As a military spouse, this is yet another place that I have lived. I lived in Oxnard for 3 yrs. The area where I lived is a very nice one. It’s a typical Southern California town, and lifestyle. There are lots of beaches and great shopping available. You can take the PCH to Malibu in 20 to 30 minutes, and it’s the prettiest drive (1 hr) to LAX, that there is!
Oxnard is home to the annual California Strawberry Festival, which occurs in May, I think. The Festival is a blast; lots of good food and entertainment. A plus about the area? Sometime celebrity spottings! Brad Pitt and Maddox were seen late last year shopping at the Oxnard Sports Chalet, and Sandra Bullock and hubby Jesse James ate at a local McDonalds!
