Ventura County is a hidden gem. It’s just outside of LA, yet there’s a distinct difference in lifestyle. Lots of hiking, beaches (totally uncrowded), funky main street (Ventura), beautiful harbors with alot of water activities (kayaking, day trips to the Channel Islands).

Close to Santa Barbara and Malibu. All the amenities of large cities without the crowds and traffic. Also alot of agricultural areas and old-school farm towns like Fillmore and Santa Paula. So glad I live here!
