a beautiful city .
Get your FACTS RIGHT. You are. Comparing LA to. Ventura
Do a better job in general . Very poor on Your knowledge .
Affordable?....hahaaaaaa
Woke!!! Get my hometown out of your mouth
No, dowtown has been transformed into an unsightly hodge podge if canopies, k rail barricades and makeshift patios. That's what happens when council members didn't grow up here. No connection, never will. Not to mention how they're destroying my hometown one ugly apartment/condo complex at a time.
If you're not born here or came 25 years ago you need to leave with your gay flag by the way when I was a kid in the 70s young Patagonia owner hire Ventura ave kids to go out on a barge with hundreds of concert tires at North of surfer point it took out 2 hundreds yards of sand at the pier now send your billions to replace the sand at pier.
I agree 100%!
New construction doesn't have the Spanish flair, just square, block-like buildings. In my opinion, it's destroying the charm of this coastal city.
